Daily Diary - NSW Zone Division 2 Pennant Zone Play off at Brunswick Heads - Saturday 21st June 20146/19/2014 We play East Lismore Today. If we win today we go to State Play offs. Greens should be good and we are all fired up although not everything is hunky dory in the minds of some of the players. You know what its like with pennant, Selectors, Players etc. Well This club no different. See How we go. Will be trying. ******************************************************************************************************************* We are on our way to Port Macquarie in August for NSW State Pennant Finals after a brilliant 93-45 win today against East Lismore at Brunswick Heads.
Jamie Smith team had a good draw 21-21. Scott DeJongh team had a 36-12 Win and Abdul Latifs (Our Side) won 36-12. We all played very well. Great Effort Guys and looking forward to States, Shame it clashes with Broadbeach Blue Ribbon PAIRS and also Gold Coast Pennant weekend but won't affect me as I am not playing Gold Coast pennant. To many other PAIRS events on in NSW. Latif and I playing here today in the Pairs as we want final practice before we play our Zone Final Tomorrow at Brunswick Heads. See How we go. Long time since I played at Helensvale and looking forward to seeing some old mates.
***************************************************************************************************************** 1st game against John Philips and Henry Hardy we played well on nice running green for a 20-5 win in out 9 ends. 2nd game we never had it all our own way on other green which played a little slower but still ok. Played Tony Pedley and Lee. Fought until the last and were down by 2 on last end and managed to squeeze a 5 on the last end to win 13-10 over the 13 ends. Some good bowls played by Tony and Lee but we scrapped home. No Money today just good practice on quicker running greens which we will need for tomorrow at Brunswick Heads. John McLean away so Bob Brown asked me to fill it today. We played Merv Cobb and Alan Grossett and had a ripper of a game. Was nice to get back to Skipping after so long leading. Bob Led very well and was there nearly all day and I played pretty well too, drawing well and getting most upshots as we beat our gallant opposition 21-11. We had a bit of Luck and as normal the chasing team fine holes and don't get the luck.
Bob and I playing in South Tweed 3 dayer in August together so that will be good if we play like we did today. In Passing, There were 2 Wrong Bias today,. Jeff Mearns and Guess Who. Spocky !!!! No Bowls Today but visit to Southport as have to pay some people for bowls I sold and see others. Wife off work so might go to Bingo too… Such Fun……..
******************************************************************************************************************* No Luck on Bingo (As Usual) . Won $2 on Pokies and got a Free Lunch each so that was good. Latif and I played Eric Judd and John Campbell today and managed a good win 33-14. Green was holding a little as in the shadows but we managed to master it better than Eric and John for a good win.
You can Insert your outdoor Greens today. Bowling Indoor on something that actually runs without a full drive. No point playing on slow crap when the weekend at Brunswick it will be pretty fast.
****************************************************************************************************************** Latif and I today played very well. 1st game against Trish and Ernie was a good 15-10 win over the 15 ends. 2nd game against Roy Ward and Tony Johnson (Southbank) we had another thriller but won 16-6 for 2nd Money. Great days Bowls and Practice for the weekend. Southport Prawn Pairs Today.
Shame I won't be there but it is such a good day but I have other Plans for today. Sorted out My New Bowls Bag as other one the Zips broke. Watched Soccer Morning. 3 skips not available for Division 2 Trials also greens Very slow as rainy weather. In my opinion total waste of time today. Next feel at Brunwwick Heads greens will be 5 seconds quicker and will be certainly playable.
I will NEVER trial again. If people want me to play Pennant, I will play but Trials are a total waste of time. Supposed to be Selectors watching today. NOT 1 Watching. They were playing. Please…... If they don't know how people play, Too bad. Looking forward to ZONE Finals next weekend at Brunswick. We will go well if Teams are all together as we played in Pennant. We play East Lismore Saturday. Not Sure who we play Sunday. I know I certainly won't be playing Pennant on Gold Coast this Year. Why bother playing 4's when there are so many Pairs competitions going. What does Pennant Mean apart from Arguments, Discontented bowlers. People going on Holidays. etc etc… Over it all…. Round 2 Club Fhampionship Singles against Bill Parr 9.30am.
Slow Green but games went ahead dispute overcast band drizzled Won 31-9 against Bill in a good game. Played well. |
