GREEN OPEN
Last Sunday our teams were playing in Section play of the Bowls Canterbury Sevens.
In the Women's Div 1 Section 1 our team played outstanding bowls to finish top and move on to Post Section play next weekend. The Women's Div 2 team were only 1 win away from topping their Section.
In the Men's event our Div 1 lads secured top spot in their Section with 7 wins. Div 2 Men came second in their Section, they had huge differential advantage but couldn't find a win against Riccarton R/Course.
Post Section is this Sunday 21st December, we wish our teams well. All games start at 9am.
Rebecca lost a very tight game in the Women's Singles, Rohan Ware lost his singles to the eventual champion in his Semi, then lost his Pairs final. Extremely high standard of bowls as you would expect, very proud of our players.

Laws Questions:
Q1. Are the players in either a Pairs, Triples, or Fours game allowed to change their positions during the course of the game?
Q2. What should happen if a bowl in its original course strikes the foot of a player from its own team?
