Lawn Bowls / Mixed fours title goes to 
Ramat Gan 

By Norman Spiro 

The final of the annual national mixed fours competition was played 
this week at the Ramat Gan lawn bowls club, and the host club's 
foursome of Rami Oron, Micah Farkash, Dafne Rothstein and Tzila 
Gavish came through, defeating the Ra'anana side of Zvika Hadar, 
Yoram Arielli, Carol Rafic and Naomi Fix 15-11. 

Played in damp, rainy weather, Ra'anana led 6-4 after six ends, when 
a downpour caused the game to be temporarily suspended. After play 
resumed, and in tightly contested heads, Ra'anana led 8-7 after 11 
ends, and 11-9 after 14 ends. 

But this then saw the Ramat Gan players combining well, with each 
player alternatively delivering shot-saving bowls, particularly so by 
skipper Rami Oron. With Ramat Gan winning three successive heads, 
Ra'anana was left standing with 11 shots, and when the final end was 
started, Ramat Gan led 14-11. 

In the last end, Ra'anana held two shots near the jack only for second 
player Rothstein's attacking bowl to split open the head and allow coplayer 
Farkash to draw the lying shot. 

Skip Hadar was faced with the challenge of saving the game by 
removing Farkash's bowl for a three or four count, but with his two 
bowls missing the target.
