2023-24 PAIRS CHAMPIONS
17 September 2023
Congratulations to our Pairs champions for 2023-24, who put on an exciting afternoon of bowls for the spectators. In the final, Di McBryde and Vicki Bartrop were up against defending champions Kate Wingrove and Jenny Hepburn (Neutral Bay). Going into the final end, scores were level 20-20 and St Ives had “last bowl”. Lead Di told her skip it was “very, very close” for shot, so Vicki went to inspect the head to decide “who has shot” and “should I play my last bowl or declare”? She returned to the mat and announced she wouldn’t play the bowl, although she admitted she wasn’t sure who was holding match. The umpire was called immediately to measure. It turned out Vicki’s gamble had paid off when the measure, and therefore the match, was won by St Ives 21-20. The Region 15 play-off is at Belrose on Sunday morning 24 September.
