A significant number of regular Stanthorpe bowlers were unavailable this past week allowing for only one game of three bowl triples in the mid-week competition.

Bruno Stefanon, Tom Hodgson and Brian Brown prove far too strong for the team of Ernie Jones, David Rose and Peter Smith.

The final score a convincing 23-6.

Conditions on Saturday were close to perfect for the two games of three bowl triples.

In the first match Helen Jones, Ray Rankin and Frank Gallo narrowly outpointed Robyn Rose, Wendy Hurnall, and David Rose to score a 12.10 win.

Ernie Jones, Dot Rankin and Jeff Aldridge took the prize in the final game in which they played Jimmy Ringer, Gary Trevena, and Mark Wicks.

It was good to see Jeff Aldridge back playing bowls and on the winning team. The score in this game 16-10.

Members of the club extend their best wishes to Gordon Gallaway who is having a tough time at present and also Len Girgenti who has had further adjustments to his under carriage.

It will be great to see them back on the green as soon as possible.

The annual Stanthorpe Bowls Club Fours Carnival is just around the corner.

Be sure to get your team organised as entries close shortly.

The club sponsors this week are David and Amanda from J.S.I. Motorcycles and they are thanked for their continuing support.
