Mal Alagich and I take on Peter Golden and Keith Farrelly this morning in an attempt to reach the Semi Finals of the Club PAIRS.
In the Afternoon, I am Skipping the Fours in Premier 7's Division 1. *************************************************************************************************************** Morning PAIRS - Mal and I started well on the slower green from overnight rain and we were up 7-3 after 6 ends and playing really well. We dropped a 5 and from the on the game slipped away from us as they greens pace picked up and Peter was on the Jack all the time. Mal started Brilliantly but Keith also started to find his touch and apart from a few things that went against us they ended up winning 16-24. Disappointing as I lost concentration half way through and cost us the game seeing as we won more ends overall. Afternoon FOURS, Down 4-34. Against Beenleigh in Premier 7's and lost over all 1-2. Non of us got into it on the slow Greens, Micki played fairly well as Lead, Kylie and Annie tried hard and I was trying to play conservative bowls but dropped short on the slow greens numerous times trying to dray shots when my game is play through the head, Never had much luck either but just adds to my hatred of Fours. No Bowls Today. A trip to Ipswich to settle My Son into his lodgings for Uni next week.
Grant Osborne and I played Jim Suttie and Kim Harlow today in an exciting hard game.
The Green Ran pretty well Rink 14 after the rains of late. It was end to end stuff from start to finish and Jim and Kim stuck it up us and we were down 8-16 half way. We fought back hard dispite the constant barrage of Kims wicks and brilliant bowls we were ahead 18-17 after 18 ends. Dropped a 3 on 19th (Another Kim Wick) so 18-20 after 19 ends. Held shot on 20th end and Kim again was unlucky not to get the shot and we held on for 1. 19-20 down going into last end. I rolled the Jack longer and we managed to sneak a 4 on the last end to win the game 23-20 but we were lucky to get away with a win but all 4 of us bowled some great bowls. Would like to see the Singles Championship game between Grant and Kim which is up coming, Should be a ripper of a Game. I think its only fitting that John Witherwick Marks that game… !!!!! Looking forward too Todays game if weather is kind. Broadbeach Greens Ran well over weekend and should be nice again today.
**************************************************************************************************************** Greens seemed to slow down today after roll went off them and after a slowish start we came away with a good win 37-10. Played John Patterson and John Fihinney. Latif was on fire today and I played pretty well too. Got 3rd place with +27. Always Big scores here. Ipswich today with my Son as he is going to Uni there and just Orientation and fix up his accommodation. Hope weather good. God knows what I will do in Ipswich all day. Might find Swifts and have a roll up.
***************************************************************************************************************** Successful day, All Done. Look around Ipswich and he is organised and will move here Sunday afternoon. Has Gym Sorted and now to get him packed for Action.. After 2 days of Rains and shocking weather it was a pleasure to play at Broadbeach today dispite the showers, The Greens ran very well.
1st Round against Barry Matherson and Ian Miller. Mel and I played some excellent Bowls today and we had a good win 27-18. 2nd Round against Tony Askew and Lenny Henry. Once again a fine effort from Mel and I chipped in with a few goodies for a 24-17 win. Was Great to play with Mel. No Pressure. Bowls in head every end so made my job easy. I played pretty well whole day but gave away a few shots here and there but all for the good. Play Peter Golden and Keith Farrelly next round. Should be fun… Lounge room still full of balcony furniture after no sign of any gale force winds. Think it fizzled out up north.
Another quiet day anyway and not sure if Broadbeach Mens Pairs Championship will go ahead tomorrow or not yet… Heavy Rains Forecast today so I Ain't going no where !!!
Piss weak effort in rain after what we were forecast. |
