Grant Osborne and I had a terrific game against Jim Suttie and Kim Harlow… Was tight the whole way but we managed a couple of ends at the end and got up 20-12. We all played well on the slowish but true Middle Green...

Not Got Name Down to play at Southport Today. Will decide in Morning. Depending what is on and weather situation.
Never Bowled Today Paul Ryan and I play together for the First time….
We played John Greening and Bev Hadley. It was hottest day of year and greens were very slow. Picked up a little as morning progressed. Played fair but hard to get motivated and John and Bev played good bowls. We were never really in it with their solid start and down 1-11 after 6 ends. Ended up down 15-27 overall.. Grant and I will attempt to Win this event again but there are some good teams as usual here and it is never easy. Have to get 3 wins Plus a margin….
***************************************************************************************************************** 3 Good Games today but 1st game let us down. Played John McVinish and Red Edwards and had a good game and down early but came back to lead 12-8 with 3 ends to go. John and Red played some good shots to have us 12-12 after 13 ends and then picked up a 1 on last end to knock us off 12-13. Grant Played some Brilliant Bowls Throughout.. 2nd Game against Bob Avery and Erwin A. They Never had much luck and the game was much like last months gave and we won 16-1 winning 13 of the 14 ends. They held us to 1's most of the time… 3rd game against Keith Paull and Neville Fox. Won 27-7 and played fairly well to do so although neville struggle;ed with his Optimas. Keith played some good bowls.. Came 4th Overall. Winning the 1st game and we would have Won the day... Next Month Paradise Point and Southport Same Day Monday 14th March 2016 Will fill them both anyway…. Daily Diary - Helensvale Round 6 Premier 7's Div 1 for Southport - Saturday 13th February 20162/13/2016 Alan and I will try today on the Quicker nicely running greens of Helensvale against April Wilson and Jim Merrick in the PAIRS. We managed a 1st Round win against them in the PAIRS at Home but lost overall. Weather a bit windy today but rain should stay away.
***************************************************************************************************************** Alan and I played really well against Jim Merrick and April Wilson in the PAIRS. We won 22-20 but almost let it slip with a 6 dropped on the 2nd last end when neither Alan or Myself could get within Coo-ee.. We managed to win overall 2-1. Caine had a great win 31-14 against Mr Holmes bur the Fours are beaten by a Brilliant effort from Ray Perkins who played Brilliant Bowls. Anyway a Win is a Win and Overall is all that Counts. A Great team effort.. Keeps us in the Top 2 Results Pending. Not Bowling Today.

*************************************************************************************************************** After Reports of the weekend game that Paradise Point played at the weekend I took a good look at Grant Today to see what an Old C looked like as evidently he bowls like one !! Not Today old Son… He played Brilliant Bowls today as he normally does. The Green Certainly helped as it was free running and although the wind was tricky there was no signs that he was going to Bowl like an Old C today. Played outside and the Bottom Green ran very well. Played against Wally and Bill Rae. Had a Great Game and grant and I played some very good bowls against the Luckless Pair of Wally and Billy. We won 37-7 and came runners up to W.B.R (Wrong Bias Red) and his Partner.. Yes Well Done Red, He did say he never needed that Bowl anyway… Good Days Bowls and P.S Old C = Old Charlie…… What did you think it meant ? You Silly C…. With Gerry Ruggeri Partner away today I managed to arrange a game with him. Not played for a while with Gerry so should have a good game..
Gerry and I had a Great Game against Alan Wood and Cliff McDonald. Rink 8 on New Green and ran very well except ditch side had no turn. We led early and I was playing really well but Cliff put some Bombs in with Trails to impossible positions. Gerry Struggled a bit for weight. Alan played on and off. Lost the game 20-28. I Failed to draw when 4 down after 12 ends when Cliff dragged a Jack Full length and I was short. I also Failed with a Drive when 5 down on the Narrow hand. Would not turn. Those 2 shots cost us the game. All in All very pleased with the Green, Company and Weather… To Make Things worse, We all had to go for some reason and another and we were the winning Jackpot with another Rink… They got the Lot.. Brownie Kindly let me know but I am there for the Bowls anyway and although the $90 would have been nice, It was not worth the 3/4 Hour wait when usually you get nothing anyway. Not Bowling Today and maybe just as well as windy weather forecast. Never had a Partner and had All dayer Yesterday so won't hurt to have a day off.
