Men's Junior Pairs
Poor weather meant there was no play on Saturday in the
Men's Junior Pairs. Sunday was a little better and three
games were completed. At the close of play five teams are
still in contention. Two lifers include Dave Jenkins /
Russell Turner and Barry Gardner / Geoff Taylor. Three teams
have one life; Peter Townrow / Gary deRidder, Dave Roberts /
Dave Jones and Richard Hocking / Cory Morgan. When play
resumes Richard and Cory will have a bye.
We get all
sorts of spectators at our bowling green |

CENTRE - Women's Open Fours
Although
Port Ahuriri was the venue for this year's Women's Open Fours
there was no play on Saturday. Games were resheduled to Bowls
Heretaunga on Sunday. When I called in our girls (Fay, Wanda,
Maree and Julie) were holding their own but there was still
another full game to be played. Post-Section play will continue
in March (?) Check the Bowls HB website for more accurate
results. |

Etiquette - Don’t Look For Excuses
Excuses for bad play by bowlers should not be made. Good
bowlers play poor games occasionally. When beaten, they do
not blame the condition of the green, the wind, or anything
else - their victors had the same conditions to contend
with. It is bad form to bewail one's luck - generally the
better bowler has the better luck. |

Slow and Fast Greens
The speed of a green is indicated by the number of seconds a
bowl takes to cover the distance from delivery until it
comes to rest 27m from the front of the mat. On fast greens,
where the surface is dry and smooth, the arc travelled by
the bowl will be large so the bowl will take longer to cover
the distance, perhaps 15 to 20 seconds. On slow greens,
where the ground may be soft and the grass more lush, the
arc will be more narrow and the bowl will cover a more
direct route to the jack taking less time, perhaps 12
seconds. |

QUESTION |
What are the responsibilities of skips in a game of bowls?
Law 37 Responsibilities
of the Skip
(abbreviated)
The skip will have sole
charge of the team and all players in the team should follow
the skip’s instructions. The skip should decide all disputed
points with the opposing skip. If the skips cannot reach
agreement on any disputed point, they should ask the umpire
to make a decision. The umpire’s decision is final. If there
is no umpire, the skips should choose a competent neutral
person to act as the umpire.
Skips can, at any time, delegate their own powers and any of
their own duties to any other members of the team as long as
they tell the opposing skip immediately. |

Weather
Keeping track of the weather can often be a nuisance. Some
of you might have forgotten there is a link to Napier
weather forecast in the top RH corner of this page. It
breaks the weather down into 3 hour segments.
