YMGCR BOWLS CLUB
Wednesday Social Bowls.
A creditable field of 32 players enjoyed the warm early spring weather last Wednesday the 4th of September. Both greens were in play and games were played utilising the east / west orientation. The new game format was on display, one game of 22 ends of nominated 3 bowl pairs, which is proving very popular with bowlers.
First prize of $120.00 went to Vicki and Colin Withers. The winner’s runners up prize, of $60.00 went to the team of Andy Lefevre and Greg Green. The consolation prize, of $30.00 went to the pairing of Don Tipping and Noel Millar. Rounding out a successful day, on the prize money front, was Vicki Withers, who won the first lucky number prize of $20.00. The $10.00 second lucky number prize went to Chris Horne.
Friday Social Bowls.
The almost summertime temperature of 29 degrees gave the 32 players who shouldered arms for last Friday’s Social Bowls an early taste of mid-season pennant weather. The greens ran well, and players enjoyed the pace that both greens were running. First prize went to the team of Greg Green and Andy Lefevre. Second place went to the combo of Mick Reilly and Lynne Baxter, who are making a habit of featuring in the prize money. The losing rink consolation prize went to the Yarrawonga Bowling Club side of Les Spencer and Mick Crawford. The first lucky number prize of a drink card, and $20.00 went to Julian Jones. The second lucky number prize went to Marie Morffew.
