Weekly Newsletter – 20th October, 2024
The Quarter Finals of the Major Singles was completed, with some amazing bowls being played. Adrian Hilton jumped out to a big lead (15-2) before Rocky Davis fought back to take out the game. Bruce Reid played some good bowls, but Viv Gunter was too strong on the day. Brad Conway and Andrew Richards fought tooth and nail for 3 hours 30 mins, with the lead changing constantly, and most ends being limited to scoring one shot. The final scores were:
- Rocky Davis def. Adrian Hilton 25-21
- Viv Gunter def. Bill Reid 25-14
- Brad Conway def. Andrew Richards 25-23
Next week sees the Semi Finals being played Sunday 27th October, commencing at 9am. Barrie Isaac plays Viv Gunter, and Rocky Davis plays Brad Conway.
In Wednesday Social Bowls, the weather looked bleak, but a determined set of crazy bowlers couldn’t be stopped from braving the conditions. Ian Orr, Stewart Rogan and Bill Reid took out first prize, while the runners up were Peter Mauger, Viv Gunter and Rooster Darcy. Voucher winners were Phil Owen, Wayne Thrussell, Bob Carr and Paul Cini.
In the Friday Jackpot Triples, the jackpot was won by the lucky combination of Kim Thompson, Ray “Wicky” Allan, and Viv Gunter, who picked up $404 for their efforts. Voucher Winners were Wayne Thrussell, Frank Raczka, Ian Orr and Steve McGregor. Mick “Biscuits” Ashford encouraged people to make donations into his home made “Help Me Get To the USA” Donation box, but all he collected was a pack of stale Arnotts.
