North Mackay Bowls Club Wins The Men’s Division 2 Pennant
On Sunday, team manager Chris Banney fronted up with his three teams to play Northern Beaches at our club. The winner of this game looked likely to win the pennant, with Northern Beaches a few points ahead of North Mackay holding second place.
North Mackay’s three teams won their matches to take the 6 points and win the pennant, taking out the Mackay and district Division 2 championship, so it looks like we will be in division 1 next year. Congratulations to all three teams who played well all year to get back into division 1. The last time this happened was in 2016, with several of the same team members still playing this year.
Club Championships
Last Friday, the final of the club three bowl triples championship was played between Bert Hobbs, Chris and Scott Banney and Alex Cameron, Peter Grant and Clive Wales. This time Clive’s team came out the winners by five points, in a very close and exciting game.
Last Saturday the final of the A grade singles club championship was played between last year’s club champion Chris Banney and Clint Vassie. In a very tight and thrilling game Chris came out winning by just three points, 25-22 so is the club champion for 2022. There is always next year, Clint!
