Spec Savers Tournament 2011

This post, originally created in December 2011, was unfortunately lost somewhere in the internet jungle and never appeared in our newsletter. With apologies to our generous sponsor, Specsavers of Hermanus, we place the post here - better late, they say, than never !

A most successful Spec Savers Tournament was held at the Club on Tuesday 6th December 2011.

We hosted a full house barring one rink, with 102 Players participating. The day was a resounding success with 15 outside teams from other Clubs participating. All agreed that it was possibly the most successful Spec Savers tournament yet! 20 teams from Hermanus entered,  and for a first ever "at home" event the top three teams were from Hermanus Bowls Club, namely:

First -       Skip :  D. Franken;  Second : J. le Grange; Lead : S. de Wet 


Second -  Skip:  G. Erasmus;  Second:  P. Neethling; Lead: B. Scannell


Third -      Skip: K. Kruth; Second: P. de Wet; Lead: K. Hugo


Quite a brilliant achievement all round. The President extends grateful thanks to all the players, officials and assistants who helped make this tournament one to remember.

Before the battle commenced...... much socialising, and such a beautiful day!

 After the last bowl was rolled.... a full day on the greens, so now it's time to compare suntans and enjoy a beer!

The team from L'Agulhas club were the tail-end Charlies on the day - here they are (nameless) being consoled by Mr. Gotz, our generous sponsor
