Narooma Men’s Bowls; Social Bowls Winners’ Circle

On Wednesday we had a good turnout of 48 bowlers with winners decided by Lowest Winning Margin and this week the winners were Mick Cavic, Darrell Goodridge and Neville Butt (skip) who were down seven to nine after 11 ends and the game remained tight right to the last end where they picked up a shot for a 16 to 15 win against Peter Hawker/Warren Bender, Neville Cork and John Downie (skip). Second place went to Jon King, Barry Goodwin and Terry Lewis (skip) who were all square at 10 all after 11 ends before edging clear for a 20 to 15 win against Peter Fennell, Ian Jorgenson and Col Armstrong (skip). The first resting toucher went to John Voytas who showed his consistent good form to rest on the jack at 1.05. Well done John. Thank you to Rapley and Son, Narooma Plaza, for their continued support.

On Sunday we had two rinks of pairs and a rink of triples and the winners, decided by Lucky Rink, were Olwyn Mayer and Enid Brooker (skip) who had a close game early before they drew clear for a 25 to 17 win against Clare Cork and Pat Barklem (skip).
