The greens at the Southern Cross Bowls club were running much better last week as the club hosted the Monthly Turkey Triples.
It was unfortunate that not all clubs in the region were able to field a team however the company was good, the bowls good and the conditions ideal but for the odd strong wind gust across the green.
The “Girls” from the bush were back in town, Tannymorel players, Rhonda Cox, Jean Callum and Myrtle Wagner.
Runners-up were the team comprising of Geoff Davis, John Johnson.
Unfortunately, the news for them at the end of play was not great finishing last overall but all was not lost as they took away the fabulous meal voucher donated by the Criterion Hotel.
Was not but were unfortunate to be last on the overall points score, however they were able to take away fabulous meal vouchers donated by the Criterion Hotel.
Enjoy the meals ladies.
The winners, taking home the major prize money were Bill Lee, Barry Ziebell and Kim Hankinson.
Bill seems to be able to take the correct amount of grass (greenkeeper), with Barry setting the bar (providore), and Kim knows how to roll a ‘jaffa’ or two (orange bowls).
The runners-up Geoff Davis, John Johnson and Clark Davidson were encouraged by the constant compliments from Cheryl “Wicky” Wickham for showing great style.
Marion Skaines, Peter Ridgewell, Kev Mooney, Jean Callum and Lyn Collie did not go away empty handed they all had some luck in the raffle.
Again the bowlers and the club extend their thanks to the greenkeepers, bar and kitchen staff and other volunteers who combined to make it another great day.
In Thursday’s game, Kev Seaby, Daph Cross and Barry Frame had a narrow win over Cate Gardner, Norm Olsen and Val Gray.
The score 9-8.
On Sunday, Rob Francis lamented that he had wasted his time when he and Brian Bourke -could only tie 17 all in their game against Cita Weier and Val Gray.
Linda Hartley however was much more excited when she and Barry Frame scored a 28-11 win over Cate Gardner and Geoff Davis.
