All matches were really enjoyable to watch but I think the ladies were glad to finish as it was the first real warmth of summer on the greens, and they were starting to feel the heat. The hotter it got the noisier they got.

The semifinals of the Major Fours was played on October 22. It would have been another great day as all of the protagonists displayed a quality of concentration and physical dexterity, but taking into account the number of moans about the heat it is surprising how well all involved played. The next round promises to be just as enjoyable for both players and spectators.

The ladies will be holding a Melbourne Cup bowls day on Tuesday, November 3. The format will be Mixed Triples and mufti is the choice of the day.
