2012
Senior National Championships
The
3rd annual TBNZ Senior National
Championships were held at
Tenpin Tauranga, where over
75 bowlers from around the
country, including a small
contingent from Australia,
competed in singles, doubles,
mixed doubles, teams and all
events, all striving to make
the masters on the last day
and to find the 2012 National
Champions for each division.
A lot of bowlers found the
lane conditions very challenging
with scoring not as high as
previous years. Full results
of each discipline can be
seen on the results link below,
however here is a summary
of the all events and masters.
In the graded men’s
division Jim Knappstein topped
the all events ahead of Ramon
Tiu and Colin Hirst and in
the women’s, Jacquie
Meyer finished on top ahead
of Barbara Morgan and Brenda
Steele.
It was a close finish in the
women’s open all events,
with Lynnaire Churchill winning
this by just 6 pins ahead
of Annabelle Swain and Ina
Young. Local bowler Phil Wright
won the open men’s,
just ahead of Wayne Booth
and Fred Housham.
The 3 day event ended with
the masters to find the 2012
National Champions and first
up was the graded men’s
and open women’s finals.
The masters for graded men
was won by Colin Hirst, with
Ramon Tiu and Dennis Warrington
finishing second and third
respectively. In the National
Champion standings Jim Knappstein
took out the overall Title
ahead of last year’s
winner Colin Hirst, Ramon
Tiu finishing third. In the
women’s open division,
Lynnaire Churchill won the
masters ahead of Annabelle
Swain and Ina Young, and in
the race for the National
Champion, Lynnaire Churchill
also took out this title ahead
of the same two women.
Up next was the graded women’s
and men’s open final.
It was a close finish for
most positions in the women’s
graded masters with Jacquie
Meyer taking this out ahead
of Brenda Steele and Barbara
Morgan. Jacquie Meyer also
took out the National Champion
Title with Barbara Morgan
finishing in second place
and Brenda Steele third. In
the men’s open division
Roger Tucker held onto the
lead for most of the tournament
winning the masters ahead
of German Ebue and John Bloomfield.
The National Champion title
again went to Phil Wright
for the third year in a row
just ahead of Wayne Booth
with Roger Tucker.
