Rained Heavily for most of the day and where I thought the outdoor carpet could handly the rain, I was wrong. Once it is sodden wet, the bowls aquaplanes and you have to plough through 1" of water to reach ther other end. 1 green worse than the other. Anyway Had a great day though. 1st game was a Disaster as Brian had no Idea with his Edge Factors and we were down 0-12 after 4 ends and eventually down 7-24 although starting playing some decent bowls but Keith Launt and Sam T (Springwood) played pretty good bowls. 2nd game against Warren Heingier and Gary Bishop (Cleveland) we were behind most of the game and a 4 on the last end saw us home with a well earnt victory 14-13. 3rd and final game against the team Brian and Ron from Victoria Point, with 2 Wins, We beat them 13-11 with a fine performance and we all 4 played great bowls in the conditions. Brian used my SRS for the 2nd and 3rd games and went well with a drawing bowl. i Like Spingwood but will think twice about playing here again in the rain.
Brian Lamb and I today on the Carpet. trying to Qualify for Sundays Final.

Sam Granata and I were supposed to be playing Pairs but the rain made it Fours and Triples. Against my better Judgement I played Triples. Don Henson, Ken Shaw and Myself against Toby, Malcolm and Sam Granata. We went down 15-41. Opposition played very well and we did not... Simple.. In future No Pairs, No Play.
Car Auctions in Brisbane Today.
Latif and I played against Mal Ford and Bob Humes on a Damp slow green. Even Bobby had trouble reaching until it sped up a little. We won 31-22 in a good game and we played pretty well especially early and had a far bigger lead than we finished with but you know Bob, Hardly ever gives away the Money.
Latif and I played here today. 1st game against Ron Lee and Barry Henry. I led really well and had the bowls actually too close as being a wet slow green, Barry drove almost every end and picked up many shots when we were constantly holding. We went down 5-8 but it was a good game. 2nd game I skipped and Latif led well this time. We played Kevin Kennedy and Woody. We got 3 ends in and were 12-0 up before the rain came and it was all off for the day. I hate Rain.... Stuffed a good 2nd game for sure.
A MUST WIN today against Kingscliff at Cabarita Beach. All 3 Rinks or its all over for us. Playing at 1pm and if its no rain, Green should be a little quicker than yesterday.
*************************************************************************************************************** Great effort by all the Boys. We won 5-1 and gave ourselves a chance for the Flag but there is a Dark Horse loomed up on the outside. Ocean Shores beat Condong today and go ahead of both Kingscliff and Cabarita and a 6-0 win next week at home to Condong again will see them pip us no matter what happens to us against Kingscliff; Today our side, Josh Mills, Brian Lamb, Myself third today and Latif played Ian Taylors side. We had a sea-saw game but ended up winning 23-21 on the last end. Some great bowls played all day and I was very happy with my game. Dereks side won 24-12 although dropped a 6 when we dropped a 4 and put us all under pressure towards the end. A great win by them though. Glen Searles side had a narrow loss and a great effort to go down on the last end and lost over all by 18-25 after dropping a 3 although we had it safe by then. Today we are at home to Pottsville. 3 games to go and MUST win all to win the Flag. Slow Wet greens will not suit our team but we should still get up today at least. 1 Skip Down as Geoff Westall away for the weekend.
Richard Allen, Myself, Brian Lamb and Latif went down 13-22 against Richard Scotts team. We never really played that well and Richard Scott made some good conversions. Dereks side won 22-14 after a slow start and a great effort by them to put us in a winning position. Glen Searle side won 20-19 and secured a 2 on the last end to win the Rink and to get us a draw overall. 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 Points and keeps us in with a chance providing we beat Kingscliff in the next 2 games by 6-0 and 6-0. We have under acheived this year. We had the players but have not managed to play well enough to be in a comanding position to chjallenge for the Top position. Anyway tomorrow will tell as we are at home to Kingscliff. Phil Capon and I to play here today providing weather is okl;. Rain forcast for today and weekend.
Bowls was Cancelled as Rained All Day. John McLean and I played Indoor today against John Bennett and Don Henson. John Bennett played really welkl with his tight powers and Don, now using a steadying stick had wonderful line most of the day with his Super-Grips but weight was a bit off but was a good game and we won 23-14. John still sore in the Knee and is back with Bob Brown next week.
