Home Hill Bowls Club Report 11 July

A total of 28 players turned up for another perfect winter’s afternoon of bowls, with a top temperature of 24 degrees. A warm welcome to our visitors: Cisco from Ayr; Keith and Jo Roser, and Charlie Cheetham from St Georges Basin; and Jeanie Thompson and Col Ceating from Ulladulla, NSW.

A big thank you to today’s sponsor: ALLRIG Townsville.

Five games were played — four games of triples and one of pairs — with plenty of friendly competition across the rinks.

Today’s winners, on Rink 3, were Steve Doig, Jeanie Thompson, and Gary Nosworthy (pictured).

Match Results:
Rink 3: Gary Nosworthy, Jeanie Thompson, and Steve Doig proved too strong for Margaret Chapman, Joe Linton, and Wayne Newton, winning 22–18.
