Weekly Newsletter - 3rd March, 2024

Wednesday Social Bowls saw Ian Orr and Biscuits Ashford race out to buy a packet of Tim Tams with their winning prize. Runners Up were Daryle Barr and Stewart Rogan. Voucher Winners were Dave Jones, Terry Miles, Viv Gunter, Peter Griffith, Daryle Barr and Darren Darcy. Treasurer Tony must have been feeling generous with so many vouchers being drawn

In the Friday Cashpot Triples, Brian Kirkwood, John and Dean Gemmell claimed the big prize with two wins. Andy Richards, Ian Poole and Quirky claimed second prize (W/L), while Bill O’Donnell, Jean Donald and Barrie Isaac claimed third (L/L). Voucher winners were Andy Richards, Warren Barnes, Ann Smith, and Ray Pantlin.

In Round 4 of Open Pennants the results were:

- Grade 4 Kew v. Lake Cathie rain affected with Kew leading when called off
- Grade 6 Kew had a bye
- Grade 7 Port City def. Kew 49-47 to claim 9 points

Ray Allan made a return to skipping in Grade 7, and his team were able to get up 21-18. The other games saw losses by very narrow margins of 2 and 3 shots.

In the Club Championship Triples Round 1 was played, the full results being:

- Laing/Napper/Poole def. Cheers/Cini/Griffith 24-14
- Bull/Mantle/Keirghy def. Bradley/Stuttard/O’Neill 22-21
- Squires/Hodgkinson/Hammond def. Rogan/Dixon/Thrussell 27-16
- Collins/Barnes/Bristow def. Harvey/Pantlin/Nichols 35-9

Keith Collins played some brilliant lead bowling, setting up the win for his team (Barnes/Bristow). Nathan Bull played some unbelievable lead bowls, with regular touchers, to set up the upset against John O’Neills team. John O’Neill’s team fought back, but needed 5 in the last end, and could only score 3. The next round will be delayed, due to the incomplete Grade 4 Pennants game, which will be completed next week.
