Following the wash-out of the First Year singles last weekend, the Board has resolved that this competition will now be held on May 7-8. Locations TBC. The Centre Office will contact clubs to re-confirm entries. The format will be determined once entry numbers are known.

With water-logged greens and more rain forecasted, the First Year singles has been cancelled for this weekend. The Taranaki Board will assess this situation at its next meeting and advise clubs of the outcome in due course.

Rain has caused the postponement of the First year singles at Stratford-Avon today. Only one round has been manageable.

Players will report back to Stratford-Avon on Sunday, at 9am. The conditions of play will be released then.

Should the weather not be favourable, then an announcement will be made on here by 7.15am on Sunday.

Paritutu is back on top in Taranaki men’s interclub bowls.

It won the first division title at West End on Sunday in commanding fashion, claiming its seventh title in nine years in the TCB Dentures-sponsored event.

Paritutu powered away with eight wins and one draw – and that was well after the final result had been determined – from nine games. That carried Paritutu to 17 points, well clear of West End (10), Tower (4) and Inglewood (3).

Singles player Darren Goodin returned three-straight wins, although he had to go into overtime to edge Dean Elgar 21-18 in the opening round, after earlier leading 15-3.

John and Aidan Zittersteijn produced a profitable performance in the pairs, the father-and-son duo recording three convincing wins. Hamish Kape’s four of Don Christensen, Allan Batley and Adam Collins won their opening two games before settling for a draw in the last round.

Kape produced a brilliant shot late in the second game, trailing the jack for a seven, as his team came from behind to beat Steve Walker (West End) 21-17.

In the second division, an unbeaten opening two rounds was enough to see the Waitara side of Kevin Waters, Bill Rona, Kevin Kenny, Jeff Jane, Cliff Rona, Jimmy Haupapa, Grant McAuley and Trevor Zimmerman take out the title. Waitara finished with 12 points ahead of Paritutu (10), West End (9) and Manaia (3).

In the third division, Paritutu won with 25 points, with Tower, Lepperton and Waitara finishing second-equal on 22. The winning Paritutu team was Martin Jordan, Peter Vynk, Alex Riddock, Eddie Betts, Bill Mitchell, Steve Taylor, Trevor Johns and Trevor Keightley.

Meanwhile, in a dramatic conclusion, Opunake became the inaugural winners of the Bayleys Real Estate-sponsored junior interclub when it beat Lepperton 18-17 on an extra end in the final.

The Opunake side comprised Daryl MacKenzie, Julie Hemahema, Kewene Ratahi and Levi Davis, while the Lepperton team was Shelley Baldwin, Neil Sole, Fred Quilter and Tina Quilter.

As a result of the victory, Opunake became the first holders of the John Murtagh Trophy, named in recognition of the glorious contribution Murtagh has made to the sport as a New Zealand champion and representative and as a coach extraordinaire.

In a poignant moment, Davis, who has received tuition from Murtagh as a member of the Vic Balance development programme, calmly drew a toucher on the extra end to secure the title.
