I have 8 sets of Bowls on ebay so if you are interested, let me know soon. I have all sorts including 2 Brand New Sets...
I was called in as a reserve as they were short a player so teamed up with Vern Bartlett (Drakes Pride Specials) Great bowl for todays greens. We had a great game against Gerry Ruggeri and Ray Morris. Green ran well although the rain made it very slow. We had a top game and we were behind a few shots early but after 12 ends down 10-17. We forced our way back with some excellent draw bowls from Vern who played the old bowls brilliantly. Thats why I let him skip as I knew mine would go straight today. We got to within a whisker and on last end at 18-20 down and holding drawn game with Rays last bowl, Guess what.. Yep, He went to knock his bowl up and succeeded and we went down 18-21. Very good game against these two. Latif and I did enough today to win the money for the 3rd successive time here Mondays. 1st game against Kevin and Jim, We were cruising at 10-2 after 6 ends and then lost 4 ends at 1 each which made it 10-6. We were down 4 on the head on the last end before Latif rescued 2nd shot and we ended winning 10-7. Kevin and Jim played well on the heavy windy green. 2nd game against Jim Rennie and Ron MvcCaulley. Another good game but we played pretty well for a 22-6 win and
Mark Howarde, John North, Myself and Abdul Latif (If weather permits) Take on Murwillumbah team at 9.00am NSW Time.
1st game and a terrific game on a moist green that ran very well considering the rain of the last week. We were behind most of the game to a very good performance from this Murwillumbah side. 9-19 down after 11 ends. It was only the last end when we hit the front with a drive from Latif with his last bowl. We won 22-21 on last end. I felt very sorry for the opposition after such a great performance but look back on last year for us when we lost on the very last bowl of the game. It happens. We all played very well with required. 2nd game 1/4 finals. We played against Ocean Shores team who beat our Caba side skipped by Owen Simpson narrowly in the 1st round. We played Ray Tonkin, Harry, Jimmy, and Terry. Another very close game against a team that were always there and we could not get away from. Up 16-15 on last end and they got 1 to force extra end. We won toss and gave mat away. Had game won when I drew shot 2ft jack high but to Terrys credit he beat that. Latif tried hard to play the winning but but just failed with his run shot and we went down on an extra end. Good fun day but luck went against us in the last game. Nothing planned apart from Casino in the afternoon but weather was Crap anyway.
Day Off as Rain Forcast. Helensvale back to 3 greens I believe for Pairs again but I cant handle the slow greens after all the rains this week. See what happens over the next few weeks with weather.
Bowls Cancelled at Mermaid Beach today but on at Broadbeach and Paradise Point but I could not be bothered.
11 Months to Christmas, God Forbid. Anyway no bowls or Auctions as rain. Nice day watching Movies and eating. Tomorrow also called off for Australia Day Triples at Mermaid Beach.
Day Off today but greens will be slow anyway even with no rain so I am glad i am off.
Abdul Latif and I had 3 great games today. 1st game against Reg Germon and Sam Granata. Sam Forgot his name was down for todays Enduro so arrived right on time after a phone call and Reg who was working on painting the walls and was thrown in at the deep end for the 1st game. Anyway Latif and I won 26-4 and played some really good bowls. Would have been a different story if they had a roll up and were prepared but we still deserved our win. 2nd game against John Bennett and Aldo Cunial. Another good hard game and we were leading 7-1 but 3 ends later 7-7. Was only the latter stages we got a few ends and ended up winning 20-8 against these two fighters. They played good bowls too. Tied at 34 points after 2 games with Ted Reid and Ron Lewis, we had to beat Mark Vogler and Barry Alderdice. Well, We met them in great form. Once again I played very well at lead but Mark did also and we had some great heads. Barry played the best game I have seen him play for ages and we lost 4-13 although it was a very close game dispite the score. 3rd overall but won a consoliation prize. Good fun day and people who have not played this comp are missing a special day.
