3 Interstate challenge no hurdle for Double Bay s singles star TO win the Inaugural Australian Maccabi Lawn Bowls Singles Championship and continue his twoyear successful singles record, Jack Kampel was faced with interstate champions, Gary Benveniste (SA), Martin Brumer (WA) and Terry Silberer who, as runner-up in the Victorian final replaced, the unavailable winner, Michael Yelland. Kampel went through five rounds to qualify for the Australian Maccabi finals and the three match championship round robin games to continue his remarkable unbroken singles results since He is Double Bay s 2010 Major Singles title-holder. He won the event in 2009 along with the Handicap Singles. Currently, he is in the quarter-finals of the unfinished 2010 Handicap Singles tournament. Kampel, a former South African squash champion, took up lawn bowls in Following injuries he received at the 1997 Maccabiah Bridge disaster in Israel, when he represented Australia in Squash, he gave up squash to concentrate on lawn bowls. In all, Kampel has now won 10 Major or District Singles tournaments. To take the Australian Maccabi event Kampel defeated Silberer two-sets to nil, then was forced into a three-end tie-break to take full points from Benveniste. He then needed a win over Brumer to head the round robin tally with six points. Kampel had to produce some of his best bowling against Brumer. Going into the last end of the first set Kampel was one behind on the scoreboard, but was holding two shots with each having a bowl to play. Brumer drew shot with his last bowl, while Kampel missed his attempted drive to lose the set by two shots. This meant that if Kampel lost the second set Gary Benveniste could win the title with two wins and a better shot difference. However, Kampel took the second set by two shots. He applied pressure to grab the title by taking the first two ends of the tie-break. PRIZE MONEY The Australia-wide tournament was devised and organised by NSW Maccabi Lawn Bowls Guild headed by its president, Harry Stein. A $1400 prize purse was sponsored by the Bowls Guild, with the Australian champion taking $600, runner-up $350 (Gary Benveniste), third placed $250 (Martin Brumer) and fourth (Terry Silberer) $200. RESULTS Round 1: Gary Benveniste (SA) d Martin Brumer (WA) 2-0 (12-6, 11-3), Jack Kampel (NSW) d Terry Silberer (Vic) 2-0 (11-2, 11-4); Round 2: J Kampel d G Benveniste 2-1 (8-7, 6-7, 2-1), M.

4 Small turn out in Turn-of-the-Year DOUBLE Bay s customary large participation in the 2010 Zone 11 Turnof-the Year tournament was limited by players commitment to compete in the Maccabi Australia International Games (MAIGS) hosted by the club. Brothers Ray and Harold Jankelowitz headed the club s entry into the prestigious Turn-of-the-Year, with Ray taking a section win in the singles and teaming with Harold to advance to the quarter-final in the pairs. Double Bay s other pairs entry was Sam Abrahams and Ken Shapiro. Ray Jankelowitz, after three wins to take Section 6 singles honour, came up against Joe Twiss, from the Cronulla RSL Club, in the quarter-final where he led for most of the match, but couldn t take advantage and exited Harold (left) and Ray Jankelowitz In the pairs, the brothers won the Section 8 round robin at Eastlakes taking out two composite teams and one from Hunters Hill. In the Post Sectional competition at South Coogee, they scored a first round win over the top pair from Section 1, but exited the tournament at the quarterfinal stage when they succumbed to the eventual winners headed by Peter McDonald, from Kensington. Wednesday teams embargo on substituting visitors VISITING bowlers will no longer be able to substitute for teams in Double Bay s popular Wednesday Triples competition when club members are available to play, club president, Eddie Fingret, told the membership last week. Fingret said that with 28 teams competing in the competition there will be a bye in each of the two divisions and substitutes for unavailable players will be allocated by the bowls committee from the list of members from teams which have the byes. In previous Wednesday competitions many skips invited players from local clubs to substitute for team members unavailable for one or more weeks. The embargo does not prevent other club lawn bowlers from seeking a game at Double Bay on its two men s bowling days (Monday and Wednesday). We will arrange a social game for a visitor who will be teamed with players from the bye teams and other Double Bay players not involved in competition matches that day, Fingret said.
