It was ‘all business’ on Tuesday nights over the summer at Bowls Warkworth.
Warkworth RSA easily took out the overall points trophy at the Business House Bowls this month after taking the top spot in both the December and January series tournaments.
The champion team consisted of Geoff Copestake, Nadine Revell and Daniel Fairley.
Tournament organiser Hugh Bateman says there were 18 teams in the competition this year.
He says a special mention must go to Mason Containers, which sponsored a random draw prize for each night of the series. Its team also made No 9.
Other notable teams included Rhodes for Roads, which entered the competition for the first time.
On the night of the prizegiving last week, Team Hoteo, led by George Wech, challenged The Plumbers, led by Jason Wech, to a final match for the season for bragging rights.
However, The Plumbers were late back from a fishing trip and so Hoteo were left to play themselves.
Bowls Warkworth also hosted a “corner-to-corner” competition, in which bowlers try to get their bowl as close as possible to an opposite diagonal corner.
It cost $1 per bowl, and players competed for a bottle of malt whisky and bourbon.
“Each team also went home with prizes of a liquid nature, thanks to New World Warkworth,” Hugh says.
He says the Business House Bowls at Bowls Warkworth has been going 21 years and continues to enjoy keen participation by local businesses.
