Kew Bowling Club

22nd JUNE, 2025

The Final of the Club Championship Triples was played on Friday, and the standard of play was absolutely fantastic. Both sides have played great bowls to reach the final, so the contest between Terry Miles, Barrie Isaac and Dean Gemmell against Ian Orr, Dave Jones and Phil Collins was expected to be close. A good crowd watched a game truly worthy of being a final. So often, the shot bowl was replaced by an even closer one, only for it to be hit out and replaced. This continued for end after end. After 18 ends, the scores were tied at 18 all, where finally Team Collins strung a few ends together to finally win 29-22. The standard of play was spectacular, as was the sportsmanship. Congratulations Ian Orr, Dave Jones and Phil Collins for holding strong till the end. A big thank you to the runners up, Terry Miles, Barrie Isaac and Dean Gemmell for playing a truly fantastic game, making the contest a great spectacle for the lucky onlookers.
