The 2021-22 Millicent Bowls Club Men’s Championship Triples competition was finalised last week.

Leading up to the Grand Final, 14 teams took part in the competition played over 15 ends and due to the number of rounds required to reach the decider it was unable to be completed in one day.

In the end Carl Schapel, John Scudds and Aaron Emonson met Bryan Roper, Andre Reinders and David Reichelt in the big game.

The Grand Final was played over 18 ends with the Roper team getting away to a strong start being 5up after the first two ends.

At the eighth end there was only a one shot difference in the score with the Roper team sitting on eight and the Schapel team on seven.

But for the remainder of the game the Roper team were far too strong. Although winning four ends each, the Roper team was able to score 14 shots to the Schapel side only four shots.

With the final score finishing with the Roper side 23 to the Schapel side’s 11, the last end did not have to be played.

This gave Roper, Reinders and Reichelt the title of Millicent Bowls Club Triples Champions for 2021/22 season.

Meanwhile, this week 38 players took to the greens on a lovely spring day for the latest round of Millicent 2-4-2 bowls.
