YMGCR BOWLS CLUB
Wednesday Social Bowls.
Cool weather greeted the 24 bowlers who participated on Wednesday the 16th of August. All games were played on the west green and the format was the traditional pairs game of 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 over two games of 10 ends. Given the additional time it takes to complete the traditional pairs game proceedings commenced at 12.00 pm rather than the usual 12.30 pm. The winners were Ian Price (S) and Digger Smith (L) with two wins and plus 17 shots. Runners up were the team of Garry Hart (S) and Vicki Withers (L). In equal third place were the combo of Allan Goudge (S) and Doug McTier (L) with two wins and plus 5 shots. Sharing the dead heat for third place were the pairing of Anne Miles (S) and Sue Evans (L) with two wins and plus 5 shots. The lucky number prizes were won by Robyn Forge and Bill Butterworth. The rolling jackpot of $200. 00 was won by the team of Tony Durkin and Noel Millar. Now that the jackpot has been claimed the jackpot resets for next week’s game. The weather forecast for this coming Wednesday is promising, so make sure you place your name on the list for a great day’s bowling.
Friday Social Bowls.
48 players encountered changeable weather on Friday the 18th of August. Games were played on both the west and east greens. When the sun peeped out from behind the clouds the day was very pleasant, despite the biting wind. When clouds made their presence felt it was very chilly. The first-place prize was filled by the team of Rod Jones and Jimmy LeFevre. Winners’ runners up were the combo of Greg Green and Julian Jones. The lucky losing rink prize went to Caroline Boston and Rob Martin. Drink cards were won by Norm Windebank and Barb Tennyson. Friday Social is proving very popular, particularly with bowlers from surrounding clubs, so make sure you get your sides entered early in the week to avoid missing out!
