Wednesday Social Bowls Report.
Last Wednesday the 27th of May saw another solid turnout of 48 players participating. Games were played in the North South orientation across both greens. Norm Windebank and Tony Durkin have been on a winning streak over the last few weeks, and Wednesday was a case of situation normal for the lads when they again scooped up the first prize of $100.00 and a drink card each. This week’s runners up were the team of Lynne Baxter and Ray Brown who shared $80.00. The losing rink consolation prize of $50.00 was shared by the combo of Chris Morrissy and Vin Slattery. This week’s first prize of $20.00 in the Lucky Number raffle went to Noel Smith. The second Lucky Number raffle prize was won by Mick Reilly who claimed $15.00. Although playing numbers have been strong there is always room for a few more sides. The format of nominated 3 bowl pairs gives both the leads and the skips plenty of opportunity to show their wares. The prize money is great, and if you miss out on winning some money via your efforts on the greens there is always a second chance at some cash with the Lucky Number raffles. Visitors and single entries are most welcome to play. Single entries and visitors please include a contact telephone number when placing your names on the entry sheets at the Bowls Office.
