Valentine’s weekend saw a two-day lawn bowling event take place at Coco Club with thirteen triples teams playing for a share of the 30,000 baht prize money. In 2 divisions there were teams and players from Australia, Thailand, England, Scotland and Holland and by the end of day one some teams started to emerge as main contenders.
Division A was clearly going in the direction of the Army team of Buzz, Tak and the aptly named Koko from Bangkok but a late second day rally from Harvey, Joe and Aussie Dennis put them also in the semis. Division B turned into a fight between the two Dutch led teams of Dennis, On and Ian (who won the group) and the trio of Frank, Nit and Sue.
Frank, Nit and Sue celebrate their victory.
The semis showed that B Division was slightly stronger with both semi finals won by the Dutch led teams to force a rematch in the final. This time however it was Frank’s team who got their revenge and took the winners’ trophies and the 15,000 baht first prize with a 13-5 win.
An evening sing-a-long concluded two very enjoyable social days of bowling during which the referee was not asked to adjudicate once during the 390 end of bowls!
The next event will be during Songkran in April.
