Thompson, Roser and Newton Go Back-to-Back at Home Hill

Another perfect winter’s afternoon saw 28 players take to the green on 10 July, with a top temperature of 25 degrees.

Today’s winning team was Jo Roser, Wayne Newton, and Jeannie Thompson (pictured), who backed up for a second consecutive win. A singles game was played on Rink 3, though no details were received.

On Rink 1, Henry Hazel and Steve Doig blitzed Bruce McCullen and Phil Marsden, 30–8.
Rink 2 saw Maureen Marsden and Alex Bojack edge out Judy Elton and Hugh Montgomery in a close one, 21–18.
On Rink 4, Jos DeFranciscius, Elaine Young and Keith Roser proved too strong for Michael Young, Mick Murison and Bones Berryman, winning 33–14.
Rink 5 had Paul Vass, Margaret Linton and Col Ceating defeating Bob Young, Dino Poli and Yogi Bunn, 17–9.
No results were received from Rink 6.
Rink 7 saw Jeannie Thompson, Jo Roser and Wayne Newton come out on top over Des Chapman, Ron Smith and Trevor Elton, with Jeannie peppering the kitty all game.

In the raffle, a prawn tray was up for grabs and Des Chapman went home with the goods. Jo Roser claimed second prize — a bottle of wine.

The Monday morning fitness group and Tuesday Trimmers sessions are still going strong. The Wednesday morning Kraft group and Wednesday night bowls also continue to be well attended, while Thursday morning bingo and Thursday afternoon social bowls are attracting solid numbers.

Names for bowls should be in by 1pm (or earlier if possible) to help with the draw. Saturday afternoon bowls is also on, and still only $5 per game.

Good bowling until next week.
