Colour On The Green At Goosies

Last Wednesday, ladies combined with men for a very successful Australia Day of bowls played at Goosies. We had two games of triples on eight rinks, with a break for lunch of pies, sausage rolls and lamingtons kindly supplied by Peter Grant of Bushman’s Bread. Thank you, Peter. There were also several raffles with a bottle of scotch donated by an anonymous donor. Thank you also. There were prizes for best dressed man and lady, won by Bert Hobbs and Betty Mulhall.

Winners on the day was the team of Jenny Grech, Maryann Bartolo, and John Priest.  In second spot was the team of Bert Hobbs, Lorna Forrest, and Greg McLean. A third prize was given to Peter Crawford, Jan Little and Tony Allsop.

Social Results

Monday winners were Don Agnew and Graham Moore followed by new member, Lance Edwards, and Wayne Trannore.

Thursday winners were Barry Lehmann and Marg Fogg, followed by Carmel Bell and Greg McLean. The kitty toucher was not won, so jackpots.

Friday comp was taken out by Fred King and Rob Evans who won $200. The runners up were Donna Gordon and Coral Francis who won $100. Bert Hobbs missed the kitty toucher but was very close.

Saturday men only comp was won by Peter Cowling and Ian McDonald, playing with his new bowls after one of his well- used old set broke in two. In second place was Ian Gordon and Ken Lane.
