Today was the last
day of competition and the final day went well for the Aussies. The morning saw
all competitions in both the men's and ladies sections have good wins. The
afternoon did likewise except for the men's triples which were beaten by New
Zealand.
The presentations,
which took place on the green saw brilliant sunshine for only the second time
during the competition.
First the ladies
results...
Dianna Reddick
picked up her first international medal with a silver in the singles. Northern Ireland the winner.
The pairs saw Robyn
Larkin Lead and Gail Dellar skip pick up a silver medal( Gail's first medal
also) Scotland the gold medal.
The triples saw our
first gold medal with Dianna Reddick lead, Maureen Prudden 2nd and first time
skip Janet Hogan being undefeated for the tournament.
The Ladies fours saw
a silver medal. Scotland the gold medal
The points tally had
the Australian ladies team win the ladies overall competition.
As the results
show, the men didn't repeat their Perth
performance and the Uk dominated the medal tally with no southern hemisphere
team winning a medal.
However the men
winning 3 out 4 games on the last day help put the Australian team
outright 3rd in the country competition .They finished behind northern Ireland
and Scotland who have won the overall event for consecutive competitions.
Today the team had
an organised tour of the Mourne Mountains and tonight the final event of the
competition being the closing celebration dinner. At the dinner the host
country for the 8th international deaf lawn bowls competition will be
announced. The hot favorite is New Zealand.
Tomorrow the
team starts to head back to Australia
although some members are including visits to various parts of Europe.
Hope everyone has
enjoyed reading this post.
