Coolum come to us today to play on our new carpet green. Our 1st home game in 4 weeks. Will try and get there for a roll before the game. Would be nice to have another win to follow up on last weeks good performance at Mermaid Beach.

I play Brian Jones in the 1st Rd today. Brian was good enough to bring the game forward to today as I have a Super Challenge game Saturday afternoon and would have been a rush and hassle. Mario Azzopardi to mark for me.
1 result already in today. Mark Howarde defeated Glen Searle 31-29. ****************************************************************************************************************** Game was on. Rain and Heavy Green. Brian and I had a terrific game. I never under estimate anyone and try and stay relaxed and let the opposition make the mistakes and then pounce. Today I got out to a nice 14-7 lead on the heavy track and Barry was playing very good bowls and improved end after end. I found myself still calm but dropping end after end albeit 1's. I was down 14-25 and managed to get the Mat. From then on I settled and played as I know I can. Longer ends were the winner as I put the shots in and Brians Luck ran out and I ended up winning 31-28 after we were locked at 28-28. I never had much luck at times, gave away a few shots with narrow draws but stuck in their. Meanwhile Barry drew very well and I had to convert a few shots at vitat times to stay in the game. Anyway Rd 2 awaits and I am sure Barry will be a force in the future as he has only been bowling 18 months. Would have been nicer for us both if greens were quicker and was drier. Don Henson and I played today as Grant was away for the week. Slow top green after the rains last night. We went down 10-31 to Perry Holland and Kerry Wells. They played well and picked up numerous Jacks Don struggled with his wide bowls and they would not even draw when he did reach the head. Good practice game for me for tomorrow. Played some good shots without much luck.

Was supposed to be Mens Pairs at Cabarita Beach with Abdul Latif but going to be rained off for sure with weather we have had and todays forecast. Another Boring Day.
No Wait. Management have said its on. Forecast looks dodgie. I had better not get there and it is off. Leave Gold Coast 10.30am (11.30am NSW Time) ******************************************************************************************************************* We played in overcast and slow conditions but it was good fun, 1st game against Pat Clancy and Mario Azzopardi. Down 1-7 after 4 ends we came back strongly and ended up winning 16-12 over the 11 end game. 2nd game we played Barry Griffith and Peter Rose. Had a good battle and the heads were better than the score indicated but we won 21-4 with 9 from the 13 ends which gave us runner up of the winners so that was good. Latif and I played pretty well all day. NSW District Triples were called off yesterday pending forecast of heavy rains. Transferred to Sunday 10th march 2013. Prawn day at Southport will probably go ahead dispite heavy overnight storms but I am not going to play in it on heavy greens, Although a great day out I cant be bothered.
I managed to get back on time for Super Challenge thanks to the 1 Hour time difference between NSW and Queensland. Mermaid, Like McKenzie Park have struggled this year and if we were ever going to win a game, it was today. Well, We did 4-1. Chris Hooper won Singles well, Paul Bourke and Wayne Marshall and Cliff and Ethan Lord had good wins in the Pairs. Our 4's side had a good tough game against Bernie Rose's side. Although behind most of the game and down on ends, we managed to stay in touch and lift for a 21-16 win over the last 7 ends which we won them all. Green was slow of course and many short bowls all day by everyone. Jim Farrell was the most consistant of us all and really set up our win with some fine bowls at critical times. I played 2 rippers to keep us in it at critical times also. Anyway our 1st win and 2 more games would be nice to win them to as they are at home to Coolum and Mooloolaba. My team was Steve Franklyn, Dave Favley, Jim Farrell and Myself.
Glenn Searle asked me to Sub for him in the final today of the Club Fours to save him forfeiting his team. I had not entered the Club Fours this year so was eligible to Sub. It was Going to be a busy day and I hoped the weather was to be fine as I had to get back to Mermaid Beach for Super Challenge in the afternoon at 1pm Queensland Time.
Barry Griffith, Roy, Myself and Terry Fuller (Skip) Played Paul Welsh, Cess Shephard, Dave Perez and Steve Anderson. We won 28-10 on a slow wet green which made our tight bowls hard to play. Barry Griffith set it all up for us with a Fine display of Lead Bowls throughout the game and made it easy for everyone to follow. We never had it all our own way and took some good shots at certain time to slowly edge ahead and put the game out of reach for Steve Andersons side. We certainly played the more consistent bowls and that proved the winner in the end. Was great to see Barry, Roy and Terrys Face after the game. The real shot of the game was when we were leading about 11-5 and were 5 down on the head and Terry had a dead draw to get the shot with his last bowl. After that we never looked back. Abdul Latif and I played well today for the 2 games. Greens ran well considering the heavy rains of late, 1st game against Cav and Graeme we won 26-7 over the 12 ends. Both played well. Latif was on fire of course as slow greens suit his on shits and He drew very well too. Had to get a good margin incase rained washed us out but weather was good for the 2nd game too. We played Noel Ridgewell and Tom Hanlon and were up 17-3 but they fought back and we only got up 20-12 over 14 ends in the end. No matter how hard you try to get a Margin, they come back at you. They played some good shots to stop our good run. 2 good games but no money today.
