It’s been another exciting week at our little club in paradise, with plenty of action both on and off the green.
Tuesday afternoon social bowls, brilliantly organised by Wendy Pomeroy, saw 18 bowlers in play. The biggest winning margin went to skipper Barry Wise, who has settled into the club like a duck to water since joining us from Tasmania. With lead Eric Barnard and his wife Maureen, they were easily the standout team on the green.
Wednesday afternoon social bowls, under the watchful eye of Merve Stewart, attracted 20 bowlers. The day’s honours went to Gary Smith and Bobby Spees, who dominated their match with an impressive winning margin.
Wednesday night’s Business House Bowls under the lights saw more than 30 bowlers take to the greens, with Rock Plumbing proving they’re still a force to be reckoned with.
On Friday morning, the Endeavour Foundation participants continued to improve their skills, with Jett taking out the day’s honours and Kiara bowling well for the ladies. Later that afternoon, 21 Christian College students hit the greens for their weekly lessons. Several of the newcomers — Patel, Brooke, and the Caris sisters — showed real promise in mastering the art of lawn bowls.
Saturday morning Scroungers saw first-round winners Margo Stanley, Kathryn Remmeswaal, Barry Wise, and Mark Mawson battle it out for the prize. Margo Stanley claimed victory on the final end when the jack rolled her way, while Betty Whitehorn won the B Grade final.
Sunday social bowls drew 17 players, with Betty Nicole, fresh from her holiday in Greece, leading her team of Keith Bates and Alan Pershouse to a commanding win.
Meanwhile, at Seaforth Bowls Club, the Champion of Champions Two-Bowl Triples were contested, with our outstanding team of Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson, and John Fielding at lead continuing their remarkable form. After winning the club championship for the sixth year in a row, they defeated West Tigers 30–18, Pioneer Valley 32–24, and South Suburban 29–21 before downing Seaforth 33–10 in the final — an awesome display of precision and teamwork.
In Bowen, the Fours Championship was also claimed by another brilliant team effort, with skipper Shane Spann, third Joan McGrath, second Vicki Spann, and lead Ash Warland combining superbly.
It just goes to show that while we may be a small club, we boast tremendous quality and a big heart.
