Bowled over the weekend | Photos

The players enjoyed good weather on Saturday afternoon and excellent weather on Sunday morning.

On Saturday each side won two games with Zone 8 scoring 76 shots and ACT scoring 74 shots.

The individual scores (skips names only with Zone 8 mentioned first) were: R Potter 17 lost to R Craven 20; D Inglis 21 defeated D Thomas 11; D Quigley 21 defeated M Mclean 17; and B Lack 17 lost to M Ebsworth 26.

The ACT side proved too strong on Sunday morning winning three games and scoring 90 shots to 63.

R Potter 14 lost to D Thomas 25; D Quigley 20 defeated M Ebsworth 17; D Inglis 14 lost to M McLean 24; and L Gooley 15 lost to R Craven 24.

The players were appreciative of the friendly welcome from club members and the hospitality shown over the two days.

Thanks to the Bowling Club Fishing Club for providing breakfast for the players on Sunday morning and to Tone Boldrini for catering for lunch and post–game pizzas on Saturday.

Thanks also to the bar staff for their work and well done to Damien for the condition of the green.

Also at the weekend the South Western District were the winners of the Zone 8 President’s Cup competition played at Gundagai.

This competition is restricted to players having a Pennant grade of 5, 6 or 7.

From the five games played against sides from other districts the South Western side had three wins and a draw to narrowly defeat the side from Wagga District that had three wins.

Well done to the South Western players, as this is the first time the district has won this event.

At a local level there were 20 players on Saturday afternoon.

The Penrose Funerals sponsored vouchers went to Kevin Bryant and Harold Anderson who won their game by a massive 30 shots.

Other winning teams were Brian March and Les Fanning (18 shots); Michael Webb and Colin Powell (10 shots); Joe Bargwanna and Tom Preston (9 shots); and Tony Ruhl and Kevin Porter (8 shots).

There were 14 players on Sunday morning and the vouchers went to Harry Long and Trevor Howell with a score of 16 points.

The very pleasant conditions on Thursday afternoon saw 26 players involved – what a contrast to last week.

Aldo Malvicino and Vic Brown certainly appreciated the conditions to take out the vouchers with a 19 shot margin.

The semi–finals of the Club Triples are scheduled to be played on Saturday with Graeme Edgerton’s team to play Cliff Traynor’s team and David Ward’s team to play Dave Quigley’s team.
