Proserpine Bowls Weekly Report

Social bowls enthusiasts made the most of mixed weather conditions last week, with several solid performances on the green and the long-anticipated return of Barefoot Bowls.

On Wednesday, ten players took part in social games, with Trevor Parsons and Philip Brown claiming a convincing 28–11 win over Alen Sanderson and Barry Zillmann. Meanwhile, the trio of Aurora, Bruce Uhe, and Heather Brown secured a 24–15 victory over Arthur Griffith, John Anderson, and Sandy Daffara.

Friday night saw the successful launch of the club’s first Barefoot Bowls evening for the year, following previous cancellations due to rain. The turnout was strong, and organisers extended their thanks to everyone who helped bring the night together.

Saturday’s social bowls doubled as a chance for selectors to assess players keen to represent the club in upcoming pennants competitions. While rain disrupted some of the games, it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those hoping to make the team.

Unfortunately, Sunday’s bowls had to be called off after a good dose of rain soaked Proserpine.
