With BOB MORGAN
A big week of bowls last week and next, with several Championship events being contested.
Ladies Club 4’s second round results on Tuesday, Dawn Dye defeated Sharon Bohanna 22/17 and Share Hubber defeated Dorcas Presnell 25/12, then in the third round on Thursday Dawn Dye defeated Dorcas Presnell 28/11 and Sharon Bohanna defeated Sharen Hubber 24/14. The final will be played on Tuesday 8th April between Dawn Dye and Sharon Bohanna, so the result will be finalised by the time you read this column. Best of luck to all eight ladies.
Last Saturday were the semi-finals of Open Mixed Pairs with Russ Simpson and Dorcas Presnell defeating Sue and Steve Sculthorpe 29/7, whilst Kak Smith and Leila Burns defeated Noel and Sharen Hubber 29/7.
Sunday our Grade 6 Pennant Team travelled to Grenfell to take on Parkes Railway in the first round of the Regional Play-Offs, with an amazing series of games that came down to the outcome of the very last bowl to determine the winner, Cowra prevailed 52 shots to 51, after in excess of 1000 bowls were rolled on the day. The winning bowl was 2mm closer to the jack than the second nearest bowl.
