It’s been another fantastic week at our club, kicking off with the Ladies-only “Spring Fling” Carnival on Tuesday. Eleven teams from Airlie Beach, South Suburban, North Mackay, West Tigers, Mackay City, and Northern Beaches Bowls Clubs competed. Third place went to Joan McGrath’s ABBC team, second to North Mackay skippered by Helen Fleming, and the day’s big winners were Northern Beaches, led by Gail Pudney. Prizes were also awarded for the day’s biggest winners and two lucky door draws.
Wednesday Social Bowls saw 18 bowlers in action, with Ted Cullen’s team claiming the win, supported by Barry Wainwright at lead and Alan Pershouse at second.
Friday welcomed the Endeavour Foundation team for bowling lessons. Special mention to Michael, Jett, John, Kathy, Kiara, Dion, Alison, and Amy for their progress under Julie, Paola, and Betty Whitehorn’s guidance.
Saturday’s scroungers were won by Tony Whitehorn, with Kathryn Remmeswaal claiming the B Division championship for the second time. The B Grade Fours final saw Noel Crosbie’s team, including Rick Brunell, Arthur McManus, and Steve Lawrie, defeat defending champions Mervyn Stewart’s team.
Sunday Social Bowls featured 17 bowlers, with Tony Whitehorn’s team the biggest winners, and the lowest winning margin prize going to Michael Jacometti’s team, including Dawn Dowell and Mandy O’Brien.
This weekend, the Men’s Division Big Carnival, the Classic Fours, kicks off with $12,000 prize money and players from across Queensland, including legends Brett Wilkie, Nathan Rice, and Sean Ingham.
Congratulations also to Bob McMahon, who reached the final of the Champion of Champions Senior Singles in Mackay, narrowly losing 25-17 to last year’s winner. The club is very proud of his achievement.
