The Warwick Bowls club held the popular monthly K.F.C. sponsored Bowls day last week. Darryl Collins, Ann Whitfield and Denis Sterling scored a 14-9 win in their game against Gerda Brack.
Ken Hayes and Ray Schnitzerling had a comfortable 19-8 win over the team of Pat Seipelt, Garry Cooper and Trish Max Balfour.
The winners determined a draw of the cards and went the way of Pat, Garry and Max who will be enjoying some seriously good “Finger Lickin’ Chicken” in the near future thanks to KFC’s sponsorship of monthly event.
Thanks Denis Sterling who stepped up in the absence of John Ruhle to organise the game. Unfortunately, John Ruhle has been unwell and along with the club members we wish him a speedy recovery. A big thank you to the catering crew, Pat and Trish who looked after the kitchen and BBQ.s.
In other news the semi-final of the Club Selected Fours was played and congratulations to Trish Owens, Darryl Phillips, Jim Rickard and Bing Hansen (Skip Max Holder was unavailable to play). In a closes game they scored a 24-22 win over Kay Bloomfield, Ozzie McPaul, Ken Hayes and Craig Thurgate. Bing Hansen’s team led on the third end but Craig ‘s team fought back managing to remain in front until the 18th end. Their opponents hit back scoring six points and went to a 21-18 lead.
At the 20th end scores were 22all and it was anyone’s game. Hansen’s team scored two on the next end after a piece of magic from their skip to nail the win. Congratulations to both teams, it was an entertaining Match, played in the right spirit.
The final between the team of Trish, Darryl, Bing and Max Holder and Ann Whitfield, Pat Seipelt, Denis Sterling and Edwin Welsh was scheduled to be played last Saturday however the wet weather forced the cancellation of the game. Players should check with their Skips for the new date of the game.
The weather also forced the cancellation of the Bing Hansen sponsored bowls last Wednesday night.
The Club’s Christmas Break-up dinner was held at the Stockyard Tavern last Thursday night. It was a great night with 41 members and their partners enjoying the great atmosphere and excellent meals. The club extends their thanks to the Chef staff and all concerned in making the evening such a success. The Tavern will certainly be seeing our Members and friends again.
