Proserpine Bowls Club 1st of May

Wednesday the Proserpine Bowls Club had thirteen people for bowls and Graham Thrupp decided that it  was the ideal time to give his new bowls a practice so that he could start to work out exactly what they do without the pressures of playing in a game.  This always a great way to reacquaint ourselves with just what can be done with our bowls.

‍

In Social Bowls John Anderson, Henny Tattam and Trevor Parsons defeated Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith and Mike Harrison 18 - 12, coming from behind by scoring a 6 in the 16th end to edge ahead leading into the last end with a 2 shotmargin.  We all know that in the last end if you are behind, it's no good playing safe, you must go for shots.

In the other game of Social Bowls on Wednesday, Nolwenn and Thomas visitors from France were introduced to bowls for the first time.  Nolwenn, Barry Zillmann and Heather Brown defeated Thomas, Mary Hedgelong and Philip Brown 30 - 6.
