Wangaratta Bowls 22 January

After a great Christmas break, players were keen to get back on the green, although the warm weather has certainly set in.

Tuesday afternoon winners were Bron Tolcher, Shirley Jones and Cliff Querro, who defeated Stumpy Adams, Gordon Querro and Laurie Land. In the other game, Jocelyn De Franciscis, Marg Wilson and Mark Drummond defeated Lindy Suann, Deb Retchless and Linda Scells. The large jackpot, which has carried over from last year, still remains intact.

The ladies competition has now been called. Any queries can be directed to Games Director Linda Scells. Congratulations to Denise Wallace on her selection in the District side, which will compete in the Northern Women’s Challenge in Mackay in March.

On Sunday afternoon, two pairs games and one triples game were played. Winners were Jocelyn De Franciscis and Pat Tracey, who defeated Jim Quod and Stuart Jeal. The Sunday jackpot was also won in this game, with nine shots the difference. In the other matches, Deb Retchless and Gavin Charles defeated B Querro and T Willshire, while Skin Querro, Celly Jeal and Allan Rolfe defeated Toni Bowen, Alby Vigar and Fely Duncan.

This Saturday at 10am, the club will be reviewing its bylaws. All members are invited to attend.
