No Bowls Today as I cancelled out as Forecast heavy rain and Paradise Point have No Indoor this week as Boxing so its all outside so rain will see it called off.
Yep.. called Off anyway so I am off to Jupiters BINGO.. FFSG…. NO LUCK…. Gee Thats Unusual... Depending on the weather, Brian Lamb and I… WE CANCELLED OUT
However,, I had to go down anyway and remarkably the weather cleared and it was a nice morning and they were short a player so I filled in and had a game with Bob Seibel and at 94 years old can bowl pretty well with the Bowling arm. Only towards the end of the game did he tired. We played Rowland Aikin and Ron Wardell and were ok up to 12-12 before I lost concentration from Rons Numerous wicks and we went down 13-23. Good Fun morning anyway and better than staying home seeing as our Auction trip was off today. Shame the green was damp and wind was all over the place but still a fun morning. Its put me in the mood for Saturdays Pennant at Cabarita as played all my shots today. Latif and I had a Lack Lusted 18-14 win on slow to medium paced green with tricky wind against Brian Mc Nicholl and Lenny Henry. Could never get a Margin. Lenny cuts us down constantly and the twice we tried to pick up 2 x 5's, we hit bowls up and gave shots away. Nice Morning though with Good blokes.,
Murray James and I tackled the Greens and the wind again at Cabarita. Somehow I just am not suited here as I bowl pretty well everywhere else but struggle here
Anyway 1st game against Rob Watkins and Woody. Struggled to win 14-5 with a 5 on last end. Before that game was anyones.. Murray saved our Bum a few times. 2nd game against Brian Moore and John Ritchie. Down 1-10 after 5 ends but fought back to lead 12-11 with 2 ends to go. Dropped 2 x 1's and went down 12-13. Had our chance with last bowl but slowish green made it hard to draw with the metre required at the ditch. Will persist next Monday if Murray can put up with me again. No Bowls Today as Busy Bowls week next week.
Always a good day here. Weather fantastic.
1st game against Todd Mackintish and Ryan Bester (Broadbeach). Brian and I played Great Bowls to defeat Todd and Ryan 18-10 and 11 ends from the 18. Green ran well and we had our share of luck but played well for it. 5 Dead ends. Still finished 1/2 hour before the rest. 2nd game a different story. After Dinner and greens slowed down fast as darkness hit and we struggled against 2 local bowlers Harry and Darryl Sullivan and were down 8-0 after 4 ends dropped 4 x 2's and Harrys with Evos were the order of the day against our tight bowls on the very slow green. We managed to fight our way back and at 17-17 looked to have come back for a great victory after being down 6-17. Never under estimate a local with a Greenmaster Power on a slow green. Holding 3 on the 17s he drove with his last bowl and picked up Jack for a 3 which meant we had to get a 4 on last end to win. Held 4 before Harry got shot 4" from Jack.. We had the chance to hit his bowl and take Jack back for the 4 but failed. We lost 17-21 in a Great game and got 9 ends each. Even a win would not have got us any money as the points system is very hard here with 2 points a win and 1 point an end. 11 first game was 3 behind the other leaders and the last game we neutralised each other on ends. Great days Bowls as always… Enjoyed it… New Selectors Chosen at Paradise Point are.. Warren (Millsie) Mills Div 1 Selector Leif Anderson and George Osborne will select the other Divisions *********************************************************************************************** No Bowls Organized Today. Might go for a Roll Up at Broadbeach with my New White Bowls.. Unfortunately I diagnosed myself with G.A.F Syndrome this morning so will not be able to go for a roll up. I will stay home and cook instead..
Grant Osborne and I play our last game together today before he goes back to the UK for another 6 month Tour of Duty.
****************************************************************************************************************** We played Cliff Jones and Nick M and had a real good game. Was 19 end game owing to a Wake and a Meeting of Selectors but the speed of the green allowed 21 ends easily to be fitted in. Anyway Cliff and Nick Played some great bowls and we had to fight hard ti win 16-13 over the 19 ends. Seeing as we were finished at 11.10am we decided to play on for the 21 ends and dropped a 1 and 3 to go down 16-17. Anyway was a good game against 2 up and coming bowlers who certainly did more than keep us honest. A Safe trip to my good Mate Grant Osborne back to the UK next week and will look forward to catching up with him at His New Club when he returns in October 2015. |
