On Wednesday we had a good turnout of 40 bowlers with winners decided by Lucky Rinks and this week the winners were Heather McGourty and Jim Constan (skip) who were down six to 20 after 12 ends before they were stirred into action and raced home to take the lead after 20 ends on their way to a 29 to 26 win against Mick Cavic and Jeff McCusker (skip). Second place went to Bob Murphy, Peter Murton and John Spees (skip) who were down eight to 10 after 11 ends then raced out to a 22 to 11 lead after 17 ends and held off a strong, late, challenge to take their match 23 to 19 against Allan Chisholm, Rod Holman and Peter Jones (skip). The first resting toucher went to Margaret Naylor at 12.46. Well done Margie, on song as usual. Thank you to Rapley and Sons for their continued support.
The Blue Water Fours took up the weekend as Narooma welcomed visitors from all over and showed them some sunny winter weather and a great bowls weekend.

Sue Wales, Cindy Newell and their skip led seven to six after 10 ends and in a very close game they lost the lead after 13 ends before regaining a 13 to 12 lead after 19 ends only to have Sue Waldock, Margaret Naylor and Sandra Breust (skip) take the final two ends as they went on to a 16 to 13 win. Peter Dillon, Rob Coulson and Greg Ryan (skip) played Warren Bender, Neville Cork and John Downie (skip) and John’s team found this a harder task than Round 1.
Greg’s team started well and they quickly moved out to a 14 to one lead and then John’s team came back and after 14 ends the score had narrowed to 15 to 10. Greg and his team really got cracking again and after picking up a couple of good ends they drew away to take the match 25 to 16.
