Brian Lamb and I played Chris Mullins and Tony Cox in the 1st game and had our share of luck and won 27-0 over the 11 ends. 2nd game was a little difficult and we won 10-9 on the last end against Bill McKenzie and Ken Doolin. Was a tight game and although we started with 3 ends and 4-0, they came back hard at us and it was only a draw 2ft from the ditch that won it for us. Won 7 of the 13 ends. Good days bowls after the heavy over night rains and the greens ran fairly well.

Vince Beckley and I played Glen Bryant and Don Humes for a 21-16 win on a slow running back green after overnight rains. Vince played pretty well with his XTL's. I was patchy. Just cant get into Social Bowls at Present although I skipped and played a few good bowls. Looking forward to Friday at Springwood with Good Hard Competition. Not saying this was not hard, Glen and Don never easy to beat at best of times.. Just a different environment. Playing against different bowlers.
Abdul Latif and I had 2 good games again here today. 1st game against Tommy Hunter and Cess Shepherd we won 17-7. 2nd game against Wayne Blackburn (Kingscliff) and Jimmy Cook was a thriller which we won on the last end 9-8. Some top bowls played by all of us. Good standard Bowls. The green was very holding after heavy overnight rain but still ran on ok.
Day off today as next 2 Sundays I will be bowling so thought I would have a days break.
Pennant Bash/Party today. Nice food and good game of bowls 2 x 4 x 2 Pairs was the only downside also Club Select.
Ian Crabb and I played against Richard Allen and Dave Perez. Very windy day and 17 second green made it very difficult for social bowls. We went down 7-35. I Never played very well and Richard and Dave played some great bowls and got to a good lead and we chased all day. Glad when it was finished. Phil Capon and I hoping to continue our winning form of the last 2 weeks today.
Well we had 2 good wins again and played really well. 1st game against Bob Hill and Alec Dickman we had a 11-5 win. 2nd game against Barry J Johnstone and Rob Browne a 13-10 win. 2nd game we were leading 13-4 but they fought back hard over the last 4 ends to keep us out of the money. Slow greens again but a nice sunny day. Good Bowls too. Bob Barry and I together again for a game after a few months. We played Kevin Davie and Mal Ford. We started well and 12-1 up after 5 ends but the game settled and on the 18th end were 16-16 after they played some great shots to level the game. However we stood firm and came home well for a 23-16 win. Bob played pretty well and I was happy with my game.
Day Off worst luck. Things to do here and there.
Vince Beckley and I played Lynette and Alistair Ray from New Zealand for a 40-4 win. They were fairly new bowlers and we just out bowled them. Lynette was using a wide set of house bowls and Alistair could not handle the Powers he was loaned. Anyway we won the money for a change. Even got an 8. Should have been 2 but Alistair played a bomb to get 2nd shot and foil us.
Abdul Latif and I had a good day here today and had a very hard draw. I was Lead in the 1st game against Alan Brough and Sam Granata. We played a good game and were leading well before dropping a 6 on the 9th end to go from 9-6 to 9-12. We came home well and were leading 13-12 before losing the last 2 ends to lose 13-15. Could have gone either way. 2nd game I skipped as Abdul wanted to try out the Indoor Green Leading. We were against Mick McGrath and Barry Alderdice and we won 13-6 winning 10 of the 14 ends, 9 ends in a row. 3rd game against Ron Lewis and Ted Reid and another good game. Luck went against us on 2nd last end when kitty came up the rink and we were down 11-13 going into the last end but picked up a 2 for a 13-13 draw. This event gives no easy games anymore and it is really an event people should be busting themselves to get into. Abdul is certainly coming back again next time. We won lucky 2nd game rink win.
