Grant Osborne and I played Terry and Geoff from Halcyon Waters and had a good game.
We Started Brilliantly but some Great Saving bowls from Geoff early on and towards the end kept our Margin just outside the winning Circle of 23 and 19. We won 33-15.. Some Good Bowls Played on Rink 1... Good Hit out for Sunday for Robina (Weather Permitting) Only Triples at Southport Today for This week owing to Green Renovation.
I will give that a Miss and get my Brakes fixed on my Car and plenty of other Things to do today. Not Bowling Today as World Juniors on at Broadbeach so no Greens available for Social Bowls..
DONT FORGET PEOPLE - BROADBEACH OPEN PAIRS TUESDAYS IS NOW AT GOLD COAST LAWN UNTIL THE END OF APRIL 2018 OWING TO THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES. COME ALONG AND JOIN THE LOCALS AND GET ONE HELL OF A GAME OF BOWLS ON EXCELLENT GREENS GOLD COAST LAWN, ALWAYS ACCOMODATING AND ALWAYS FUN. I will have Day off as Tons to do and Legs to Heal from yesterdays All dayer at Southport. Robbie Cresswell and I for the First time together..
Greens slowing after weekends rains but still ran very well.. 1st game against Graeme Mee and Pinki (India) A good Hard game and Robbie and I played well for our 16-10 win... 2nd game on Front Green which was very tricky.. We played Rod Hicks with his Tight Adrenaline and Ian Erskine. We were in for a hard game from the start and were down 0-2 after 1st end and 3 down on 2nd end before Robbies drive got us a 2. 2-2 and we picked ups 3 but Rod and Ian played Supurbly to counteract everything we did. We went down 11-21 and had No Answer for them this Green 3rd game against 2 Game winners Steve (Crackles) Rice and Scott Harris. We played well on the better green for a nice 17-6 win... Good Days bowls again in the heat and every team seems to have lost 1 game but I never hung around to see who won what... Nice Quiet Day ahead.
Sold a Nice Set of Bowls early and Getting stuck into the Powerade to try and get rid of this Cramp I seem to get constantly.. Magnesium Step up too... Playing Indoors Today in a Must Win game for Both Sides.. I am afraid Robina Might Struggle on the carpet as not used to it but we will be trying hard… **************************************************************************************************************** Thank God for the Rains Thats all I can say. Saved our Bacon Today.
Unfortunately the Rain was so Heavy at Robina that the Team was unable to Travel safely to Paradise Point to play Indoors this morning.!!!! I Myself, Made it there with no problem and had a Great Roll up Singles with Ralphy for 2 hours while the other Paradise Point players played among themselves. It was made very clear to me that Paradise Point will teach us a Lesson in Lawn Bowls when we do get to play them in a week or two (Weather Permitting). However, Next week we play Benowa at Robina and if we lose its all over for us anyway and Paradise Point go to Algester which will be no Guarantee of a Win. It will all come down to the Robina V Paradise Point Game when it is played…. In My Opinion Premier 7s is a waste of Time and low class event and shown by the lack of early information whether to Cancel ALL games owing to the Crap weather… People don't have time to hang around all weekend waiting to see if games are on or off. MAKE A DECISION EARLY Like Summer 9's was called off Mid Day Friday. Why not Premier 7's… The Forecast was correct and Green Keepers would have been unable to prepare Rinks in time for Saturdays games in most cases Another Thing, Why have events in Mid Summer in heat of the day when older Bowlers are keeling over and unable to play from the heat. Whats Wrong with October -December when it is Cooler and nothing on much anyway. No Wonder Bowls going down the Tube. I will just play my Weekly PAIRS Mondays to Fridays and Stuff all this other Shit …. Glad when its all Over… Not Bowling Today.
Getting relaxed for All Important Indoor match against Paradise Point Saturday Morning for ROBINA….. Grant Osborne and I will play if its PAIRS but NOT if its Triples or Fours… Weather a bit iffy so will find out shortly what it is today...
Decided Not to Play Today.. Triples and Fours inside. Need to rest my Sore Leg anyway and also have other things to do so worked out very well.. Lots of Bowls Business to do here today so thought seeing as Southport have TRIPLES on this morning, I would get a partner and play PAIRS at Cabarita This afternoon...
Thanks to Warren Chatman for teeing me up a good quality Partner... Greg Matfin and I…. **************************************************************************************************************** 1st game on the Slow Green with Very Windy conditions… Greg Skipped Against David Crowe and Barry Shephard. Barry was the only 1 of us to get the weight and Greg was using a New Set of XV1s but no matter what we used today, No Luck and Bad Bowls we went down 6-16. 2nd game against Barry Jones and Keith Moran. The Other Green was Very fast and ran nice apart from the wind and we were down 4-12 before coming home well to lead 14-12 with 1 end to go and dropped a 2 for a 14-14 draw but we won on ends... Gregs XV1s went better on the faster green and I bowled a bit better with the speed of the green although it was a shock with wind behind 1 end and a Wall of Wind the other end...
