A big day of bowls last Saturday at Dubbo and Cowra. In the morning our ladies Senior Triples team, Sonia, Dawn and Sharen went down 15/18 to Lithgow City, who then went onto have a good win in the final on Saturday afternoon. Also, on Saturday afternoon our Men’s Triples team, Kak, Wal & John had a narrow loss to Mudgee 25/29. Mudgee went on to have a good win in the final on Sunday morning.

At home on Saturday afternoon our Men’s bowlers played the finals of the A, B & C Grade Singles Championship. Our new A Grade Champ is Shane Beasley after a good win over Mark Hubber 25/13, our B Grade Champ is Rob Oliver who had a very narrow win over Steve Sculthorpe 25/23 and our C Grade Champ is Trevor Ellis who also had a good win over Dave Booth 25/13. Congratulations of course to the three new Singles Champions and commiserations to all our bowlers that contested the various events but were unsuccessful on the day.

Upcoming Matches and Events.

Four of our ladies Sonia, Dawn, Sharon & Sharen will travel to Dubbo this weekend, again to contest the Regional Section of the State Fours. We send our best wishes with you.

This Saturday we have two matches of the Men’s Club Triples, with Graham Thompson, Dave Booth and Trev Ellis to play Tony Savage, Mick Baldwin and Shane Egan, and Bruce Oliver, Joe Burgin and Mark Hubber to play Shane Lauritzen, TBA and Steve Sculthorpe. Byes for Laurie Chew’s and Steve Treasure’s teams.

A date for the final of the Men’s Club Pairs is still to be determined.

The Spring Business House Bowls will commence Thursday 18th September and is played over 6 Thursdays. I would encourage all our local businesses and enterprises to enter a team, as a local charity is always the recipient of our fundraising.

Good bowling everyone until next week.
