Across the weekend we hosted thirty-three visiting teams, plus nine local teams of bowlers, in our initial Cowra Breakout Pairs Tournament. Everyone had a great weekend, with absolutely fabulous weather for bowls, could not have asked for better.
After 4 rounds to decide the top 8 teams, we had a short play-off series to decide the eventual winners and placings, with the following results.

Whilst we were enjoying the event at Cowra, we also had five of our newer bowlers (Brian Potts, Geoff Payne, Shane Beasley, Ian (Wal) Walker and Brayden Chew) representing our club at Canowindra on Saturday in the NSW Rookies Singles, with Wal and Brayden getting through to the Regional play-offs at Orange on Sunday.
Wal and Brayden faced each other in the 1st match of the day, with Brayden sneaking across the line 17 shots to 16. Brayden then went on to a great 17/5 win over his Wallerawang opponent in the semi-finals, followed up with a fabulous 17/8 win over his Parkes opponent in the Final.
Brayden is now off to Raymond Terrace later in the year to compete in the State Rookies Finals.
Congratulations to all the winners across all events in the past week or so and congratulations also to everyone that competed. Thank you to everyone (too many to individually name) that assisted in the running of these events.
Upcoming Matches and Events.
Our ladies’ State fours team of Sonia Morgan, Dawn Dye, Sharon Bohanna, and Sharen Hubber will now play their delayed match at Canowindra this Saturday.
A date for the final of the Men’s Club Pairs is still to be determined.
The remaining 1st round matches of the Men’s Graded Singles will be played this Saturday & the semi-finals on Sunday.
The Spring Business House Bowls will commence Thursday 18th September and is played over 6 Thursdays. I would encourage all our local businesses and enterprises to enter a team, as a local charity is always the recipient of our fundraising.
Good bowling everyone until next week.
