The first annual Wilmar Challenge Trophy was held on 21st September at the Rummeny Green Home Hill Bowls Club. Four Burdekin clubs entered three teams of four players each. The event was officially opened by Burdekin Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort – thank you, Pierina.
After a full day’s play, Brandon came out on top with three wins and will host next year’s event. The hosts, Homehill, finished second with two wins, Ayr third with one win, followed by Giru. Thanks to Nathaniel from Wilmar Sugar for presenting the trophy. A huge thanks to the ladies in the kitchen for a sumptuous feast, and the bar staff for keeping everyone hydrated on a very warm spring day. Hopefully, the Wilmar Challenge will become a wonderful addition to the bowling calendar.
On another warm spring afternoon, a smaller field of 23 players competed. On Rink 3, Henry Hazel, Terry Feakes, Ron Smith, and Glen Bones Berryman (today’s winners pictured, minus Henry who left early) defeated Paul Vass, Elaine Young, and Jeff Taylor. On Rink 4, Des Chapman, visitor Wayne Coonan, and Steve Doig overcame Judy Elton, Sandra Darwin, and Bruce McCallum. Rink 5 saw Gary Nosworthy, Dino Poli, and Tony Eadie win over Michael Young, Steve Muto, and Joe Linton, while Rink 6 had Margaret Chapman and Mick McClosky outlast Meryl Smith and Trevor Elton.
Regular weekly activities continue with Monday morning fitness, Tuesday Trimmers and Funday, Wednesday morning Kraft group and Wednesday night barefoot bowls with sausage sizzle, Thursday morning BINGO and afternoon social bowls, and Saturday afternoon social bowls returning this weekend. Monday mornings at 10 am are also set aside for coffee and a chat for anyone interested.
Until next week – good bowling!
