No Bowls Today and No Auction either as we decided no reason to go today. Quiet day which will be good.

Latif and I again … Played against Jim McCloskey an Ray Morris. jim who has been a Top Bowlers for years and Ray Morris probably "The best Lead" in the Club who was skipping and no slouch at that either as we found out again today.
Was a great game and close all the way. Jim played excellent on the Slow Back Green and outplayed me most ends although I got a few that mattered. We ended on a 16-16 draw which was a fair result. Ray saved numerous shots and converted on many occasions when we thought we had an end that would get us a good lead. Never any more than 4 in the game at any stage. Down 14-16 and won the last 2 ends for the draw. Was a good game and a good fair result for both teams. Grant Osborne and I played pretty well today but just failed to win overall (Came 2nd).
1st game against Billy Rae and Graham Lewis (Sapphire Gardens). We won 19-7 (10 ends) but should have probably won by more but they cut down and saved quite a few shots. 2nd game against Paul Paralin and Mark Burns (Manly) We won 18-4 (10 Ends) but those 4 x 1's we dropped kept our margin down. 3rd game we were running 2nd overall to Broughy and Sam Granata who were playing Adam Taylor and Red Edwards. Adam and Red were leading 6-4 early but were overcome and went down by 15 shots. We managed a 19-11 Win against Ray Trewern and Fred Barnes so could not get their Margin. Anyway a good days bowls as usual here. Red Edwards even had a Wrong Bias in the Roll Up. Although there is a Southport Bowls Prawn day on Today I decided to go to BINGO instead.
I thinks its all the Free Coffee and Free Buscuits that gets me. Shame Brownie won't be here to share it as hes is off down the Coast for 2 weeks. No Bowls Today. Quiet day apart from Looking after Grandkids for a while in the Morning.
Wife working, Going to pack a Set of SRV's I just sold on Ebay. No Bowls Today. Chiropractor in the Morning and Bowls Business throughout the day.
Grant Osborne and I wanted to play outdoors today on the slow outdoor green but it was not that bad as I thought it was going to be.
We played Reg Germon and Merv Austin and had a really good game. I was happy with my game especially early on with the conversions. Grant played well as usual and was always there and made my job easier. Reg had at least 1 Bowl every end on the Jack which was great for Grant and I as made our targets better. We won 25-13 and won the Lucky Rink but any other Day Reg and Merv would have got a win against another side the way they played. Car Auctions today with Phil Capon. No Bowls Today.
Latif has a morning off work so we played at Broadbeach Today.
We played against Lyn Georgiou and Carole Rose and had a good game which we could have won by 50 but the girls saves lots of shots. We won 28-8 and were beaten in count back by Bobby Brown and Jim Merrick on Ends. Front Green ran very well and was a pleasure to play on and we both played very well. Down here again Next Tuesday with Latif. The winners came in with a +43. Typical for Broadbeach through. Abdul Latif and I to play on a Decent Running Surface today. Sick of Slow Outdoor Greens.
A Day of 2 different fortunes. 1st game against Phil and Frank, 2 Tweed Locals who know the Indoor inside out on Rink 4. We played pretty good bowls but somehow nearly every end they converted and we went through the holes. Was good game but one we were never meant to win. Down 7-19. 2nd game against Anne and Dave Bennett (South Tweed). This game all was in our favour although we played very well and won 26-8. The Opposition found the Holes this game. Good Fun afternoon. |
