Home Hill Bowlers Keep Competition Rolling

Last week Home Hill Bowls Club had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from Giru President Ian O’Connell and Vicki O’Connell.

On the green, despite difficult times, members continue to show their commitment and support to the club, with playing numbers remaining solid in spite of the hot and humid conditions.

Wednesday night social bowls, including a sausage sizzle prior to play, saw 24 players turn up to enjoy a night of social interaction. New players are always welcome to come along and enjoy the experience.

Thursday afternoon club bowls attracted 24 players plus two reserves competing in four games of triples. In rink four, Phill Marsden, Mick Olsen and Les Hoey came up trumps over Geoff Taylor, Robert Darr and Vicki O’Connell. Mick Olsen has definitely not lost his touch on the green after a long playing absence.

Rink five saw Glenn Berriman, Cisco and Sandra Darwin take the honours in what turned out to be anyone’s game. In rink six, Trevor Elton, Ron Smith and Scott Taylor had a convincing win over Ian O’Connell, Bob Pickard and Maureen Marsden. Overall it was a good team effort.

Rink seven saw Hugh Montgomery, Bruce McCallum and Warren Bunn record a convincing win over Wayne Newton, Gary Norsworthy and Janet Arthur. Janet continues to display her commitment and dedication to the sport, along with a strong competitive attitude.

Rink winners on the day were Hugh Montgomery, Bruce McCallum and Warren Bunn. The lucky raffle draw went to Des Chapman, with the second prize of a bottle of wine going to Phil and Maureen Marsden.

Saturday social bowls saw three games of triples enjoyed by members who were able to participate, with a good time had by all.

Home Hill will also be represented by three teams at the Wilmar Challenge at Brandon on March 21, with young guns Scott Taylor and Austin Davenport set to compete in their first competitive tournament.
