Just one match in Round 1 of the Triples championship with all the other teams having a bye through to the Quarter Finals. Graham Hancock's team got the win against Bruce Mason's team and will move forward to the next round to be played on Saturday.

One of the Quarter Finals was also played on Saturday, Fred Alexander's team had a big win and now sit waiting for their semi-final opponent.

Sunday saw the first round of the Mixed Pairs Championship played in very nice conditions. It was a most enjoyable day of bowling. 

Our Grade 3 sides are on a roll after notching up two wins away from home yesterday. St Ives (1) won at Killara 67-60 (4 pts to 2) while St Ives (2) beat Lane Cove (2) 62-53 (6 pts to 0). St Ives (1) top their ladder by a point from Dee Why (1) and Lindfield Rollers (1). St Ives (2) are in second place behind the unbeaten Balgowlah.

In Grade B St Ives were beaten at home by Dee Why 80-87 (1 pt to 5). That result brings their record to 0-2 and it is a tough battle now to catch the leaders Dee Why (3-0) and Mosman (2-0).

Congratulations to Tim Walton & Peter Larcombe who took out the 2019 Pairs Championship on Saturday. The Final was played in cold & blustery conditions and the match was very close early on before Tim & Peter took control & held on for the win & repeat their triumph of last year. The final score was 22-13.

Well done, Greig.

Congratulations, Rod.
