The Summit Bowls Club welcomed back bowlers from their Christmas and New Year break last Saturday with a game of social bowls.
One game of Two Bowl Triples and a game where there was a Split Rink were played in perfect Granite Belt summer conditions.
It may have been only an afternoon of social bowls but there was no mucking about from the bowlers who all seemed to be in “game mode” after their break and games were tightly contested. There were some great bowls played and it seems no one has lost their touch over the break. Perhaps they were taking the opportunity to sharpen their tactics before the District Events and Carnivals get under way.
In the Two Bowl Triples game Rod Newlands, Michael Sweeney and Tony Schubert 18 scored a tight 18-16 win over opponents Carl Sutherland, Paul Zamprogno and Tyler Sweeney.
Results of the Split Rink saw Steve Tyter , Mick O’Leary and Graeme Warner (all playing two bowls defeat Brian Brown and Jamie Zamprogno (both playing three bowls) 15-13.
There are some great events just around the corner for bowlers including the Tenterfield Carnival – Open Fours on Saturday/Sunday 22, 23. January.
This will be followed by first District event in 2002, the SDMDBA Fours. Saturday 29 January, Sectional play followed by Post Sectional play (Finals) on Sunday 20 January.
Bowlers should also be noting the date, Sunday 20 February in their diaries – The Summit Open Two Bowl Triples Carnival.
