Playaing against Sandgate., Not sure where I will be in Trial as I only let them know this last 2 days that I was available and sides already picked.
******************************************************************************************************************* I skipped a side. Dick Bible, Steve Miller and Barry Jackson. They all played lovely Bowls and was a pleasure to play with them. We got a 7 and 3 on 1st 2 ends. Held the lead all the way against a determined Dale from Sandgate, We won our rink 26-17 although they did close the game to 3 shots towards the end before we skipped away again. A few key players missing from the Trials but should be a good season if all the guys played like My team today. Well done.. Weather better and tried to get a game at Helensvale in the Morning but they were full. Latif and I decided to have a 3 hour roll up at McKenzie Park. A good hard session and felt really fluent. Must get a set of wider bowls though for these slow wet greens., Latifs SRs are Perfect.
No Bowls at this stage unless someone at Paradise Point rings me for a game but then again it looks like rain and I don't want to play in the rain and NOT playing Fours Indoors.
Latif and I going to try and get a game here today. His last morning game as his work shifts have changed.
I rang early and all booked out and 4 teams on stand by. When I got there, They had 1 rink spare. Weather was iffy anyway and rained on and off during morning and cold so glad I never played anyway. Turned out a nice day in afternoon through. John North, Myself and Latif today in 1st Rd of Mens Championship Triples against Ken Doolins side. We should have a good win but can never be sure against seasoned Bowlers who never give up. At least the weather is fine for a change.
******************************************************************************************************************** A totally uninspiring game. Bill McKenzie, Pat Clancy and Ken Doolin took us on and almost caused an upset. They played the conditions far better than us. John and I were pretty ragged and Latif played some important shots to keep us in the game early. I could not get motivated. Slow greens and very windy but we got through and thats what mattered. We were 17-17 after 21 ends but came home ton win 17-26 when we actually concentrated. We play Tom Hunter in next round probably Friday Morning which will free us up for Pennant Trial Saturday at McKenzie Park. Last Day off for a while as some serious Bowls coming up in the next 5 weeks.
Went down the Indoor at Paradise Point for an Hours Roll Up with Phil Capon. Had a good game of Singles and won 11-9 but good roll up and played well. Ready for Triples at Caba tomorrow. Still a wet weekend so no bowls for me this weekend.
Providing the weather settles. John North, Myself and Latif play Ken Doolins side today in 1st Rd.
******************************************************************************************************************* Ken Rang and it's rained off today. Have to rearrange for another day. Its a pain arranging 6 players with some who work. Might try and get a game down the Indoor today. Could not even do that as it was booked out. Nice quiet day. |
