It was another action-packed week on the green for Wangaratta Bowls Club, with strong turnouts across all competitions.
Monday’s triples winners were Eileen Dunn, John F., and Geof Col, who defeated Grant Ingh, Bob Lindsay, and Leon Fox. Runners-up were Dave Richard, Bob Agg, and Denis Madeley, who overcame Buff Graham and Kennedy. The jackpot remained unclaimed.
On Tuesday, the club hosted a full green for President Margaret’s Day, proudly sponsored by Tropical Beach Caravan Park. The morning’s bowls were followed by lunch and a cent sale. Special guests included North Queensland President Lyn and three visiting ladies from Townsville, along with players from Airlie Beach, Ayr, Brandon, and Thuringowa. Afternoon winners were Allan Gillies, Lyn Sara, and Robyn Stitt, defeating Gail Simms, Beryl Cornford, and Heather Jorgensen. Second place went to Carol Bellingham, Sandra Stitson, Helen, and Pam Power, while third place was claimed by June Paynting, Louise S./Collins, and Fely Duncan. The jackpot again didn’t go off.
Fun Friday winners were Owen, Heather, and Allan, who beat Mary, Judy, and Julie. Runners-up were Carole, Ed, and Grant, defeating Barbara, Tom, and Graham. The evening was capped off with a sausage sizzle and barefoot bowls.
Sunday’s full-green afternoon, sponsored by Life Members Pat and Neil Tracey, featured another great turnout. Pat’s famous soup was enjoyed after play. Winners were Sue Symmons, Shirley Jones, Daryl McStravick, and John Hallas, defeating D. Hallas, J. McStravick, B. Thompson, and Jim Quod. Runners-up were Carole Bellingham, Jan Harvey, Ron Bosma, and Joe Paynting, who beat Karen, Pam, Alan Gillies, and Dave Madden.
The jackpot remained elusive.
