Home Game Today V Burleigh Heads. Round 3 Division 1.
Rain Forecast, Overcast. Will be Good Game and Hope we can get our First win today after 2 close defeats last weekends double header. I am Playing 2nd Today again but in Caine Burns Rink... ***************************************************************************************************************** Another Good Strong Effort by Southport but we just could not get over the line. We all 3 Rinks Started slowly and the Big Board had us down 3-24 after about 8 ends. Hawkeye was down 3-17 against Scott DeJongh, We were down 1-9 against Gary Pearson and Alan Elliott down 2-6 against Ian Law, We all came back strongly and our Rink came back to Lead 14-13 after 14 ends but Great Result from Gary Pearsons shots cost us a heap of shots in mid stages and They came home strongly to beat us 19-25. Very Happy with My Game on the Slow Wet Green. Dave Cooke was Lead, I was 2nd, Chris Firth 3rd and Caine Burns Skip.. Hawkeyes Side came back well but went down in the end 18-27.. Alan Elliott Side won 20-11 but could not get a big enough lead to carry us home. We tried to stay with our Opponents but dispite counting Bowls, They managed some Great Conversions to win well. I miss next week as on Holidays which I am Pissed off about as I tried to arrange holiday so as t get back Saturday Morning but could not get tour I wanted so get back Monday. Half way through Winter.. I am Not Bowling today but will be at Helensvale Bowls Club 8.30am til 8.50am and then Paradise Point from 9.15am til 9.20am. After that a quiet day in doors in the warm as Glad I am not bowling today as its too cold.. Prepare for Pennant Round 3 tomorrow at home to Burleigh Heads... Hat of The Day
Me, 12 Months ago at Port Macquarie Pairs. 2 Degrees at 8.30am. Southport All Day Pairs on Today but I have "The Sydnrome" so won't be bowling.
I will however be at Paradise Point 8.15am til 9.00am on Bowls Business… After that Who Knows… There are plenty Bowls today but promised my Sons we would go to the Motor Auctions as he wants to buy another Vehicle.. Went to Auctions and saw a Few but nothing striking. At least we have an Idea of What he wants now.. ******************************************************************************************************************* Hat of The Day
Alex Sabar (The Tiger) Helensvale Latif and I played Terresa Chalker and Chris Mitchell (Visitors) and had a good 33-8 Win.. Terresa struggled on the slowish Green with her older bowls. She is used to playing with SRVs on Carpet so was a shock with her old Greenmaster WB13's. Chris had no help and was down most ends but played some good bowls without much luck. We had +25 and still no prize money. 49 Won it… Always hard here… ***************************************************************************************************************** Hat of The Day
John Bailey (Bails) Tweed Heads Alan Elliott and I had 3 good games today. I skipped and Played fair but not well... 1st game against Bromwyn Cowie and Dawson Cowie and had a good win 19-13 although dropped a 5 when we were up 8-0. Also gave away last end when we were holding. 2nd game against Ian Erskine and Vince Beckley on the Top Tricky Green. We Had a Good win 18-8. 3rd game as 2 game winners we come up against Ray Mcmahon and Bob (Robert) Brown. Ray and Bobby Thrashed in their first game by Bruce Wallace dropping an 8. Ray Led very well and Bob Played some Bombs with his New Whitelines. I Dropped a 5 on the 4th end with indecision of shot and they shot away and although we played some good bowls mid stages we just never had the luck needed and we went down 8-15 in a good hard game. Probably the Last game I will skip for Alan… Had Fun Though... Hat of the Day
Phil Arakelian (Paradise Point) Daily Diary - Paradise Point V Southport Pennant Division 1 Round 2 - Sunday 10th July 20167/9/2016 Bowling at 12,00 Noon at paradise Point. No Idea why so late., Stuffs a whole day up. At least the Greens will be a fraction quicker I hope. Great Effort by the Southport Guys yesterday to go so close to Broadbeach but see how we go today against Paradise Point after their good win at Tweed Heads. **************************************************************************************************************** Hat(s) of the Day Warren (Millsie) Mills - Southport We played in Glorious Conditions at Paradise Point and the Greens Ran Very Well.
Southports Caine Burns Rink had a 17-3 Lead and team playing excellent bowls albeit with some Good Fortune against Sam Whites Side but Sams side came back to snatch Victory on the Last Bowl of the Game 21-20. Great Effort Though Southport. Southports Geoff Hawkins Side also had a ding dong battle against Eric Johanas Side to just go down 16-17…. Our Side, Adam Taylor, Myself, Millsie and Peter Elder had a good tussle against Adam Liddells side and were 11-12 going into the last 4 ends when we just could not hold shots we had and eventually went down 11-19 chasing to get the 6 required with 2 ends to go to win overall.. Another Strong Effort by Southport just falling short. Alan Elliott never played today either which was a pity as we need our strongest side out there at ALL Times.. Not Playing this game but watching to see how the Guys go in their first big game against a really tough opponent. Broadbeach. BY THE WAY… CHECK OUT MY NEW PAGE UNDER more… "BOWLERS AND THEIR HATS" I WILL TRY TO GET THE FUNNY ONES BUT THATS ALL AT THE MOMENT... Usually when playing a game I glance around and see the various Hats People wear and how they wear them and thought it would be funny to see some of them. I reckon that once they see their Photos they will buy new Hats… Anyway Back to Bowls Diary……… ****************************************************************************************************************** Great Effort by Southport Division 1 Went down 2 1/2 to 1/2 Rink. Ryan Bester and Alan Elliott had 17-17 Draw Caine Burns went down to Kevin Anderson 16-22 and dropped 2 x 4's Geoff Hawkens went down16-25 after leading 9-0 and dropped a 6. I think we are going to be competitive and with a bit of luck could have been closer today. I watched Ryan Bester and Sean Ingham rink against Alan Elliotts Side with their accuracy in Killing ends and On Shots and Incredible Drawing Shots. They are Champion Bowlers/\. I Must Say Millsie Impressed me with his drawing today. Adam Taylor Led well and Alan Elliott as usual played some Bombs. Peter Elder strggled a bit but also played some good shots. Was a checking game. Hat of the Day
