It’s been a fantastic week of fun and fierce competition at Ayr Bowling Club! The greens have been buzzing with energy as members threw themselves into both social games and championship matches. With the championship season in full swing, the talent and sportsmanship on display have been nothing short of impressive.
Social Ladies’ bowls continued Tuesday with a good turn up, giving us two rinks’ games. Winners were Meryl Smith, Karen Page, Heather Jorgensen and Irene Wilson defeating Merle Nixon, Rayleen Hervey, Beryl Cornford and Pam Power. Runners up were Donna Soper, Linda Giumelli, Ron Soper and Dot Cutting defeating Karen Shepherd, Katarina Stuckler, Sandra Stidston and Mary Poli.
Ayr Bowling Club celebrated a special day on Friday, 25th April, hosting a memorable bowls afternoon in honour of Anzac Day. The turnout was fantastic, with every rink in use, showcasing six games of triples and one game of pairs. The afternoon began with a moving minute’s silence to pay tribute to the brave service men and women who gave their lives for our country. It was a wonderful day of camaraderie and competition, with the winners being Lorraine Wolffe, Marion Nicholson, and Wendy Jones. Runners-up on the day were Kate Leverton, Linda Scells, and Wayne Coonan.
In Championship games this week, the Men had two games of the A Singles. In a very tightly contested game, Lew Stidston defeated Maurie Power 25 – 23. In the other game, also a cliffhanger, Barry Shepherd defeated Wayne Coonan 25 – 24. Both Lew and Barry now progressed to the next round of the A Singles.
If you are interested in giving Bowls a try, Friday Roll Ups are a good place to start. They are held every Friday afternoon from 3:00 - 5:30pm. Whether you're looking to hone your skills, enjoy some friendly training tips, or simply unwind with a drink, these casual roll-ups are the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Come down for some training, enjoy a few drinks, and join in the fun with fellow club members.
You are also very welcome to come and play in our Friday Fun Nights. The next one will be on Friday 9th May, starting at 6 PM. This evening promises fun for bowlers of all levels, encouraging participants to bring friends or join solo to meet new people. The entry fee is $10 per game, which includes a sausage sizzle at 6 PM and a light supper after bowling begins at 7 PM. Get some friends together and come and have an evening of fun and laughter.
