On Wednesday, two competition games were played. Senior Singles kicked off with an epic match between Sandy Daffara and Philip Brown. After 38 ends, Philip Brown narrowly claimed victory 25-24. The first game of the B Pairs was also played, with Alen Sanderson and Trevor Parsons defeating Bruce Uhe and Mike Harrison 19-11. There were no Social Bowls on Wednesday, as many of our regular players were involved in competition games. Barry and John took the opportunity to have a roll-up instead.
Saturday saw the Final of the B Singles, with Harry Craig edging out Todd Leys 25-24 in what has been described as a fabulous game. Harry will now progress to the Champion of Champions at St Helens, scheduled for the weekend of September 20 and 21.
Sunday morning brought strong winds, making both competition games a real test of concentration. In Senior Singles, Philip Brown defeated Ken Watts 25-6. In B Pairs, Harry Craig and David Ling overcame Troy Campbell and Todd Leys 31-11.
Looking ahead, the Senior Singles Champion of Champions is scheduled for September 27-28. Several matches remain to be played beforehand. Trevor Parsons faces Vince Olsen, with the winner to play Luchie Gardel, followed by a match against Mike Harrison. On the other side of the draw, Bruce Uhe will play Bryan Davy, with the winner to meet Philip Brown. It would be ideal for the Trevor vs. Vince and Bruce vs. Bryan matches to be completed this week to allow the competition to finish on schedule.
In Social Bowls on Sunday afternoon, Heather Brown and Mike Harrison defeated visitor Snorkell (from Airlie Beach) and Philip Brown 28-15. Afternoon tea proved to be a turning point in what had been a very even game. John Anderson and Sandy Daffara also claimed a strong win, defeating Alen Sanderson and Henny Tattam 29-9.
