Proserpine Bowls Report

Saturday started with a little shower of rain just to set the scene for the day but that didn't cause any of the players any problems.  

Six games of Club Championship Singles were played, starting with Brett Saroglia defeating Todd Leys 25 - 21 in the longest game of the morning.  

Jonathan Bye defeated Marty Flowers 25- 0, and Wayne Handley defeated Barry Saroglia 25 - 6.  

Scott Hamilton defeated Vince Olsen 25-9, Gavin Milne defeated Jim Quod 26-16, and Michael Kinnear defeated Bryan Davy 26-15.

Martin Corr withdrew from the competition and Luchie Gardel progressed to the next round.  

Saturday afternoon, one game of Club Championship Triples started before the rain put an end to any chance of continuing.

Jim Quod, Dale Haack and Wayne Handley defeated Bruce Uhe, Garry Alexander and Peter Lawton 18 - 9.  

The other game was suspended at 12 ends, to be completed at another time when scheduled.

Congratulations to Wayne Handley and Nathan Harriott, with Wayne selected in the District Sides team for both the Challenge Cup to be held in Atherton, April 2 and 3 and the District Sides on the Gold Coast in May.  Nathan has been selected in the District Sides team for May.  

We wish them all the best of bowls.
