In the past week, the Southern Cross Bowls Club received more than its fair share of rain once again. It was however fortunate that bowlers were able to play last Thursday before “Huey” sent it down again.
A team made up entirely of Southern NRL supports, complete with Bunnies on their bowls took on the “Rest.” It seems that the Bunnies struggled on the wet track. In the end Darcy Furness, Cameron Wilson and Val Gray kicked their little tails. Penny, Rob Francis and Thea Francis went down 10 – 5. N (Perhaps they needed a lucky rabbit’s foot)
Bill and Wayne have the green running nicely and it saw plenty of action in the Men’s A Grade Singles last weekend.
On Sunday, it was Wayne Foster who came to grief after some heavy rain and was beaten by Barry Frame.
Meanwhile on anther rink Kim Hankinson defeated Cameron “Yowie” Wilson in a close game. Barry Ziebell wore down Barry Frame to score a ,e25-16 win. Ziebell’s win has propelled him into the final this Saturday where he will play Kim Hankinson in what is sure to be an exciting game. The action starts at 10.00am and spectators are welcome.
Today, Thursday (10/3) Val Gray is organising Social Bowls which will get under way at 4pm. Please call Val (0409 611 930) if you would like to play.
On Saturday, (12) the club is holding their St Patrick’s Day Celebration. It is a Social Mixed Bowls event sponsored by Val Gray starting at 1pm. To be sure, to be sure this will be a fun day.
