BOWLS

IN BLUSTERY weather conditions the second day of the 72nd Felixstowe Open Bowling Tournament got under way with the ladies' pairs competition.

The shock result of the day was the defeat of Brenda Brown and Pam Tarbard 28-7 by Joan Flegg and Ann Durrant.

After having a narrow win in the first round the 2000 runners-up, Barbara Cooper and Andrea Dickinson, went out in the next round to Elsie Wright and Gwen Dowling.

Last year's winners, Joyce Love and Ann Baxter, also bowed out, losing 20-19 to Heather Wade and Pam Smith.

In late afternoon the weather improved and the mixed triples were played in glorious sunshine in the evening.

Tomorrow sees the start of the men's premier event, the singles, with further rounds of the ladies' pairs and mixed triples in the evening.
