The Millicent Bowls Club held its annual Somerset/Hahn Open Fours competition last Thursday when plenty of action took place.

The day’s program was played with one game of 12 ends in the morning and two games of pairs over the lunch period.

One pair played 10 ends while the second pair had lunch then the reverse took place, while after lunch a second game of fours was played over 12 ends.

No less than 18 teams took part in the day with players coming from Mount Gambier, Mount Gambier RSL, Port MacDonnell and Kingston.

After all of the ends a combined team featuring Mount Gambier and Millicent players emerged on top.
