Cup returns to Peninsula Club cabinet

Since it’s inception in 2013, the PenMan Bowling Tournament has been played seven times.

The tournament takes place between the bowlers of the Peninsula Club retirement village and the Manly Bowling Club.

It came about when Chris Lambert, the manager of the Peninsula Club at the time, and village resident Norma Klaassen, both members of Manly Bowling Club, decided to organise an annual fun challenge between the two groups.

The Peninsula Club hosts the day, including providing a trophy, prizes, lunch and refreshments.

This year, the event took place on January 14. It is always played with a great amount of camaraderie and fun and even a heavy deluge during the first game didn’t dampen spirits.

Going in, it was 4-2 in favour of Manly Bowling but the Peninsula bowlers were determined to get the trophy back on their club mantelpiece and achieved this, winning 13 games to 11.
