Wangaratta Bowls Weekly Wrap

It was a busy week on the greens at Wangaratta Bowls Club, with strong turnouts and tightly contested matches across multiple days of competition.

On Monday, the self-selected triples event was taken out by the Irymple crew of Jenny Healey, France Wilmann, and Chris Healey, who defeated the trio of Aileen Dunn, John, and G. Coleman. Runners-up on the day were Denis Madeley, Dave Richardson, and R. Agg, who triumphed over Keron McKenzie, Mark McKenzie, and R. Barr-Kemp. The jackpot, however, remained elusive.

Tuesday saw six rinks in play, but it was rink 6 that produced the afternoon’s winners. Anne Fitzgerald, June Paynting, and Ron Hyde defeated Bron Tolcher, Greg McSwain, and David Madden in a strong showing. The jackpot—now a very tidy sum—still went unclaimed.

In club competition, the final of the Men’s A Pairs was held, with Mitch Wright and Wayne Crowhurst emerging victorious over Allan Rolfe and Mark Drummond in a well-fought match.

Sunday afternoon drew a full green of players. John Brakewell, Shirley Smith, and David Madden claimed the win over Karon McKenzie, Gavin Charles, and Mark Drummond. Runners-up were Ann Fitzgerald, Jan Dawson, Graeme Smith, and Joe Paynting, who defeated K. Halton, B. Downs, John Hayson, and Ron Symmons. Once again, the jackpot stayed intact.

The club has also been proudly hosting the North Queensland District Ladies Division Three Pennant this week. Our ladies have performed exceptionally well, and Monday’s match will determine the final winner. Results will be posted in next week’s report.
