Larry Montgomery (Mermaid Beach) and I play together for the 1st time. Will be a good game I am sure.
We played Lyn Georgiou and Audrey Stoten and had a good win 39-10. Larry played great and I did ok and just outplayed them. Nice Money win again... Will certainly play with Larry again when he is free. Play against John Turner today which should be a good game. John is 2011 District Pairs Champion.
Well, Greens ran fairly well but still slow and I played the more consistant bowls for a good 31-20 win. Very happy with my game and look forward to the 3rd Rd in 12 days of before once Rd 2 completed. Rain Stopped but will be slow today. Hard job away to Broadbeach. Looking forward to playing Pairs again with Ethan. We should get either Sean Inghams Team (Under 18 Australian Singles Champion) of Ryan Bester (Canadian Champion Bowler) so will be interesting. Look forward to today.
**************************************************************************************************************** Surprise Surprise, They Changed the teams around. Arthur and Ethan in Pairs, Dick Bible and Dave Baker in other Pairs. John Mitchell, Myself and Paul Staggard in the Triples, Paul Bourke in Singles and Gorden Simms leading in Fours with Dion, Tony and Skipped By Chris Hooper. Paul Burke had a brilliant win against Ryan Bester 31-28 on the slow but good running Middle green. Shame the rest of us could not help him.. Our Triples were flogged 15-35 although John Mitchell played excellent all day, I was often short and Staggs tried hard but Clinton Bailey, Paul O'brien and Dave Gardiner were far too good on the day. Arthur and Ethan were down 4-29 when I left against Brett Clifford and Chris McGibbon, Dick and Dave were down 13-21 when I left against Scott Dejohng and Sean Baker and Hoops 4's were down 19-25 with 2 ends to go so presume we went down 1-4 over all. Uninspiring Day. 2 weeks to go.. TFFT.... Rain cleared so we were able to play our first Round matches. I played Ricky Mulders as it was a top game. On Slow Wet greens we had a thriller and Ricky Played really well but I managed to get up 31-29 in the end. Could have gone either way. Needed Good bowls to do it.
I marked Glenn Searle and Jim Leijon game and was also a good game. Glenn won 31-25 but down 21-25 on once again slow tricky green he prevailed. I think a wider bowl was the idea today. Play John Turner Monday in 2nd Round. Hope is is dry. As luck would have it, District Triples were supposed to be played Sunday which would eliminate me from playing as I am committed to Super Challenge with McKenzie Park. They over booked the greens so we were asked to play Today which makes me available for the whole tornament. Seeing as we won it last year I want another chance to do well again. See How we go.
Mark Howarde, Myself and Abdul Latif play Ian Turnbulls (Cabarita team). RAIN STUFFED IT ALL UP. CALLED OFF SO BACK TO SQUARE 1 ALTHOUGH MAYBE NOT A BAD THING. It is back on Sunday, Morning at Cabarita Beach and IF won would have to speed down to Brunswich Heads for 2nd Round. Thats good organization for oiver booking Rinks. Latif is still playing but has 2 different team members as Mark Howarde and I have Super Challenge Commitments at the Gold Coast. Grant Osborne and I hope to draw another easy game to win the money again at Paradise Point. After all thats why we go there, Not the Bowls.... Anyone.... Anytime..... Anywhere......
A Rainy Day so we had to play Triples inside. Joe Angus and Kevin Wills were to play Phil Capon and Tony Edwards but Grant and I had to split as we had outside rink. I played with Joe and Kevin. Grant and I both Led and had our own singles game on Rink 1. Our side lost 19-29 and a good fun game. Grant and I had a good tussle on the singles but Green/Rink 1 certainly played different than to Monday. Auctions today for a break from Bowls.
Joe Cacace and I had a good win 40-8 against Peter Horsington and Stan Gadd in a 1 sided affair. Joe led well and I skipped well too. Peter a new bowler who played fairly well and will be a good bowler but Stan struggled. We came 2nd as Ray Morris won by 39 shots in his game. Nice and warm today with threat of storms but we survived.
Abdul Latif and I had 3 Tough games today. 1st game Rink 2 against Bruce McKenzie and Warrick Gorden. A very tight game at 12-12 after 13 ends. We managed to win the last end in a very good game. All 4 of us played well although I think we just shaded them and deserved our win. 2nd game Rink 1 which was certainly quickler than 2. We played Wayne Khrons and Bob Avery. We dropped a 3 1st end but after 4 were leading 8-3. We managed to play good bowls again and ended up winning 14-10 in another good game. 3rd and final game and 7 x 2 game winners and us with a margin of only 5 and no hope of winning as playing against Bruce Prentice and Grant Osborne. Well, An Unthinkable thing happened. We played fairly well especially Latif who made some cracker results from drives and drawing. Bruce was a little off his game as I had him under a bit of pressure and Grant could not save every end. We ended up winning 29-4 as in the end they were chasing shots of course. They found holes and we had wicks. One of those games and sure wont get a result like that again. Anyway as luck had it we ended with a 30 margin and won the day by 1 shot over all. Funny Strange game Bowls...
