Mount Gambier RSL team takes out Millicent Bowling Club Ladies Invitational Fours

The day at the Millicent Bowls Club started at 9.30am, with 14 teams taking part in the Ladies Invitiational Fours with players coming from as far afield as Bordertown.

Players were asked to come with a Christmas themed outfit. Before starting the day players had the opportunity to win a prize by bowling to the ditch with the closest bowl to the ditch winning the prize. This was won by Liz Copping, from Penola, and Carol Miller, from Lucindale.

The best dressed teams for the Christmas theme went to Helen Lynch’s team from Robe and Ella Pietersma, from Millicent, for the best Christmas hat.

The competition consisted of 12 ends before a catered lunch and two games of 10 ends before afternoon tea.

Winners for the day was a team from Mount Gambier RSL, which included Joy Bilney, Karen Doman, Merna Whitehead and Jane Crowder.

Second place went to the Beachport team of Jill Preston, Anne Marie Goode, Lynette Smith and Pam Snook and in third spot was a team from Kingston, Helen Vawser, Tracey Willmott, Julie Clarke and Urai Jacobs.
