Grant Osborne and I played Merv Cobb and Robbie Dobbins on the New Top Green Today. We had a Good start but never won many ends and ended up going down 18-20. Robbie played some Great Bowls when it mattered. Was not easy… Good Game Though dispite Loss.
Bob Brown and I had a tough game against Tough opponents and Tough Green Conditions today. Played Top Green with More Bumps than a Pennant Selectors Nightmare.
We played Robbie Dobbins and Geoff Hawkins and Thankfully they struggled too in the windy conditions and 2 paced Greens. After a Good Start 1 and 4 we were down 5-12. We Came back within 4 shots at 16th end but ended up down 15-22 overall in the end. Played a Few good shots but hard to get a Line. Anyway Good Fun Morning. Had Car Serviced, Got 3 more sets of Bowls to Sell. Busy as All F………. With Latif away for a Month in Malaysia, Bernadette and I will have a game today.
************************************************************************************************************** We had a Good Game on the New SLOW Green. Ran very true but a big push after yesterdays carpet. We played Alan Crook and Michael Hoey and had a good win 29-15. Was easy to be short and on shot was required to draw.. Good days Bowls anyway. Just missed out on 3rd place… Grant Osborne and I finally won the Money here today with 3 Impressive Bowling Performances against usual stiff opposition.
1st game against Laurie Swift and Alex Sabar was a thriller and first 10 ends was 1 shot in it. Finally got a quick 2 and another and ended up winning 14-7 with a 3 on last end. We all Played Well, Was a Top game. 2nd game against Bob Avery and Erwin A who knocked us off in a Big way as few months back in this Competition. We won This one 29-3 and both played excellent again. 3rd and final game was a difficult one against Graeme Rainey and Bob Brown on Rink 1. Luckily we started with a 2 and 6 which gave us a buffer and we went on from there. With Absolutely No Luck what so ever we won 19-8. Rink 1 always difficult but we handled it better than the Opposition. Good days Bowls and Grant Played Highest Quality Bowls throughout the Day... No Bowls Today. Just Chillin…
Leaving Club at 11.45am for 2pm game….
***************************************************************************************************************** Windy Day but Rain Held off… Caine Burns won his Singles 31-18, Peter Elders team won the Fours 16-22 and Alan and Myself won the Pairs 22-17. 3-0 so good result in difficult conditions. Next week Victoria Point away at 2pm…. George Horley and I played here today and the Greens Ran Beautifully..
1st game against John Thompson and Kevin Higgins. George was brilliant, I was pretty good and the opposition too hung in there and held us to 1's for most of the game. Up 9-6 on the last end and somehow we dropped a 4 when I failed to draw with my last 2 bowls after bowling well the whole game. We had shots in the head but both John and Kevin removed our bowls and we lost the 1st game 9-10. 2nd game against Tony Chivers and Dennis Parnell. Won 24-8 and again we played well especially George again… Runner us of the Losers so had Lunch at the Club. Good Value Meal for $8.90 I miss not being regular Friday Morning at Helensvale like the old days but I have to have 1 day off a week… For Those Helensvale Bowlers who read this Blog. You have your Club Fours on Sunday and I hope the weather is fine for you all but 1 thing and 1 player will be missing from your Fours. No one bothered to ask him to play. He has been a member of Helensvale for must be 3 years or more and has improved out of sight. I often play with him and against him and you would not get a better and more consistent Lead. Remember This Name GEORGE HORLEY…… Why is it that some people just get overlooked as they don't drink, don't smoke or hang around looking for gossip. Anyway its your loss… Not His… Grant Osborne and I again take the Greens. Should be playing outside Today on the New Green which ran very well last week for its first game….
****************************************************************************************************************** Grant and I played Merv Cobb and Merv Austin today and had a good win 24-18 and played fairly well on the Slow but True Outdoor Green. Grant Loved the Slow conditions and Led well especially on Long Ends. Good game and warm up for weekend Premier 7's at Salisbury for me... Not Actually Bowling today but will be there at 8.30 am to see someone…. Unless they are Short and I will fill in….
