Thursday afternoon club bowls continues to attract strong playing numbers, with thanks extended to visitors from across the Burdekin clubs for their support.
On the green, a total of 28 players, including one reserve, competed in two games of triples, one game of rinks and the first round of the club championship mixed fours.
The highlight of the day was the mixed fours on rink 5, where Mick Olsen, Michael Young, Joslyn Defranciscis and Bob Young faced Hugh Montgomery, Joe Lynton, Des Chapman and Margaret Lynton. Hugh Montgomery’s team appeared to have the upper hand early before scores were locked at 13-all, proving the turning point. Scores remained close to the final end, with Mick Olsen’s team leading 18–14. Despite Hugh Montgomery’s team winning the last end by two, it was not enough, with Olsen’s team taking the match 18–16. The game was played in good competitive spirit, with congratulations to the winners as they move to the next round.
On rink 4, Mick McCloskey, Robert Darr and Margaret Chapman defeated Glenn Berriman, Vince Beatia and Les Hoey, with Chapman continuing to impress as lead, consistently bowling close to the jack.
On rink 6, Cisco, Trevor Elton and Bob Pickard recorded a convincing win over Wayne Newton, Judy Elton and Sandra Darwin, with Judy Elton contributing strongly despite the result.
The fours match on rink 7 saw Bruce McCallum, Nev Webb, Scott Taylor and Paul Vass edge out Gary Nosworthy, Ron Smith, Betty Webb and Janet Arthur in a closely contested game.
Wednesday night bowls remains popular, with three games of triples played prior to a sausage sizzle. Community members are encouraged to come along and experience the enjoyment on offer.
Saturday afternoon social play also continues to draw good numbers, providing an opportunity for working community members to participate. Those interested can contact the club on 0478 642 515.
The weekly seafood raffle was won by Joe Lynton, with second prize, a bottle of wine, going to Judy Elton.
