If the loss to New South Wales in Wednesday’s State of Origin game wasn’t enough for us Maroons to bear, Home Hill members had to accept another win by the travelling Blues supporters, taking out the random rink win of the day. Jo Roser and Charlie Cheatam, both from Jervis Bay and currently camped at Groper Creek, were the lucky winners and, with all jokes aside, their win provided a great deal of banter in the club room, as you could imagine. Well done and congratulations.

‍

It was pleasing to see club member Tony Caruso, who has been recovering from a cancer scare, back on the field. You’re a good man, Tony, and have been sorely missed at the club. Members also extend our sincere welcome to Chris Holden, a new player introduced by fellow club member Hugh Montgomery. Chris, we trust this will not be your last visit to our club and, from all reports, you have good potential as a bowler.

Club Championships have resumed after a short break due to Pennants and Dunn Cup. Sunday, 5th July saw Wayne Newton and Tony Eadie play Sandra Darwin and Joscelyn Defranciscis, with Wayne and Tony taking out the win.

Thursday on Rink (6), Scott Taylor and Paul Vass played Trevor Elton and Judy Elton. Throughout the encounter, it was always going to be anyone’s game, with the Taylor team a step ahead in the early part. However, the tables turned in favour of the Elton team, leading by a close margin from end sixteen (17), only to see Scott Taylor and Paul Vass take the win on the last end. Congratulations go to Scott and Paul on what turned out to be a close contest.

‍

Thursday, 9th July, club members were able to say their final farewell to their previous caretaker, Warren (Yogi) Bunn, and his daughter Terese Bunn, who will be moving south to within 30 kilometres of Brisbane. We extend our best wishes to them both for the future.

‍

Wednesday night bowls were cancelled due to the State of Origin; however, they will resume on the 15th July at the usual time.

On the green, three games of triples and two games of pairs were played out, as well as the championship pairs games previously mentioned. On Rink Two, Bruce McCallum, Warren Bunn and Teresa Bunn had a win by a close margin against Joe Linton, Nev Webb and Betty Webb.

‍

On Rink Three, Alex Bojack, Dino Poli and Terry Feakes had a comfortable win over Margaret Linton, Rob Darr and Les Hoey.

Rink Four: The first of the pairs games was played between Jo Roser, Charlie Cheatam, Hugh Montgomery and Chris Holden. The winners of this game need no introduction, as previously reported.

‍

On Rink Five, Keith Roser, Katarina Stucker and Colleen Olsen had a more than convincing win over Glenn Berryman, Steve Doige and Bob Pickard. All three players demonstrated exceptional bowling skill throughout the entire game, giving their opposition no chance of a win.

‍

On Rink Seven, the second of the pairs games played out between Gary Nosworthy, Janet Arthur, Mick McCloskey and Tony Caruso, with the Nosworthy team having a sound win.

‍

To all the winning teams, and to those not so lucky, remember participation, friendship and enjoyment of the afternoon are the most important parts of the day.

‍

The weekly raffle first prize of seafood was won by Margaret Linton, with the second prize of a bottle of wine going to Dino Poli. Congratulations to you both.
