Another busy week has been had on the green at Home Hill with club competition, social bowls, and the welcoming of visitors from the Queensland Railway Institute.
Starting with local play, the semifinal of club competition was played between Trevor Elton, Mick McCloskey, Judy Elton, Meryl Smith and Bruce McCallum, Katarina Stuckler, Les Hoey, Janet Arthur, with Trevor Elton’s team taking out the win in what could have gone either way. Congratulations to the winners. The final is now set to be played between Trevor Elton’s team and Tony Eadie, Wayne Newton, J Phillips, Scott Taylor on Sunday 19 April 2026. Club members are encouraged to come along and show their support to both teams, with the match having the potential to be a strong contest. Good luck to all who are competing.
Wednesday night bowls never fail to surprise, with continued strong support and 16 players competing in two games of triples and one game of pairs. Names in by 5.30 for 6.00pm start prior to a sausage sizzle. Ph 0468313115.
Thursday afternoon club bowls saw 20 players compete, which included the semifinal game and two games of triples. With the hot weather not showing any sign of letting up, it’s great to see members’ continued support.
The main event for the week saw Home Hill have the pleasure, for the second year running, of welcoming members from the Queensland Railway Institute. Once again, the green was alive with activity and coloured club shirts. The afternoon was competitive, participativeand friendly. QRI Club President Kerry Martin gave a big thanks to Home Hill members and the ladies who prepared a wonderful afternoon tea for all to enjoy. Once again, thank you ladies. The winning club on the day was closely contested, and no mistakes this time—a draw was finally decided upon. Home Hill looks forward to welcoming QRI once again in 2027.
As a correction to last week’s publication regarding the Easter Fours Tournament, the report incorrectly named the Will Johnson team of St Townsville as the winners. The honours should have gone to Jamie Woods’ team of Brandon, with second place awarded to Sandie from St Townsville, and third to Will Johnson from St Townsville. Apologies are forwarded for the error.
