Airlie Beach Bowls Club Weekly News 19 December

This year has flown by! December is here, Christmas is just around the corner, and we’ve been lucky enough to tell Santa that all our bowlers have been good. The standard of bowls at our club has steadily improved throughout the year.

Tuesday afternoon’s Social Bowls saw Tony “Take the Money” Whitehorn, with his wonderful wife Betty, our club’s Bowler of the Year for 2025, take home the prize with an outstanding victory.

Wednesday afternoon Social Bowls featured 16 bowlers competing for first prize. Stand-in skipper Mark Mawson led his team to a fantastic 15-point win, with an outstanding performance from lead Rick Brunell and second, new bowler Rene, who was faultless in a great team effort. Well done, boys!

Wednesday night hosted the final of Business House Bowls, a fantastic night of competition. The winning team was CES Electrical. Second place went to Blue Science, and third place to Rock Plumbing. Business House Bowls will resume on Wednesday, 28th January, and all are welcome.

Saturday morning saw the last games of Scroungers for the year, resuming in January. First-round winners were Margo Stanley, Dennis Donadelli, Greg Fennell, and new bowler Alma Rose Mawson, who has amazed everyone with her controlled performances in such a short time. Margo Stanley won the A Division, while Tony Whitehorn won the B Division.

Sunday afternoon Social Bowls saw 20 bowlers competing for the prize. The winning team was led by skipper Andy McDougall, with lead Sandra Argo and second Mark Mawson.

Details of the presentation will be published next week.
