YMGCR BOWLS CLUB
Wednesday Social Bowls.
Wednesday the 3rd of April saw a solid turnout of 28 bowlers for the usual format of 3 bowl pairs played over 2 games of 12 ends. Games were played on both the west and east greens which were running well. Winners on the day were the team of Chris Horne (S) and Keith Eade (L) who won both games with a plus 20 shot score. The runners up, Greg Green (S), and Bill Jenkins (L), also won both games with a plus 20 shot score and on a countback just failed to pip the winners. Third place went to the combo of Gary Lovell (S), and Lynne Baxter (L), with two games won and a score of plus 13 shots. The Lucky Numbers were won by Mick Reilly and Norm Windebank. The Rolling Jackpot was won and went to the team of Colin Withers, and a visitor, Fred Donaldson, so the Jackpot resets to $20.00 for next week’s game.
