Another fabulous week of bowls for our little club in paradise, with District and Zone A Pairs champions Luke Kinnear and skipper Manny Isgro off to North Mackay Bowls Club to play for the state title on 18 and 19 November. We couldn’t be prouder and wishour two champions every success.

‍

Wednesday social bowls drew 24 players, with visiting skipper Rob Turner, Arthur McManus and Rick Galea taking the prize with a 35–9 win. Rick’s back after eight months touring our beloved country and certainly hasn’t lost his touch. Ted Cullen, Des Ballance and Dan McDowall took second with a 25–10 win.

The Cosmic Moggies remain unbeaten in Business House bowls, with TN Properties hot on their heels after just one loss. There’s room for one more team, and free coaching is available Mondays and Thursdays from 4pm to 5pm.

Our Endeavour Foundation bowlers were back on Friday, with Cathy and Dion continuing to improve and Michael Heynatz and Jett giving us a great contest. We’re proud of the whole group, and Betty Whitehorn does a wonderful job coaching them.

Saturday’s Scroungers saw Des Ballance take A Grade and Tony Whitehorn win B Division. Thanks to big John Askew for running another great morning.

With the music festival in full swing, 12 bowlers turned out on Sunday. Ruby Butler kept everyone fed and refreshed, and skipper Des Ballance, Tony Kelly and Mark Mawson took the honours.
