Another warm afternoon greeted players at Homehill Bowls Club, and it’s still only spring! Twenty-five players took to the greens, including two very important competitors, Wayne Newton and Alex Bojack, finalists in the club singles. Alas for Alex, Wayne prevailed on the day and is our 2025 Singles Champion (pictured: Alex congratulating Wayne). The final was played on Rink 3.
On Rink 4, Michael Young, Elaine Young, and Hugh Montgomery narrowly defeated Judy Elton, Nev Webb, and Mick McClosky. Rink 5 saw Paul Vass, Dino Poli, and Steve Doig record a big win over Bob Young, Ron Smith, and new Skip Margaret Linton – don’t despair, Margaret, it doesn’t get easier! Rink 6 produced another very close match, with Bruce McCallum, Rob Garner, and Jeff Taylor edging out Yogi Bunn, Margaret Chapman, and Joe Linton. The winning rink of the day was Rink 7, where Betty Webb and Glen Bones Berryman (pictured) accounted for Bob Pickard and Mary Poli.

The AGM is fast approaching and nomination forms are available at the bar. During these hotter days, players are reminded to stay hydrated and, if feeling wobbly or unwell, to rest in the cool, air-conditioned bar area.
Until next week, good bowling!
