The Game that Did not Finish
Burton Bowls Washed Out
The annual Easter Bowling Tournament for the Burton Cup was marred by rain this year; so much so that the final, not played till the Tuesday afternoon, had to be called a draw after steady rain kept falling later in the day.
The finalists were the Gisborne Club team and the Naenae team.
Backed by a sodden green covered with surface water is the visiting Naenae team. From left, Messrs Colin Dow (lead), Tom Massey (2), Wally McLennon (3) and Cliff McCoy (skip).
The Gisborne team is, from left, Messrs Bill Crowley (skip), Geoff Crowley (3), Duncan Lamont (2) and Alan Queen (lead).
The two skips count the last head before abandoning play.
