Weekend Bowling Activity In Shannon

Activity oh the Shannon Bowling Club's green over the weekend was confined mostly to local games., The green is now- in exoellent order and eaeh evening sees a large gathering of members on the green. The 'only inter-club match played over the weekend was when four local rinks played in the flnal series of the triangular shield series against the Levin Club, two rinks playing at Levin and two oii the local green. After a very interesting match, Levin were successful in winning by a narrow margin of two points, scoring 79 against Shannon 's 77. On Tuesday of last - week, 17 women from Levin visited Shannon to .play a match against the local women. Unfortunately weather conditions were most unkind and the fixture had to be discontinued after only one 'or two. heads had been played. However, the rain did.not stop the social side and a most, delightful afternoon teas was served by the Shannon women. On behalf of the Levin Club, Mrs. Lett extended thanks to the local women for the most enjoyable afternoon and expressed the hope that the game could be played at some future date when it was hoped that the weather would be more i favourable. Mrs. G. Fitzgerald of the local club, thanked the Levin women for making the trip and endorsed Mrs. Lett's remarks regarding the playing of the fixture later in the season. Next Saturday one rink of local players will meet the Foxton rink for the Dixon Cup. The fixture will be played at Foxton. Those selected to represent Shannon will be advised later.
