Grant Back to the UK so Playing with Bruce Prentice today. Should be a good game if the rain does not wash us out as predicted.
We played Indoor against Mike C and Neville Fox. We had fairly easy win 38-9 and a few ends cost of the 1st place however we got 2nd. Bruce Bowled terrific lead bowls and my first time skipping for a while and I did ok too. No real pressure though but good days bowls. No Bowls or No Brisbane trip today as baby sitting in the afternoon for 2 hours. That will be fun. !!!
Latif and I will battle the slow greens today.
Actually they were not too bad after the rains. We played Robin Davis and Margrette Rhodes. We won 31-10 but never had it all our own way as the girls played good bowls and Margrette saved heaps.. Good Game and nice warm weather still here. Came 3rd today. Latif Won the Raffle.. Grant Osborne (Skip) and Myself try 1 last time to win this tournament but this time with a decent Skip.
1st game against Graeme Rainey (Sub Noel Gray) and Erwin A… Graeme done his back after 4 ends and Noel stepped in and played really well with Graemes 5H… We ended up winning 12-10 in a good hard game. 2nd game against Norm Broadhurst and Mark Burns was a closer game although we won 18-8 we played again pretty well and picked up a 5 and 4 in mid stages. 3rd game there we only 2 x 2 game winners and we were 1 of them after 2nd round and Alan Brough and Sam Granata were getting beaten on Rink 8 and we had a Ripper of a game against Ian Brighton and Merv Austin. We were down 3-8 when we picked up a 7 when Merv had a drive and took his own bowls out. Leading 10-8 it was neck and neck from then and down 13-15 on last end we held game before Merv with his last bowl and a drive changed the head and we could not convert to get the winning 2 shots for a draw which would have won the tournament for us. We dropped a 2 and lost 13-17. Ended up 5th. Ian and Merv won on 2 wins and a Draw. Was great playing with Grant again this year and I think we have the combination right now. Grant is off to the UK tomorrow and back again in a little under 6 months. Hope we can continue when he returns and he has a great season in the UK.. No Bowls for me. Nice weekend off. NSW Pennant Round 3 Next Saturday. I.E Ralph, Red, Brownie, Lloyd, Jim Sam and may I even say Grant !!!.
Reserves for Logan Afternoon/Evening Anzac day pairs but not looking good.. If so No Bowls til Monday….
I Received a Phone call at 11.30am to say we were in if we wanted. Unfortunatly I was put and would take 1 hour to get there and Brian Lamb even longer so had to pass. Have been told we are down for next year so hope so. Was supposed to be done last year for this year but obviously was not. Anyway Nice Day selling Bowls and sorting out Car Ready to Sell. Grant Osborne and I in our last Thursday game before he returns to the UK for 5 months. Don't know where the time has gone and my friend will be away again to hit the greens of the UK for more success. He has the best of Both world… Looking forward to todays game.
****************************************************************************************************************** Great game today and the score never represented the game. We won 27-9 although if it has not been for Grants Tremendous Bowls when we were in trouble on numerous occasions we could have had the scores reversed, We played Graeme Rainy and Erwin A and they played pretty good to. I drew pretty well for most part and was a very good game on Rink 2 on the Carpet in preparation for Mondays Enduro… No Bowls Today. Brisbane Today.
The yearly ASHES were held today Red Edwards (Australia) V Grant Osborne (Great Britain) Amazing Scenes today as Red Edwards defeated Grant Osborne today in 11 ends in the yearly Ashes series 12-9. There were no reports of Wrong Bias's so presume that was a 0-0 draw. Red Edwards is contemplating a return Ashes in The UK in their Summer (If they can work out what day their summer is). With Wrong Bias's, Away Bias's count as double in the event of a draw on Aggregate More details as soon as they come to hand…. This Report was Anonymously Received (Thanks Red)….. and Well Done |
