It has been a hive of activity at the Summit Bowls Club over the past week. On Tuesday (17 Aug) 14 teams played the popular Turkey Triples.
Sneaking into the winners circle were Ray Spiller, Phil Davis and Eliseo “Zel” Zamprogno with two wins plus 29.
Adrian Jackson, Jamie Zamprogno and Tony Schubert were the runner’s up with two wins plus 28.
It was time to prepare the greens for the 2021 SDMDBA Division One Pennants which the Summit Club hosted over the weekend.
Conditions on the weekend were ideal for bowls as teams from Southern Cross, Warwick East, Inglewood and The Summit clubs played a round robin style format on Saturday.
At the end of play on Saturday the two clubs with the highest overall scores prepared to play off in the final on Sunday morning.
Those two clubs were the home team from the Summit and the Inglewood visitors.
Conditions on Sunday were as good if not better than Saturday and there were some brilliant bowls played by bowlers from both clubs resulting in a great Pennant final.
The Summit team stormed home to defeat the Inglewood team by a margin of 16 shots and claim the 2021 SDMDBA Division One Pennants title.
The win ensures, The Summit has booked a place in the Zone Pennant final, on Saturday, 11 September. The venue is yet to be confirmed.
Special thanks to Frank for his great work preparing the green which played beautifully.
Bowlers volunteers in the kitchen who I’m told provided a wonderful Pasta lunch and backed that up with afternoon tea.
Of course, the bar staff ensured no one suffered from thirst.
A great weekend all round.
Looking ahead to September 18 the visiting Kitties and Jacks bowlers will be join the
Summit crew for Two Bowl Triples. There ne before lunch and one after.
The club needs 27 bowlers to nominate for the day so be sure to get your name on the sheet at the clubhouse.
