Wednesday Social Bowls.
The much anticipated, and welcome, cooler weather is seeing a slight upswing in numbers playing Wednesday Social with a field of 28 players enjoying last Wednesday’s milder weather. First prize of $100.00 and a drink card each was shared by Greg Fisher and Les Wilson. Second prize of $60.00 was shared by Bill Hidson and Bob Brokenshire. The Losing Rink Consolation Prize, of $40.00 was won by Neville Coleman and Taffy Oughton. The first Lucky Number prize of $20.00 was won by Sue Evans, and the second Lucky Number prize of $10.00 was won by Kurt Bleckwehl. Just a reminder that single entries and visitors to Yarrawonga / Mulwala are welcome to play. Visitors and single entries please include a contact telephone number when placing your names on the entry sheets located on the Bowls Office notice board.

The second week of Friday Social Bowls saw a good field turn out last Friday and the players enjoyed the fine weather and greens which were running well. The winners of First Prize were the combo of Noel Millar and Bill Hidson who shared $100.00. The Runners Up prize went to the pairing of Ross Lloyd and Rob Lyle, who shared $80.00. The Losing Rink Consolation prize went to the team of Peter Verlardo and Mick Crawford, who shared $60.00. The Lucky Number raffle prize of $15.00 and a drink card went to Wayne Lowrie, and the second Lucky Number prize of $15.00 and a drink card went to Ray Irvine.
Tuesday Autumn Barefoot Social Bowls.
Many of the bowlers who participated in the just completed, and very successful Tuesday Charity Barefoot Challenge, wanted to maintain the momentum and good times. This has led to a Tuesday Evening Autumn Barefoot Bowls Competition, which will continue through the Autumn, while the weather remains fine. The concept isn’t that different from the Charity Challenge, however, this time the prize money goes into the pockets of those players who win each Tuesday evening. The Tuesday Challenge is an ideal format for participating novice bowlers to play with, and get to know, some of YMGCR’s established bowlers. So, we’d encourage YMGCR bowlers to place their names on the entry sheets for Tuesday’s game, located on the Bowls Office notice board. Next week we will provide a report of the action from this Tuesday’s game. Until next week, good bowling.
