Narooma Men’s Bowls : Social Bowls Winners’ Circle

On Wednesday we had a good turnout of 42 bowlers with winners decided by Lowest Winning Score and this week the winners were Baxter Smith, Tony Palmer and John Scott (skip) who had a very close game where the lead changed on five occasions before they picked up two shots on the last end for a 16 to 14 win against Tony Gors, Peter Dillon and Greg Ryan (skip). Second place went to Dennis Maggs playing with expats Michael Knight and Ray Gale (skip) who jumped the gun to lead 10 to four after eight ends before Greg Maloney, Jeremy Seaton and Gavin Richardson (skip) came back strongly to lead 16 to 15 after 18 ends but couldn’t keep the momentum up as they went down 16 to 18 to Ray’s team. The first resting toucher went to Greg Maloney at 13.30. Well done Greg, on song as usual. Thank you to Rapley and Sons, Narooma Plaza, for their continued support.

On Sunday we had three rinks of triples and a rink of pairs and the winners, decided by Lucky Rinks were Clare Cork and Enid Brooker (skip) who started strongly to lead 14 to nine after 11 ends and continued their top bowls to take their match 25 to 16 against Olwyn Mayer and Ken Burrows (skip). Second place went to Sue Sansom, Warren Bender and John Downie (skip) who had an all the way win against Sue Waldock, Pieter Vos and Jean Vos (skip).
