Into the Singles today for our 5 men and because of the weather, the players need 2 wins out of 3 because a fourth round had to be withdrawn because of the weather. As often happens in Singles, one is never quite sure how things will go and today was no different going on the results. At home we have …

A very good day for Shoota and his partner in today’s qualifying round in the Men’s Pairs. (Not sure who his partners is). Four wins are needed to get into post-section; Shoota and partner won five and didn’t need to win the sixth. It looked good for Neville and Gary yesterday but today, they missed out for post-section having only …

Late last night I went to the Nationals bowls site to see how the day had gone and it just showed me how little I knew about the event from my point of view. The days results in the Pairs had been listed and showed me that I wasn’t aware that two other teams from our club had entered the …

Five or our Juniors entered this years competition to win our club’s competition and be able to enter the Centre’s Champion of Champions in March 2013. A Round-robin draw had been made on Thursday and games got under way on Saturday morning. It was raining early in the day and it was necessary for play to be held on the …

Thursday 20 December 2012 This week saw the completion of my previous volume of ‘Bowling News’ and this afternoon we had some games on the cotula playing 2x4x2.

A very good evening last night at Cobb & Co where our members thad a Christmas get together. Lots of good food and lots of chatter. For many years, Christmas was celebrated at the club itself but this seemed always to mean that our kitchen was in use, either by club members or some firm putting on the meal. This …

The Mixed Triples Gala sponsored by I C Mark was run successfully yesterday on the club greens; a cool morning but bright sunshine in the afternoon. Though both greens were not full, four games were played by each team during the day and three place getters were found. Thanks to members from other clubs who were abel to join us …

An early start on Sunday to get Men’s Singles started so that four rounds of Singles would be completed. The weather was good and the green was running well for all players. Barry Cross won his game against Murray Griffin and Omeka did likewise against John Adams. Quarter finals next – Wins for Gary Wylie, Neville Turnbull, Keith Galloway and …

And so today’s day‘s play ended and the draw has been made for tomorrow’s post-section games.. Quite a number were watching the last game to see if another could be added to the qualifiers – the two players concerned were Shoota and Neville. All others had finished their games but the close match between the two players had eyes well …

It was Post-section play on Sunday for our Women’s Singles and it certainly wasn’t what one would call a pleasant day. Overnight rain and finally the cotula green was dry for the afternoon play, but one really hadn’t picked the best day to play. There were eight finalist and a start was made to play their first round. I dropped …
