A Big Week Of Bowls

As the weather cools down south, we are enjoying the company of regular yearly visitors.  

Welcome back to Carol and Nev Smith, Bob and Sharon Ross, and Ian and Yvonne Capp.

On Wednesday, we had two games of triples.  

John Anderson, Jim Bownds, and Philip Brown defeated Alen Sanderson, Pat Bownds, and Carol Smith 27 - 12.  

In the other game of triples, we started off with Harry Craig playing double lead, Barry Zillmann, and Heather Brown against Harry, Arthur Griffith, and Nev Smith.  

After smoko, this team morphed into a game of pairs with Harry going off to play an unscheduled game of B Singles, Heather leaving to mark that game and Josh Wilson stepping into the game.  

The conclusion was played as a game of pairs Josh Wilson and Barry Zillmann defeated Arthur Griffith and Nev Smith 28 - 27.

In the B Singles game Gavin Noonan got off to a flying start but bit by bit Harry Craig whittled that lead down.
