What a fantastic week for Hamer! He not only won the Veterans Singles, but also joined forces with his brother, David, to win the Veterans Pairs, sponsored by Robertshaw’s Electrical Appliances, at Hipperholme. Their first game was a nail-biter against John Bloomer and Richard Hobson. The Hamer brothers had a 11-8 lead, but their opponents fought back to tie the game at 14. It all came down to the last end, where the Hamers managed to edge out a 15-14 win. The next game was a breeze for them, as they crushed Chris Cox and John Denham by 21-5. In the final, they faced Steve Lowther and Ian Archibald, who had no chance against the Hamers’ superb bowling. The Hamers dominated the game and won by a whopping 21-3. Congratulations to the Hamers for their amazing performance!
