HOME HILL COMMUNITY SPORTS CLUB SPORTS REPORT 14 JUNE 2026

2026 CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLES WINNERS CELEBRATE WIN

‍

Much to the delight of the club’s Games Director Mick Olsen Home Hill club championships keep moving along steadily, which will see them finished in a satisfactory time frame thanks to the cooperation shown by all the members involved. Recently we saw the winners of the triples crowned (pictured) of Glenn Berriman, Les Hoey, and Paul Vass.

‍

Thursday afternoon saw another championship pairs game played between Nevile Ward, Betty Ward and Ron Smith and Meryl Smith with the Ward team taking out the win in a competitive encounter. The interesting fact about this game is that it was not all that long ago that Betty had not even played the game and now to her credit she enjoys it that much to  nominate to compete in the club championships which show how much the club has moved forward in bringing out the competitive spirit in our players.

‍

In the weekend just past Home Hill competed in the annual North Queensland District Pennants Division Three (3). Two teams of Four (4) played over three days in Townsville, which is quite demanding on fitness and stamina. Again, this reflects on the progress the club has made in just over Three (3) years. It is pleasing to report that both teams held their own against stiff opposition. Again, congratulations to our players involved.

‍

On Thursday 25 June 2026 Home Hill has Four (4) selected members travelling to Suburban Bowls Club Townsville to compete in the annual signature event of the year, the NQ Dunn Cup and event which extends over Four days. Interestingly this tournament was first introduced at Home Hill in the seventies by prominent Dunn family. Over time Home Hill featured as winners on as many as Four occasions during that era.

‍

On the green Thursday saw Four (4) games of triples played with Two (2) reserves on standby. On rink Three (3) Alex Bojack, Sandra Darwin and Warren Bunn took the win over Trevor Elton shared with Terry Fincs, Jo Roser, and Janet Arthur. On Rink Five (5) Keith Roser, Des Chapman, and Margaret Chapmen had a resounding win over McCloskey, Steve Doige, and Paul Vass. On Rink Six (6) Glenn Berriman, Dino Poli, and Judy Elton won in a see sawing game over Geoff Taylor, Bruce McCallum, and Margaret Linton. On Rink Seven (7) Hugh Mongomery, Gary Nosworthy, and Les Hoey had a resounding win over Joe Linton, Michael Young, and Bob Pickard. Congratulations to all the winning teams.

‍

Overall random rink winners on the day were Alex Bojack, Sandra Drwin, and Warren Bunn. Well done.

Thursday Home Hill Bingo has become so popular the club is having to look at additional tables to accommodate its patrons. Arrival at 9.00am with heads down at 9.30am.

‍

Home Hill Hot Shots Darts and Eight (8) Ball club will be running their second State of Origin raffle Friday 19 June 2026. Winners are not required to be present. Super good prizes consisting of Three (3) $50.00 meat and Two (2) $50.00 Sea Food trays plus an additional 25 secondary prizes.

After an extended spell from the game owing to medical reasons, it great to see Terry Fincs back.
