Fine weather and tough competition meant another successful Men’s Fours Classic Tournament to start the new year for the Wānaka Bowling Club.

The annual tournament attracted a full field of 16 teams from many parts of Otago and Southland.

The Wānaka team of Simon Nyhof (skip), Brett Simpson, Don Cameron and Bill Turnbull beat a Queenstown team 15-12 to win the Classic Trophy.

"This is a tough competition to win, and it’s great to have so many top players coming to Wānaka to compete each year," Nyhof said.

The Wānaka Bowling Club continues to grow with new members, and will celebrate its centennial during Labour Weekend this year.
