The last week of spring is behind us and we’re about to enter the final month of the year, but nothing seems to slow the improvement of our bowlers, with another week of outstanding results.
Tuesday afternoon social bowls showcased a brilliant performance from our little pocket rocket, Carol Crosbie, who is currently in a real purple patch with her accurate, precision bowling. She teamed up with Betty Whitehorn—also bowling with supreme confidence—and shared lead duties with Wendy Pomeroy and Mel Fennell. Together, they comfortably outplayed the rest of the field. Well done, ladies.
Wednesday afternoon social bowls, well organised by Merve Stewart, attracted a strong field of 26 bowlers. It was Ted Cullen as skipper, with Keith Bates leading and Betty Whitehorn second, who dominated with a 12-point win. All other matches were tight contests and a great afternoon was enjoyed by all.
Wednesday night Business House Bowls saw both the Battery Warehouse and PRD teams produce brilliant games, proving themselves worthy contenders as finals approach.
Friday afternoon marked the final week for the well-behaved Christian College students—featured in this week’s photo. Their improvement this season has been remarkable. Special mention goes to Pazel Davis, Elliana Langshore, Madeline Riley, Miranda Jackson, Ruby Atkins, Ocean Houlding, Tamsyn and Harmony Carus, and Olive Burke, whose talent continues to shine. We are hopeful of forming a competitive team to represent the Whitsundays next year in the Queensland Schools Competition. A big thank you to Mr Richardson, who does an exceptional job guiding his students.
Saturday morning Scroungers drew a strong field, with first-round winners Kathryn Rimmeswaal, Des Ballance, Betty Whitehorn and Dennis Donadelli progressing to the finals. Betty Whitehorn and Des Ballance met in the A-grade final, with Betty proving too strong and securing the win. The B-division title went to Maureen Barnard.
Sunday afternoon social bowls featured three tightly contested triples games, but the standout team on the day was again led by skipper Carol Crosbie, supported by a superb performance from lead Alma Rose Mawson and a strong game by Dennis Donadelli.
Congratulations to all winning teams, and a special acknowledgement to our bar manager, Fiona Greener, who continues to run everything smoothly, efficiently and without any fuss.
