Although one or two very light rain showers fell, they did not have any material effect on the Masterton Bowling Club’s greens this afternoon, when the semi-final and final of the Wairarapa Bowling Centre’s annual New Year tournament were concluded. The green was in excellent playing order, and the weather was really quite good when the matches were played. The semi-final was between a Carterton rink comprising Harris, Stent, Masson, Barber (s.) and a Masterton club rink composed of Stewart, Jones, Hayne, Reid (s.). After playing a full 21 heads, the. match was won by the Carterton rink, 26-13, this rink then playing off for the final honours with a Masterton rink comprising Hunter, Bannister, Roberts, Taylor (s.). Play in the final game became very exciting at times, and the many visitors were treated to a good exhibition of I bowls, the match finally resulting in a win for the Carterton rink by 20-13, who thus take the honour of being the champion rink of the Wairarapa Bowling Centre’s 1935 New Year tournament.
