Eighteen bowlers braved the gale force winds that streaked across the green at the Southern Cross Bowls Club on Saturday. The only upside, it can be a bonus to have serious playing conditions as an explanation for any bad bowls. Kim and Cathy Hankinson must have had the lucky penny on their side as they won the day with a score of 25 points.
The runners-up Rob Francis, Daph Cross and Wayne Foster finished not far behind with 22 points.
Today, (Thursday 10 February) Social Mixed Bowls organised by Val Gray will begin at 1pm. If planning to play please call Val (0409 611 930) to book your spot or be at the club by 12.30pm.
