Last Saturday Cowra Bowlers Shane Beasley and Mark Hubber competed in the Sectionals of the State over 40’s at Parkes. Shane and Mark managed a very hard-fought win in their first match but had losses in the other two. Commiserations fellas and we’re all proud that you contested the event, irrespective of the outcome. If you don’t compete, you don’t improve and give yourself the opportunity to win.
On Saturday at home Shane Egan took on Noel Hubber in a keenly contested first round match of the Men’s A Grade Singles. Noel jumped out to a good early lead, but Shane fought back strongly to eventually take the match 25 shots to 23. Congratulations Shane and you can now look forward to the semi-finals in a couple of weeks.
This weekend we will host thirty-three visiting teams, plus nine local teams of bowlers, in our new Cowra Breakout Pairs Tournament. Play on both days will commence at 9.30am, with three rounds on Saturday and one round plus finals on Sunday. Come along and watch some great bowlers in action from across the State.
Because of the tournament, mixed social bowls on Saturday is cancelled and mixed social bowls on Sunday will now commence at 1.00pm, phone in between 11.00am and 12.00pm for a game.
