However Clinton is not skipping on the weekend at Cabarita Beach has me stunned but then the selectors do not know his current form.
Latif and I played John Bailey and Clinton Bailey today in a Terrific game. Clinton was on fire the whole game with his drawing ability and we went down 16-21 but was always an open game but we just could not hold on to the shots.

Latif and I played again at Cabarita Beach on the Slow Wet Greens from last nights storms.
1st game against Barry Cosack and Ron Hutchinson. We won 27-3. 2nd game against Peter Schofield and Brian Moore won 18-10. Only 8 ends and I short of the Money but played very well and enjoyed the day here as usual. Look forward to Pennant Saturday but have selectors got it right ?? Doubtful. Shit of a Job and they get canned from every direction but some obvious positional changes really need to be made to get the teams full potential and stop the discontent with players before the season starts. No Bowls Today. Organized Plumber for My Sons Unit and got that Fixed up. Car Wash and Bunnings Trip and cooking and a few beers. Nice Quiet Day and Night. IMPORTANT NEWS
Selectors Chosen for One of My Clubs for the next season RAY GLASSER * BARRY ALDERDICE * MARK VOGLER Daily Diary - Cabarita Beach Pennant Trial V Ocean Shores at Cabarita - Saturday 29th March 20143/28/2014 Our Division 2 side play Ocean Shores Division 1 Side today. Nice slow greens after heavy weekly rains but we are confident of a good win overall.
*************************************************************************************************************** Won't say too much about the so called "trial" today. 5 Key players away for some reason so Latif had all reserves and went down heavily to Troy Makins side. The Very slow and tracky green never helped the Reserve bowlers and Latif was down Most ends. Troy converted also with some lovely drives when he was down. Score was 12-29. James Lavertys side were well ahead and although Ocean Shores came back towards the end they managed a good win on their rink. Score was 26-18. Our Rink only fill in was Billy Creedon for Mario Azzopardi who had to work. Billy played the best of all of us. I play 2nd and Played pretty well. Clinton also as 3rd played some nice shots as did Scotty. The Green was very unforgiving and tracked everywhere. We were leading 11-1 after 5 ends and from then we dropped so many ends while we were holding to some great Bowls from Ricky Barnes Side. It just never changed. Usually it turns but we went down 13-18. Not a good start but once we are at full strength next week should be a different story and Brunswick Heads away will not be easy as they have some good imported players I believe. 3 Away games and 3 Home games. Must win 2 of the 3 away. **************************************************************************************************************** Congratulations to Grant Osborne and Sam Granata in their Club PAIRS win today.

A Successful day. Latif and I have another Day here at Broadbeach Open PAIRS after a good day at Cabarita Yesterday. Should be good if weather holds.
****************************************************************************************************************** 3 weeks ago here we played a 16-16 draw against Jim McCloskey and Ray Morris and had a ripper of a game and it was fitting that we played against them again today. After heavy overnight rain, the green still ran pretty well. We were down 0-7 after 3 ends after they picked up the Jack on all 3 ends for shots when we were holding numerous shots. We fought back well and led 11-8 and dropped a 3 to 11-11. It was a very close game from there and at 18th end we were 19-19. Dropped and 2 and 1 after holding shots on last ends to go in 19-22 into the last end. Things were against its on the head and we took the risk of dropping an 8 to kill the end and live to fight another day but we managed to drop a 5 on the last to eventually go down 19-27. Great game again but they certainly played well and Rays Tight Bowls were the order of the day again., His weight control was pretty good throughout especially the run shots which caused us a lot of damage. Abdul Latif and I back at Cabarita Beach for the 1st Monday in a while. Been playing elsewhere Mondays until the Greens speed increased. Thought had better play here today as Pennant trial Saturday and get used to the greens. See how we go.
****************************************************************************************************************** Great to get back to Cabarita and the greens are starting to get back to normal.. 1st game against Kevin and Jim Legion. We both played well for our 25-5 win. 2nd game against Clinton Bailey and Scotty DeJongh. No one was every going to win the money between us although we tried and went out to a 9-0 lead after 3 ends but they fought back and although we won 8 from the 13 ends and Won 17-9, was not enough for any money, Was a good game though as expected and some terrific bowls played all round. I am looking forward to playing 2nd to Clinton and Scott in pennant this season and Trial This Saturday against Ocean Shores. Most of our players will be there. ***************************************************************************************************************** Regarding My 3 Months Suspension from Paradise Point Bowls Club The Club today had a Board Meeting and decided to rescind my suspension to an official repremand. I apologise for any Inconvenience I have caused Paradise Point Bowls Club in my remarks in my previous web pages which have been adjusted and edited to conform with normal social and acceptable despatches. **************************************************************************************************************** THANK YOU I would like to Thank everyone of my friends and fellow bowlers who showed me so much support to me during this time. I was overwhelmed with the Phone calls and support from many many fellow bowlers/friends.. I will not forget it. I think Justice has now been done and if future situations occur I shall certainly take a different kind of action not detrimental to the Club. Went to a Grease Concert last night and Rock and Roll from the 50's at Southport RSL..
What a brilliant Night., 3 Hours of Top Entertainment. Had Us pensioners getting out of our wheelchairs and bouncing about in the aisles. It was a wonderful time in the 70's and Grease remains one of my all time favourite movies. It makes you reflect that almost 40 years ago, These actors are in their 60's and some even passed on. Makes you wonder where our lives have gone as it seems like only yesterday that I saw the Movie at the Capitol theatre for the 1st time in Sydney. **************************************************************************************************************** No Bowls today but a Big Week Ahead. Monday Cabarita, Tuesday Broadbeach, Thursday Broadbeach, Saturday Cabarita and what ever else I am entered in-between. Big Club Singles game today between my mates Peter Thompson and Grant Osborne. Would hate to bet on the result as both players are in top form. Good luck to you both. |
