Brett Wicks and I played Laszlo Marer and Dennis (D.J) McDonald on pretty slow but true green and we had a Pretty easy 27-12 Win.. Slow Greens are a Pain after such good quick Greens at Paradise Point Monday.

Ted Read and I, 4 Games 11 Ends.... Interesting... Actually Have 42 Teams....
Ted and I had a Good Day Dispote losing the 1st game, we managed to win the other 3 well.. 1st game against Alan Elliott and Caine Burns and we started well and led 6-3 but we struggled with Rink 15 and they pulled away from us and Caine played some Great Draw Bowls as Skip although Alan was not on his game either.. We went down 7-17 and should have done better 2nd game indoors and we played Ron Lewis and Robbie Cresswell on Rink 4. Robbie Usually Deadly indoors never had his own way today and Ron played Great lead Bowls but we got up 13-11 in a good tight game and Ted Played some Gread Shots. 3rd game against Tony Johnson and Paul. Outdoor Rink 11 and Green ran Brilliantly. We handled it the best and had a good 11-5 win.. 4th Game against Old Mate John North and Alan Vidler (Ex South Tweed). Rink 1 and home team advantage got us home and we all played some decent bowls and we won 15-8. Was a Good Days Bowls and Glad we hung around afterwards as won $100 Lucky Rink.. This Format was Very good 4 Games 11 ends but changed MUST be made. Finished too late. Cut out the 2nd, 3rd and 4th game 1 end roll up and reduce the time between games, Its annoying. Not 1Hr 45 Minutes. 1 Hour 40 Minutes is good enough. This Saves Half an Hour and gets finished Bowls at 4.30pm and away after presentation at 5pm Not 5.35pm.. Bowlers from Tweed and Brisbane have to get home and its too late. Tornament will still be a Great Success as This Was today. Very Well Done the Guys who ran it. Colin Bray and Crew... Not Bowling Again today. Grandkids coming over...
Ted Stapleton and I play George Gibson and Dick English..
We played 18th January 16 ends before illness by Ted stopped the game and very kindly they would not let us forefit and re arranged last 5 ends for today.. We are down 10-15 after 16 ends. Have to hope we can get the better of them very early and go on from there. Will try our hardest,... ************************************************************************************************************* We tried too hard. went down 12-22.. Good effort though but they came out firing... Thanks for Ted who played pretty well through it all... Playing Today at Broadbeach with A Very Good Mate...
Jar Jar and I played Ross and Peter Lambert on New Back Green. Was slow and local knowledge probably got them home. Although we never played our best Bowls, Many Times holding Numbers only to be denied by Peters last Bowl and a game where 16 Singles shots but we dropped 3 x 3's and a 4 early and never recovered although always close enough where a 5 could have put pressure on them but they always got out of the situation. Fun Morning anyway and will do it again next week.. Joe Cacace and I played against Kevin Mattimore and Ian Erskine for a very tight game where they pushed us all the way until the last 3 end when we got home 27-17. Was a Good game on slowish greens with good bowls played by all of us..
