Eric Judd and I finally got another game together. We had a good game and both played pretty well against Stephen (Blocker) DeJohgn and Paul Staggard. We went down on the last end in a thrilling game 21-23. Almost drew the game with a run shot, taking out the 2 shots bowls but ran through 1 Ft more than required. Very happy with my game under difficult windy and cold conditions on rain effected green which still ran very well.
Brian Lamb and I came 3rd here today - Horrid Rainy start to the day and we played in it the 1st game but it ended up not too bad but very windy and cold in afternoon Game. Great Day Though, Should be more of them here. 3 games, 1st 2x2x2x2 2nd 2x4x2 and 3rd 2 bowl Pairs.
1st game against Pat and Alan Ashman. We won 16-6 . Pat, a newish Bowler, struggled in the conditions but Alan made some telling shots to nick 5 ends from us in the 1st 11 end game shortened by the rain. 2nd game against Lawrie Muller and Barry Matherson we won 14-8 in a good tussell. Incredible isnt it, I played them last week in Social Pairs here and end up playing again today. We all played pretty well but we got up 8 ends to 5. 3rd and final game against Lee Burrows and Bert Kent we won 34-7 and 14 of the 21 ends. Tried for more but although they struggled in the wind, found their way for numerous shots. A good day anyway and 3rd place. Both played pretty well in the Conditions. I was lead. After Club Champ Pairs this morning we went straight into Social Pairs in the afternoon here too with Abdul..
1st game against Warren Chapman and Ken Doolan. A good win 12-6 (7 ends) and played ok but a bit flat after morning performance. Still, 1st game for winners and losers. 2nd game against Mick Morgan and Jim Stewart, We had another good win 15-5 (9 ends). Not enough for the money though. Good hard day of bowls and played pretty well all day. Abdul and Myself play Jimmy Cook and Mario Azzopardi. We will have a good game I am sure as Mario also played slow greens yesterday and will feel nice being on quicker greens today.
We had a very good game and all played good bowls. Certainly different to yesterday, We won 27-10 but score never indicated the game. We started well up 3-0 after 2 end but holding 4 shots, Abdul with his last bowl played a lovely shot just over weight and we went down 1 with a tiny trail of the Jack. We were down 3-7 before we started to play real bowls We had our normal share of luck that you get with running weight, 11 wicks in all Mario reckons and he'd be about right. All well deserved of course. (No Luck). Jimmy and Mario played pretty well but Abdul and I were determined to win after yesterdays performance in the Districts. We play Semi Final 9th July Was looking forward to this one. A few from Caba chosen, Glenn Searle, Abdul Latif, Charles Klaverstyn, Mario Azzapardi and Myself.
We played against the 3 districts in what was a Very Long Day. I left home at 5.20am and arreived home again at 8pm. Very slow greens and the morning game it was freezing cold although warmed up in the afternoon. We lost our 1st game 7-16 against Northern Rivers although we never had much luck either. I played 3rd to Abdul Latif. John (Ocean Shores) and Harry (Ocean Shores) Were lead and 2nd. 2nd game we won 15-11 against Richard Latta Clarence River side. We all played pretty well. 3rd game we should have won but tiredness and slow greens caused all but Abdul to be constantly short. Trying to draw was hard for everyone today although no excuse,. We lost 12-14 which was disapointing. Overall a good day but would not want this day trip too often. Kevin Watson and I played Peter Solomon (W.A) and John McLean and had a good win 24-14. Should have been more but we went to sleep 1/2 way through the game. Peter struggled most of the game after coming off W.A Synthetic greens a lot quicker than these. John, Tryint new grips also was not his normal self and we had an easy win. Good fun afternoon in the sun anyway. Good warm up for District stuff tomorrow at Yamba.
Phil Capon and I in our 1st game had a great win 19-3 against Graeme Smith and Alec Dickman on the #1 Green which ran pretty well. 2nd game on the Top SLOW Green we played Charlie Fearnes and Steve Cummings and we both struggled on it and went down 10-15. Good weather but disapointintg 2nd game.
Seeing as I am playing here next Wednesday in the All dayer with Brian Lamb, I thought I might play here today. Managed to get a game with Brian Wilkinson, A visitor from Melbourne. We played well together and had a good hard win 17-12 against Laurie Muller (McKenzie Park) and Barry Matherson (Ex Tweed Now Mermaid Beach). Was a good game with some great bowls by all of us. Greens ran well. My Lead, Brian played very well and made it easy for me and I played a good attacking game.
