Exciting Times

A good season for the Wānaka Bowling Club has just got better.
Pip Kiddey took out the Central Otago women’s centre singles title that was played last Sunday, 2 February, at the Alexandra District Club.

This notable win for Kiddey and the Wānaka Club is the first time that a Wānaka player has won the singles title since Rhonda Hurley won in 2014. Rhonda commented that, “Pip had a great weekend winning all of her qualifying games, and she is a very worthy winner of the title”. Kiddey beat JaneAnderson from the Queenstown club 21-17 in a high-quality final that was watched by a big crowd on a very warm afternoon.

Kiddey will now represent Central Otago at the New Zealand championships to be played in Auckland in mid-July.

The win for Kiddey followed the earlier success of Jo Stock and Kim Tilly, also of the Wānaka club, who won the Central Otago women’s pairs title last October.

The Wānaka club had 4 women competitors in the event, reflecting the strength of the local club. All local players competed well in a competition that was notable for a number of new players.
