Huge congratulations to the St Ives ladies, who scored a 5-0 win over Lindfield Rollers in the resumed round 3 match to secure the Division 2 Pennant. This was a game that had previously been rained out so at start of play, St ives was up 3:2 on Vicki's rink and down 3:7 on Di's rink. Vicki's team built a big early lead before Lindfield fought back. Ultimately however, the final score was convincing to St Ives. Di's team had a lot of work to do, with Lindfield building on their initial lead. St Ives fought back strongly, taking the score to 12:12 before securing the lead and winning convincingly. District President Sue Hamilton was on hand to present the flag and badges to the victorious side.  J Cox, J McCullagh, R Martin, V Bartrop, S Byrne, B Barton, A Cowlishaw, D McBryde

The District Senior Women’s Singles final was played at Belrose BC on Sunday 13 August, between Vicki Bartrop (St Ives) and Elaine Seidler (Neutral Bay), with Vicki winning 25-16. Vicki goes on to play the Regional Playoff next weekend to see who represents Region 15 at the State Championships.  We saw some excellent bowling in the finals of the Women's Club Triples today. The team of Jen Cox, Shizuko Hashimoto and Vicki Bartrop won the match against Carol Whitehead, Di McBryde and Rhonwen Martin. Vicki's team got off to a very strong start and had a good lead halfway through the 25 ends. However, Rhonwen's team fought back in the second half to bring the scores closer. Well played ladies! We had a fantastic day today for St Ives Fives. The weather gods were kind - it rained at lunch time but morning and afternoon were both fine. 17 visiting clubs plus St Ives played in the competition. The St Ives team of Vicki, Di, Rhonwen, Jan and Shizuko played very well and came in 3rd overall. Nick created a delicious lunch for us. All in all, a great day.  Di McBryde and Vicki Bartrop played the Consistency Singles Final. The bowls were described as "inspiring". Both ladies shared the lead throughout most of the match but Vicki managed to get ahead over the last few ends. Spectators were most complimentary about the standard of bowls. Congratulations to both ladies for playing so well. Extra congratulations to Vicki for taking out the win.  Being very grateful for some blue skies, we played round 1 of the Consistency Singles today. There were some close matches so well played to everyone. Vicki & Di are currently in Tamworth playing in the 2021 State Championships so their matches will be played as soon as possible. We plan to continue the matches as soon as weather permits.  We saw two very close semi final games today. Congratulations to all players for excellent bowls.  |
