Wangaratta Bowls Club Weekly Wrap 11 July

It was another busy week at Wangaratta Bowls Club, with strong numbers and great competition across all events.

Monday’s triples winners were G. Murray, D. Maddeley and R. Agg, who defeated J. Breakwell, J. Stamp and L. Muston. Runners-up were Gary Wills, Ken Wallace and Jim Steel, who got the better of Eileen Dunn, John Foskett and Geoff Coleman. The jackpot didn’t go off.

On Tuesday afternoon, Graeme Smith, Robyn Crawford and Maureen Hyde claimed the win over Natalie Hands, Irene Laird and Bob Dykstra. Runners-up were Bron Tolcher, John Hayson and Allen Gillies, who overcame June Paynting, Les Lee and John Hallas. The jackpot again remained unclaimed.

Fun Friday winners were Les Lek and Greg McSwain, who defeated Judy Christie and Ron Boskma. Runners-up were S. White, Neal Chittenden and Maureen Hyde, victorious against John Hayson, Natalie and Kevin Kelly. Resting touchers were awarded to Pauline Cochrane and Jan Dawson.

Friday night barefoot bowls saw Peter, Bob and Evan narrowly defeat Alison, Michele and Shirley by two shots in a light-hearted match.

Sunday social bowls saw a full green with 64 players. Rink 8’s Judy Christie, June Paynting, Col Parker and John Hallas were the afternoon winners, beating Ross Altman, Marian Sorrell, Jim Quod and Allan Gillies. Runners-up were Toni Bowen, Linda Atkinson, Rodney Barrup and France Wilmann.

The club’s annual Cent Sale on Saturday was a great success—thank you to all who supported it.

Good luck to Penny, Denise and Tiarna as they represent North Qld in Townsville next week!
