There was plenty of action on the green at Southern Cross Bowls Club at the weekend. Social Bowls were played on Saturday and Sunday, there were games played in the Men’s pairs competition and there was a group of barefoot bowlers giving the game a go.
To date in the shoot out for the pairs Kim Hankinson and Barry Ziebell defeated Liam Holland and Wayne Foster. Al Thornton and Geoff Davis had a win over Joe Torrisi and Barry Frame and Al and Geoff had a win over Kim and Barry Z.
Clark Davidson and Dave Scotney were too good for Cameron Wilson and Bill Lee. Greg Johnson and Pat Gainey had a win in their game against Brad Gainey and Slave while Peter Klowss and Allan Davidson had a win in the game against Barry Heffernan and Kev Mooney.
The semi-finals were played after the lunch break. Al Thornton and Geoff Davis defeated Clark Davidson and Dave Scotney. In the second semi, Greg Johnson and Pat Gainey scored a win in their game against Peter Klowss and Allan Davidson.
There was some great action in the games and some very good sportsmanship. I hear there could have been a minor dummy spit in one of the games.
Clark Davidson went from green to BBQ making sure everyone had lunch on Sunday which was greatly appreciated.
The green at Southern Cross has never run as fast and true as it did last weekend and is a credit to the green keepers, Bill and Wayne.
The final of the Club men’s pairs will be decided this Saturday (30/4). Al Thornton and Geoff Davis will go head to head with Greg Johnson and Pat Gainey
