It was hard to fault the weather at the Southern Cross Bowls Club last Thursday. Chris McCosker and Val Gray had the better of Barry Heffernan and Cameron Wilson with a 13 to 10 win in the pairs.
The luck of the Irish didn’t hold up on Saturday when Val lost to Kim Hankinson in the Men’s B Grade Singles. In other, results Allan Davidson had win over Gary Penn. Wayne Foster eventually got the better of Barry Frame. Thanks to the markers for who volunteered to oversee the games.
Foster then played Davidson in a nail biter. In the end it was Foster who scrambled to 25 first to claim the win after playing 28 ends. Kim Hankinson and Foster play their match sometime soon as they were not available to play last Sunday.
Unfortunately, numbers were down on Sunday for mixed bowls. It was a pity as a former National Coach joined the group for a roll up.
Today, (Thursday Feb 24) there will be Social Mixed Bowls at 1pm organised by Val Gray. Call Val on 0409 611 930 to book in or be there at the club 12.30pm.
