Latif and I had a good win 29-10 against Wendy and Warren (N.Z) Visitor who I have played against over the years. Probably should have had a bigger margin but they cut us out of many shots. Played pretty well on the wet green as it poured before we started but stopped and we played. Green ran well.
Murray James and I having a game to see how Greens are running as we are playing in the All day Easter Monday PAIRS here although with Different people..
****************************************************************************************************************** 1st game on the slow green against John Madden and Ian.. Hard to beat at any time and we left it until the last bowl to get an 11-9 win.. Leading 10-9 going into last end at 5 ends all. A draw would have been a loss but Murray Drew last Bowl. Was a great game on the slow green and we all played well. 2nd game against Greg Goode and kevin Doolin. Green just come back and ran 3 seconds faster than the 1st green we played on. We had a good 21-1o win and 8 ends but lost a 5 on last end which cost us winners purse. Got 2nd by 1 shot so that was ok, Al least some of Next Mondays All Day Pairs will be enjoyable if we get the good green. Need a few more teams. Can accommodate 42 teams. Have 36 so far…. No Bowls for me today. Wanted to get to Algester to see Super Challenge Finals. Not sure whats happening yet.
****************************************************************************************************************** Never made it to Algester but the Boys from Paradise Point Silver went down 2-3. Singles and Fours Won, Both pairs and Triples had narrow defeats. Great effort this season anyway but they will be sorely disappointed. On a Brighter Note, Great Win for Australia in World Cup 1 Day Final…. Well Done... Daily Diary - NSW Pennant Round 3 V Brunswich Heads at Brunswick Heads - Saturday 28th March 20153/27/2015 Will be interesting playing them away. We all won well on our slow green last week. The Greens will be a tad quicker at Brunswick.
****************************************************************************************************************** A Good Day for Cabarita At Brunswick. Greens were true although not really quick and suited us. Our Rink Brian Moore, Myself, Laurie Freeman and Dave Crowe had a great win 28-8. Barry Shepherd won 18-17 and Brian Lamb team got up 20-16 after a hard game. Next week Easter so the week after that we play Ocean Shores so that will be interesting. 3 More wins an will see us top the ground and win the Zone although will still be hard against Ocean Shores. ***************************************************************************************************************** Congratulations to Paradise Point Silver Super Challenge in making the final tomorrow at Algester. They have done well all year and will give it a good shake... No Bowls Today.
Went for a Search for my Missing Hubcap but to no Avail… Had a good neck adjustment from Chiropractor after numbers Migrains. Hope it helps.. Grant Osborne and I played today on Wet Green but ran well with a Push. We played against Ken Fowler and Graeme Rainey and had a good 29-12 win. Grant and I both played well. Ken is a newish bowler who is learning but played pretty well although the slow green was a challenge to him. Good Game anyway.
9 Months to Christmas… What a Thought…
No Bowls for me and not sure what I have planned today yet. *************************************************************************************************************** I ended up at Southport Bowls Club watching a Terrific Semi Final of the District Ladies PAIRS. Broadbeach Anne McClure and Christina Pavlov V Karen and Bernice from Tweed Heads. Was a terrific game that went to the last end which Broadbeach won 22-18. *************************************************************************************************************** Broadbeach In Final against Tweed Heads Kristy Thatacher and Wendy Wilson. Tweed Girls got up 20-18 in another evidently Great game. I could not watch but good reports from the Broadbeach Girls who did watch. ***************************************************************************************************************** OTHER NEWS It is good to see Southport Bowls Club going ahead leaps and bounds. A lot of Members have Joined from surrounding Clubs in the last 12 months and the greens are full nearly every time I drive past. I was surprised to see the players there who have joined from Broadbeach & Paradise Point and they might slowly become a force again in Pennant with some of the players they have. Its amazing that Some Bowls Clubs are Just Social Clubs. They have No Ambition. I just like to see Good Players go to a Club where they have a Chance to Show their Potential like Musgrave Hill, Broadbeach and Helensvale who Are Bowling Clubs and Take Bowls seriously. ALL other clubs locally are just Social Clubs and will never get to the heights of these 3 Clubs. Some Bowlers though as a little Lazy and won't make the move. Latif and I played here today against Shirley Ou and Ken Hoadley. Vistors from Sydney and just got back to Bowls after 2 years away. Shirley Bowled at the Hong Kong Club for many years. We had a good game dispute the fact that we could do nothing wrong today but played well in doing so. It was 11 ends before they scored and we won 38-4 dropping just 3 ends. Using Bowls that were probably better for the slower greens we had a bigger advantage on the Good Running Broadbeach back Green. Won the money today although +34 last week would have come 4th or 5th.
Glad I decided not to bowl today after over weekend rains would have the greens so slow.
Hope its better for Tuesday at Broadbeach. |
