GOLDEN TOUCH AT GOOSIES

Last Friday was a great day for Rob Evans and Peter Horsburgh who teamed up for the pairs competition. Firstly, their card was drawn for the kitty toucher. Rob bowled first and sat on the kitty, giving them a win of $500 and that gave Peter a chance for another $500. His bowl also sat on the kitty, giving the boys $1,000; the first time at our club that two bowlers had touched the kitty.

As well, they had the best score of the day, giving them an extra $150. Congratulations go to Rob and Peter.

Tony’s Triples will be held this year for North Mackay bowlers only, on Tuesday 19th April, with $600 prize money. Watch the notice board for nomination sheets.
