Update from Waitangi Day: New Plymouth's Val and Grayson McEldowney have done it again and won the TSB Bank-sponsored mixed pairs title. The pair needed five extra ends to beat Fitzroy's Janice Ropitini and Don West 23-18 in the final, after the scores were tied at 16-all after the 16 scheduled ends.

West End's Dave Wilson delivered the results to back up the widely held belief that he is a player of the future as a member of Craig Johns' team, which won the Trough Mobile-sponsored men's open triples. The Johns' side also needed five extra ends to beat Paritutu's Mike Curd, Brian Kjestrup and Allan Batley 24-20, after the scores had been level at 17-all after the scheduled 21 ends.

Play has concluded on day two of the 107th TSB Bank Taranaki men’s open fours bowls tournament.

After four rounds, only of the 212 sides remain unbeaten. They include two from a cut-throat fourth section, where Southland singles player, Glen Milne (Waihopi), is out of contention after just one victory. The two unbeaten sides in that section are Tauranga South’s Graham Skellern and Frankton Railway’s Wayne Stewart, whose side is actually being skipped by Raika Gregory.

Milne’s southern mate, Paul McKinnel (Te Rangi) has coasted home with four wins so far and looks odds-on to qualify, as does Terry Lynch (Naenae).

Alton’s Grant Anderson maintained his unbeaten record, as did another useful local side, John Reid (Paritutu). Reid comfortably overcame Northern’s Craig Gush this afternoon, which completed a miserable day for the 2005 winner, after a loss in the morning as well.

The feature game of the day was this afternoon at Port View between Hinuera’s Stu Settle and West End’s Gary Lilley. The teams went point-for-point, for the Waikato side triumphed 20-17. Settle now has four wins, and while Lilley is only on two, he has a comfortable run home in section play.
