RON Elston and Ann Cowling put up a good fight in the Wellington Bowling Club Mixed Pairs semi-final but Liz and Mike Copping were the victors by a very convincing 19 shots to 2.

Ron and Ann did all they could but their opponents were playing too well on the day.

Liz and Mike collected two fours along the way to an excellent victory. Liz, in particular,deserved congratulating because she only took up bowls in the summer.

Everyone is looking forward to the final next Sunday when Mike and Liz play Nick and Sue Channon.
