A mix of social and comepitition bowls were played in the past week at the Stanthorpe Bowls Club.
Luisa Girgenti Helen Jones and Brian Brown proved too consistent for opponents Val White Ernie Jones and Mark Wicks when they played three bowl triples last Wednesday.
The final score 20-7.
Dot Rankin and David Rose took on Robyn Rose and Ray Rankin in a game of pairs.
Rankin and Rose out played their opposition. The final score 19-6.
There was another heat of the Club selected triples championship played midweek and it proved be to a thriller.
Helen Jones, Dot Rankin and David Rose were defeated 21-18 by Len Girgenti, Ray Rankin, and Wendy Hurnall in a close game.
On Saturday bowls two games of three bowl Triples were played and another of the heats of the Club selected triples championships.
In the first of the three bowl triples games Bruno Stefanon, Ernie Jones, and Frank Gallo just pipped Val White Peter Smith and Brian Brown.
The score 19-17.
In the other game it was all honours to Cathy Stefanon, Steve McLean, and Len Girgenti who totally out played Joanne McLean, Dot Rankin and David Rose.
Apparently, the actual score card was lost in the wash or did the dog eat it?
We will never know.
The club welcomed Steve and Joanne McLean, visitors from Elliot Head Bowling Club.
Visiting bowlers are always made welcome at the Club.
Tom Hodgson Robyn Rose and Mark Wicks had a narrow win (16-13) over Len Girgenti Ray Rankin and Wendy Hurnall in the heat of the Club Triples.
There are still some heats of the Triples championships to be decided so which teams move on in this comp and who the finalists might be remains anyone guess.
Bowlers who have not played for some time, are reminded it is a great time of the year to be on the green so if you are “getting that feeling“ why not come head on down to the Stanthorpe Club and roll off a few cobwebs.
The club and members wish to acknowledge and their sponsor of the week Walter Mattarollo for his continuing support.
