Daily Diary - Cabarita Beach Club Championship Mens Pairs Semi Final - Saturday 30th June 20126/29/2012 Latif and I play our hardest match today against Mick Morgan and Derek Hopps. Should be a hell of a Semi Final and fitting for a Final not just a Semi Final. Slow greens after 3 days solid rain this week. Thank God its Cabarita and the greens will have some run on them.
We lost 19-22. A very good game which changed many times. We all played good bowls but Mick and Derek just got the edge on the last few ends. Latif was a bit off with his drives but the green was very tricky. Was not quick and had a shifty breeze., Green ran well if you could judge the breeze. Good luck to them in the Final. They deserved their win today. Waiting for Rain to clear for Tomorrow Club Championship at Cabarita. Wont play again today. certainly can't be bothered with slow Helensvale Greens after 2 days of rain.
Rain forecast so no plans made. Just as well as Cold and Wet, Should Clear for Weekend.
Car Service today so a day Off.
Abdul Latif and I had 2 Top hard games today and Won 2nd Money. 1st game against Barry Venner and Ian Crabb was very tight and ends shared but we managed to graft out a 9-7 win over the 11 ends. 2nd game was even harder and all 4 of us played well. Down 1-5 after 3 ends we came back to win 13-8. Greens running 16+ and windy but was nice to see some speed. Wont last though as rain forecast for rest of the week.
Lamby and I head off again, A bit stiffer than this time yesterday, Windy and cooler today.
A Great day for us again. 1st game against Sean Baker and Steven Tong. Down 1-11 after 5 ends We came back well when they relaxed and got close enough to cause an upset except for those bloody Size 3 Edge Factors of Lambys. We went down 13-19. Thats the last daylight those bowls will see from lamby. 2nd and 3rd game he borrowed a set of Alphas from Sean Baker. 2nd game we played Steve / Scooby and Brad Collins (Broadbeach) and had a win 21-6. 3rd game against Miles and Martin Seckington (Hamilton) we won 24-8. We played very well. We won High Game in 2nd game today so that was good. To top it off Lamby brought the Alphas from Sean Baker and then had the nerve to win a new set of Aeros in the Raffle.. He can sell them to pay for the probable $350 speeding fine he picked up in the morning on the way to the club. 2 Day Event, Should be a good tournament and 24 teams entered. Brian Lamb and I
Very tiring day but Hamilton Club rebuilt and looks brilliant, Greens ran well, Ours did anyway as on the same one all day. 3 good games. 1st against Richard (Deception Bay) and Mitch Hewson (Pine Rivers), We played very well for our 21-19 win, Almost blew it when we dropped a 6 towards the end, Held on well and both played well. 2nd game against Roland Bonce and Bernie Carroll. we had a strong 20-9 win, 3rd game against John (Pine Rivers) and Jamie Smith (Wynnum Manly) who had beaten Sean Baker in the 1st game. We played brilliantly and led 16-9 with 3 ends to go, Dropped, Yes you guessed it, a 6, Then a 3 and we ended up going down 16-20 and let them off the hook as they had 2 wins too, and now its 3. Over all a very strong field here and delighted to be so competitive,. Tomorrow a different story but will be trying hard and try and 5 from 6 but don't count on it Brian still struggling with the new Fat Edge factors and as soon as he gets his old bowls back the better for all of us. Might get the prize for the Best Winging player today if not... Brian Lamb and I used this as Practice for the next 2 day event at Hamilton. 2 Games 13 Ends.
1st game against Larry and Rowan Norris. First 2 ends were disaster and dropped a 1 and 5. We settled and got a 1 and 5 so all square. We won 9 ends before dropping a 6 on a very short end but ended up winning 18-13. Greens ran well and lovely weather, 2nd game against Marylin and Bob Stubbs from the travelling South Toowoomba Bowls club. We won 26-4 in a good game by both of us as they made us work for it. Some mismatched sides here today saw some Big margins but 34 teams enjoyed the day and the hospitality of Condong. We won 2nd game High game so that was good. |
