There were no social bowls played on Wednesday with wet weather having its say.

Friday's clearing weather was greatly appreciated, and Saturday morning was all go, with the first game of Club Championship Pairs played.

Jonathan Bye and Wayne Handley defeated Marcus Craig and Andrew Bell 23-10.

Next was B Pairs with Duwaine Hiscox and Toby Craig defeating Stephen Summers and Vince Olsen 37-9.

Division 1 Pennants picked up 5 of the 6 points on offer on Saturday with their game against Mackay at home, winning 82-53.  

On Sunday, they played Sarina at Sarina picking up 1 point and losing 48 - 61.

Secretary of Proserpine Bowl’s Club, Heather Brown, said many thanks were to be handed out for a good weekend.

“I have to say thank you to Bruce, who spent the weekend doing the bar and catering duties during Pennants and for all who provided scores from the games that were held at other greens,” Ms Brown said.

Sunday afternoon social involved a spirited game of Triples. Alen Sanderson, Bruce Uhe, and Heather Brown took on Arthur Griffith, John Anderson, and Sandy Daffara.  

Kendall Watts came to the rescue when Heather needed to call it a day after 7 ends, Bruce going into skip and Kendall taking Bruce's spot.  Sandy's team won 33-10.

Clubman Scott Kinnear will this week be playing in the Vision Impaired Bowls down in Brisbane, and the club wishes him the best of luck.

Pennants this weekend for Division 1 will host two home games playing Airlie Beach on Saturday and Northern Beaches Sunday.  

Division 4 will have two away games playing Souths Suburban on Saturday and Mackay City on Sunday.
