Perfect autumn weather set the stage for an exciting week of lawn bowls, with championship matches, social games and impressive finishes keeping players and spectators thoroughly entertained.
In Club Championship Singles action on Wednesday afternoon, Bryan Davy claimed a strong 25–10 victory over Ken Watts. On Saturday morning, Todd Leys edged out David Ling 25–20 in a tightly contested B Singles match. The club extends thanks to those who marked these games.
Social bowls on Wednesday afternoon saw a reshuffle mid-game, with Trevor Parsons starting as double lead before Heather Brown stepped in after the singles match. Heather then teamed up with Arthur Griffith and Mike Harrison to claim a thrilling 20–19 win over Trevor Parsons, Barry Zillmann and Gavin Noonan, courtesy of a final-end score of four shots. In another match, Alen Sanderson and Sandy Daffara had a strong showing to defeat Josh Wilson and Philip Brown 29–19.
Sunday afternoon’s social games continued the trend of nail-biting finishes. Aurora, a visitor from Spain playing her first ever game of lawn bowls, joined Mary Hedgelong and Heather Brown to take a 28–27 win over Trevor Parsons, Philip Brown and Sandy Daffara — again clinching victory with a four on the final end. In the final match of the day, Alen Sanderson, Gavin Noonan, Bruce Uhe and Mike Harrison posted a 20–15 win over John Anderson, Arthur Griffith, Kendall Watts and a second appearance from Gavin Noonan.
Looking ahead, the club will host a Meet and Greet Bowls Afternoon on Saturday, May 3, following a BBQ lunch provided by the club. This will be a great opportunity for all bowlers to come together and for selectors to begin working on team combinations for the upcoming pennants season.
