It was a full day with bowls only interrupted by a lunch break and perhaps a few visits to seek refreshment, It was a great start to the week for the Southern Cross members.
On Thursday, the Ladies hosted social bowls. Darcy and Val made a big mistake taking on Daph, Cate and Barry Heffernan and only scoring one lone point against their 22.
There was a trace of that Cath and Kim “ Look at Moiye! “ attitude about on Saturday when “Cath and Kim” Hankinson together with Marion Skaines stole the show defeating Cate Gardner, Cita Weier and Kev Mooney 27 to 10 and winning the winning the day.
In other games on Saturday Allan Davidson and Bill Lee had a comfortable 23-8 win over their opponents Norm Olsen and Wayne Foster.
Rob Francis, Linda Hartley and Geoff Davis showed their opponents Greg Johnson, Thea Francis and Dave Scotney (with his Manly SeSa Eagles bowls) how you go about winnings when they nailed a 19-15 win.
