THE SUMMIT BOWLS NOTES
One game of Championship singles was played on Saturday afternoon with Jamie Zamprogno defeating Michael Sweeney 28-5.
Zamprogno had one of those games and played well. Every time Sweeney had bowls in the head he managed to rest the bowls or trail the jack. Sweeney played good bowls and had several close misses.
Twenty-four bowlers turned up on Saturday afternoon to play for club trophies. This was a great turnout as four games of two bowl triples were played. It was pleasing to see that twenty-one ends were played as the weather was perfect. Results are as follows – Bill Hutchings, Eddie Zanatta and George Little 23 v Brian Webster, Graeme Warner and Tony Schubert 16 – Rod Crome, Rod Newlands and Larry Mullin 20 v Maree Ball, Phil Davis and Tony Schubert 16 – Margaret Harvey, Dave Cleary and Rob Capelli 19 v Marylee Wilson, Paul Zamprogno and Adrain Jackson 14 – Peter Balmer, Tina Schubert and Carl Sutherland 22 v Trevor Wilmot, Pam Moore and Ray Spiller 19. Winners of the afternoon were Bill, Edie and George.

In the afternoon the Mibunn side won 79 shots to 72. The Southern Downs did better by winning 2.5 rinks to 1.5 rinks.
