Zone 11 teams outgunned in new Grade 1 Pennants
DOUBLE Bay’s Grade 1 team opened its 2015 Pennant commitment in the newly
constituted Metro Cup with a result which emphasised the strength of the overall
competition.
The team returned from Carlingford Bowling Club without a point in the
revised scoring system for all pennant grades where results are based only on
the aggregate shots of the three rinks.
The Metro Cup, which is made up of two sections of
SUNDAY
Grade 1 teams from Zones, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, will
FUNDAY
prove a tough assignment for the Zone 11 clubs from
SUCCESS
the Eastern Suburbs and Sydney Central.
Report and
Double Bay went down at Carlingford (Zone 10) on
pictures
all three rinks for a 2-0 loss on a 20-shot aggregate
next edition
deficit of 42-62.
Significantly none of the six Zone 11 clubs recorded a
win in the first round of the Metro Cup.
In the Zone 11 Pennants Double Bay recorded wins in Grades 2, 5, 6, and 7,
with one loss in Grade 3.

Strong Major Singles field lines up for 2015 title
ENTRIES for the 2015 Major Singles due to get underway
this weekend has fallen to the smallest in the past three
years, but it is a quality field of 42.
Last year the Major Singles, considered as the club’s
foremost championship event, had a record entry of 50
members. In 2013 the draw had 48 contestants and in 2012 the
total was 46.
However, the strength of the 2015 draw is such that it
includes 10 players who have been involved in a
Championship final since 2002.
Nine of the past 14 titles have been taken out by five players
(pictured at right) Gerald Weinberg (3), Jack Kampel (2),
Harold Jankelowitz (2), Brandon Conway and Peter Levy.
In the same period 11 members have been unsuccessful in the
championship round. Brandon Conway and Ray Jankelowitz, were
both beaten in two finals, while Jack Kampel, Bernard Fridman,
John Wineberg, Pepe Glick, Gerald Weinberg, Doug King and
Walter Jacobs have all once collected the runners-up prize.
All are competing for the 2015 title, which started on Sunday with
a 10-match first round which is to be completed by this coming
Sunday, March 8.
The draw threw up several tip-top opening round contests
and provided at least two upset results.
Doug King scored an impressive 31-20 win over Peter Levy while
Harold Jankelowitz failed by two shots (31-29) to overcome the upand-coming ability of Grade 6 opponent David Kellaway, who now
meets King in the second round.
Two-time winner, Jack Kampel, has an easier task against Grade
6’s Peter Erdos.
Gerald Weinberg will have a to pull out all stops to pave the way
for his fourth Major Singles crown when he meets fellow Grade 1
member, Arnold Javen,
Conway has drawn the consistent John Wineberg, while another
even tussle should be when Jacobs is challenged by Grade 3
combatant, Werner Kos.
The only current members, who are previous Major Singles
Champions not competing this year, are Rob Fetherston and his son
Matthew. Rob, since the Rose Bay merger, has taken out the title in
2013, 2002, 2001 and 2000, while Matthew won the title in 2011, but
is now a dual member with Alexandria Erskineville.
James Cook won the event during his stint as the club’s
administrator in 2008 and was runner-up in 2007.
