Stewart & Skeer win men’s handicap pairs

The Millicent Bowls Club has hosted its Annual Men’s Handicap Pairs with 22 players taking part in the competition. After completing three games of 12 ends in a knockout format, the grand final saw Neil Whelan and Andre Reinders going up against Kym Stewart and Steve Skeer. The inital rounds were played on April 2 but with three the games finishing in draws, meaning another end had to be played to determine the winner so once the combatants were decided, the title decider was held over until Good Friday. In the grand final, Neil Whelan’s team had to give Kym Stewart’s team a two shot start. At the 8th end Neil and Andre scored a four which put them one shot up but then Kym and Steve scored one shot on the next end to put the score at 13 shots all. Kym and Steve then scored a four and on the following end a two which was enough to get them over the line to win the competition and become the Handicap Pairs Champions for 2023.
