Tokoroa Players shine at Waikato Champ Pairs
What an amazing weekend 15-16 Oct was for Tokoroa players at the Waikato Championship Pairs - whether playing as a Tok team or teaming up with players from other clubs.
First up we have our only men's team in the tournament - Paul Howe and Gordon Bond who came out winners after beating Hillcrest's Shane Bowe and Malcolm Moore 16/6. It makes a nice addition to the Champ Champ Men's Pairs they won last year .
As for the ladies - well Maia and Kath made it into semis after beating fellow Tok player Carol Cox who teamed up with Karen de Jong 16/15. Unfortunately they were pipped in the semis by eventual winners Tok Tourny Sec Glenda and Putaruru's Yvonne Carter 14/13. Glenda and Yvonne went on to beat Put's Katrina Ensor and Judy Marr 14/10 to take the Ladies Champ Pairs.
Tokoroa Players are on fire!!!

Farewell to our amazing President
It was a huge shock when we learnt of the sudden death of our lovely President - Maria Howe on 18 Aug 2022. Maria has been a dedicated member of the Bowling community since 2014 and has won many a competition both at club level and centre level over the years.
