Wangaratta Bowls Report 26 September

On Tuesday, the club congratulated Irene Laird on reaching Super Veteran status in bowls. President Margaret presented Irene with her Bowls QLD Super Veteran badge to mark the milestone. Irene has been a valued member of the club for 15 years, with many more years of bowling still ahead.

In Tuesday’s competition, winners were Shirley Jones and Shirley Smith, who defeated Bron Tolcher and Graham Smith. Other results saw Lindy Suann and Deb Retchless defeat Cliff Querro and Marg Wilson, while Sue Shearing, Gordon Querro and Penny Warren overcame Bill Myers, Irene Laird and Laurie Land. The jackpot was not claimed.

The final of the Mixed Triples was also played this week, with the team of Robyn Stitt, Isobel Wheeler and Mark Drummond defeating Steve Roome, Tracey White and Lloyd White.

Sunday’s social play produced close contests. Isobel Wheeler and Gavin Charles defeated Bron Tolcher and Greg Smith, while Lindy Suann and Penny Warren claimed a win over Deb Retchless and Mark Drummond. Toni Bowen, Jim Quod and Pat Tracey played out a draw against Gordon Querro, Cliff Querro and Karen Smith. The jackpot once again went unclaimed.
