It’s been another big week at the Ayr Bowling Club. The highlight was our men travelling to Bowen for the North Queensland Purple Pennants.
Our team went into the final day of play with four match wins—equal top with Bowen—putting them in a strong position. Ayr faced Bowen first up, who went on to win the Purple Pennants, and unfortunately we couldn’t secure the win.
In our last game against Giru, we notched another match win, bringing our total to five for the weekend and placing Ayr second overall—Runners Up. This was a fantastic result for our club, and the playing group had a strong campaign against some quality sides.
Earlier in the week, Tuesday Ladies’ Social Bowls featured two games of triples. Winners on the day were Karen Shepherd, Donna Soper, and Irene Wilson, who defeated Meryl Smith, Beryl Cornford, and Heather Jorgensen. Runners-up were Katharina Stuckler, Rayleen Hervey, and Pam Power, who defeated Isabel Cislowski, Linda Giumelli, and Mary Poli.
On Wednesday, Men’s Social Bowls saw three games of triples and one pairs match played. Competition was close out on the green. Taking out the honours on the day were Arthur Gauvin, Peter Sauer, and Lew Stisdton, who defeated Barry Hewson, Helena Sauer, and Ron Soper. It was a great afternoon of camaraderie and quality bowls, enjoyed by all.
In Championship action, the Ladies’ Competition Open Pairs Final will be played on Thursday, June 5th at 3:30pm. It will be Beryl Cornford and Pam Power taking on Lorraine Wolffe and Irene Wilson.
