Conditions bring bowlers out to play

By Casey O'Connor

There were picture perfect conditions at the Summit on Saturday and 24 bowlers came out to play. It was good to see the green filling for the social comepitition and four games of triples were played.

Pam Moore, Owen O’Brien and Michael Sweeney had a convincing 17-8 win over Mary Zanatta, Keith Mungall and John Fairley.

Maree Ball, Tina Schubert and Jamie Zamprogno won their game against Margaret Harvey, Cliff Jones and Tony Schubert 19-14. Good to see Owen O’Brien back on the green and a member of the winning team.

Peter Balmer, Rod Newlands and Graeme Warner had no answers against opponents Sylean Fairley, Eddie Zanatta and Zel Zamprogno and were convincingly beaten 20 – 5. In the final game Brian Brown, Phil Davis and Alex Mattiazzi proved a little to good for John Graham, Barry Murphy and Adrian Jackson scoring a 22-15 win.

This weekend the Summit Bowls club hosts the SDMDBA (Southern Downs Men’s District Bowls Association) Men’s District Pairs. Those bowlers playing in the event are required to be at The Summit Bowls Club by 8:30am Saturday morning to draw cards before the start of sectional play. With a forecast of possible light showers on Saturday organisers have their fingers crossed the weather gods are bowls enthusiasts.
