Celly Jeal, Stuart Jeal and Pat Tracey booked their place in Wangaratta Bowls’ mixed triples final with a semi-final victory on Sunday morning.
The trio defeated Jocelyn Defranciscis, Linda Scells and Graeme Read in the competition’s last semi-final. The final will be arranged over the coming weeks.
Tuesday’s social bowls honours went to Terri Merritt and Deb Retchless, who defeated Neale Chittenden and Gavin Charles. Skin Querro and Kevin Jewell also recorded a win over Alby Vigar and Laurie Land. The jackpot remained unclaimed.
Saturday’s Come and Try afternoon rewarded those who braved the weather, with conditions clearing for an enjoyable introduction to lawn bowls. Anyone who missed out can contact the club to arrange individual or group lessons.
Sunday’s winners were drawn from Rink 4, with Toni Bowen, Deb Retchless and Penny Warren defeating Lindy Suann, Isobel Wheeler and Gavin Charles.
Elsewhere, Bill Myers, Danny Lee and Greg Colquhoun beat Teresa Willshire, Laurie Land and Graeme Read, while Neale Chittenden, C Lee and Alby Vigar defeated Shirley Jones, Skin Querro and Kevin Jewell. Again, the jackpot did not go off.
The club will host the Merle Elphinstone Memorial social bowls afternoon with Merle’s family this Saturday at 4pm. Names must be submitted by 3.30pm, with players invited to enjoy an afternoon on the green.
From Sunday 8th November, Sunday social bowls will begin at 2pm, with names required by 1.30pm ahead of the new starting time.
