The ladies played round one of the fours championships on Tuesday at Airlie Beach Bowls Club this week.

Bev Taylor defeated Juanita Matterson in a B singles game.
The social games winner on Tuesday was Maureen Barnard, Henny Tattam, and Russ Jackson who defeated Pam Collins, John Brown, and Tony Whitehorn.
Men’s singles have started and results are in: Bob Spees, showing exceptional form, winning against Neil Moore.
John Trembath came from behind to defeat Rick Galea in a nail-biting game, 25-24, and Nik Fernbach defeated Russ Jackson in another very close game 25-22.
One game that didn’t go ahead as scheduled was Bill Gordon versus Noel Crosbie; Bill has damaged both legs in an accident and will not be playing bowls for a while. All members wish Bill a speedy recovery.
Wednesday social day this week all the games played were pairs. Nik Fernbach and Henny Tattam won the day with the largest winning margin. One of the very close games was won by John Askew and David Meiklejohn against Col Morris and Mario DeMartini. Members were delighted to have good friend Graeme Herd visit from Atherton.
