The team of Skipper Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson and John Fielding played against Mackay Bowls club on Saturday morning, winning 31-16.

The Saturday Morning Scroungers, run by John Askew saw Dennis Donadelli win the A division in the third round with Tony Whitehorn taking home the B division prize.  

It was a busy Sunday afternoon, with 3 competitive games of triples and the arrival of new club manager Kate Clark, who showed her wonderful organisation skills.

As the afternoon came, it was decided by officials that although 2 teams drew,  the team with the highest score would be pronounced as the winner. The winner was Skipper and Mens President Bob McMahon showed all of his skills alongside Rick Galea and Mark Mawson.
