Christmas will be here before we know it, but that hasn’t stopped the improvement in lawn bowls we’ve been experiencing lately.
There was no Ladies’ bowls on Tuesday as the girls held their Christmas party with great enjoyment.
Wednesday afternoon social bowls, brilliantly organised by our lovable Irishman Merve Stewart, saw 18 bowlers vying for the prize. Surprisingly, it was skipper Andrew Butler, lead David Meiklejohn and second Glen O'Brien who easily beat the rest of the field by 13 points. Well done, boys!!
Wednesday night Business House Bowls played their semifinals, and with the competition still wide open, any team can win. This week is the final round before the Christmas break, and all are invited to come along for the last games.
Friday saw the Endeavour Group return, and Michael bowled brilliantly for a well-deserved victory. Special mention must also go to Jett and Cathy, who proved they would not be out of place participating in the Queensland Disability Championship Games representing the Whitsundays.
Saturday morning Scroungers saw plenty of excitement. First-round winners were Mervyn Stewart, Betty Whitehorn, Greg Fennell and John Askew. Mervyn Stewart continued his brilliant form with a fantastic victory in the A Division, whilst Mark Mawson defeated Margo Stanley to win the B Division final.
Sunday afternoon social bowls saw 20 bowlers competing, and in a strong performance, Betty Whitehorn at lead and Glen O’Brien as skipper topped the field with 19 points.
