Exciting Triples Action on the Home Hill Greens

Twenty players attended, with eighteen taking to the greens across three rinks of Triples.

Rink 4: Yogi Bunn, Ron Smith, and Hugh Montgomery battled closely against Bob Young, Sandra Darwin, and Glen Bones Berryman.

Rink 5: Paul Vass, Gary Nosworthy, and Joe Linton, today’s winning team, comfortably defeated Michael Young, Trevor Elton, and Steve Doig. Rumour has it that Joe Linton’s team was touched by a fairy, as luck seemed to follow them all day.

Rink 6: An on-fire Margaret Chapman, Bruce McCallum, and Wayne Newton defeated Margaret Linton—also bowling strongly—alongside Dino Poli and Tony Eadie.

The day’s raffle featured a crumbed seafood tray, enthusiastically won by Gary Nosworthy, while a bottle of wine went home with Bruce McCallum.

As usual, the club hosts a variety of activities throughout the week: Monday morning fitness, Tuesday Trimmers with Tuesday Funday (a come-and-learn event to meet new friends), Wednesday Kraft group, Wednesday evening barefoot bowls with Ron’s world-famous sausage sizzle, Thursday morning BINGO, Thursday social bowls (names in by 1pm to assist with the draw), and Saturday afternoon $5 social bowls, which continues to draw a crowd.

Until next week, good bowling!
