It was another busy and competitive week at the Wangaratta Bowls Club, with social bowls, club competitions, and some special Mother’s Day action on the green.
Tuesday Social Bowls
Tuesday’s winning team was Merle Elphinstone, Isobel Wheeler, and Maureen Hyde, who defeated Deb Retchless, Howard Moulang, and Robyn Stitt. In another close match, Sue Shearing, Gavin Charles, and Margaret Wilson came out on top against Neale Chittenden, Laurie Land, and Ron Hyde.
The jackpot, however, did not go off.
Mother’s Day Bowls – Sunday
Sunday’s special Mother’s Day event was well attended, with the winning team coming from Rink 2: Merle Elphinstone, Neale Chittenden, and Alby Vigar defeated Toni Bowen, Sue Shearing, and Gavin Charles—and also claimed the jackpot for the day.
In another match, Deb Retchless and Robyn Stitt overcame Jim Quod and Kevin Daniels.
Club Championship – Men’s Open Singles
The Men’s Open Singles competition continued over the weekend with some hard-fought matches. Ron Hyde defeated Jason Wright, Wayne Crowhurst got the better of Graeme Dalton, and Allan Rolfe won his match against Mitch Wright.
Congratulations to all players on a great week of bowls.
