A little rain on the green may have kept some players away but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of those who played the Apple and Grape club selected Triples Fun Day. At the Summit Bowls club.
Aaron manned the BBQ preparing and cooking Sausage Sizzle and made sure everyone was well fed and fuelled for the afternoon ahead.
The format of changing positions after six ends fun was a success. Although it was challenging it ensured an even playing field for all.
The winners with the highest winning margin of plus nine was the team of Maree Ball, Brian Brown and Tina Schubert.
Maree Ball, Brian Brown and Tina Schubert defeated John Fairley, Cliff Jones and Sylean Fairley 21-12.
Sandra Pianta,(Texas), Keith Mungall and Carl Sutherland defeated Peter Balmer, Graeme Warner and Aaron Ritchie 18-14
Texas visitor, Nic Pianta joined Trudy Elder (Inglewood) and Jamie Zamprogno defeating Bill Calvert, (Gympie) Jacqui Ritchie and Tony Schubert 18-10.
Given the conditions it was good to see some visitors on the green.
Winners of the Lucky Pot Prizemoney draws were Keith Mungall, Tony Schubert, Carl Sutherland, John Fairley, Graeme Warner and Bill Calvert. The prizemoney for the day was donated by the Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Harvest Festival Committee
Thanks to Aaron for looking after the BBQ and the bar staff for keeping players hydrated and to Peter Ayerst for organising the format for the day’s game.
