A Quiet day today….
No Bowls Today but rains forecast for next 8 days so no decision made about Hamilton Power PAIRS on Sunday yet although they need 2 teams, More than likely be filled or cancelled depending on the weather or lack of extra teams.

Mel Aligich and I had a Good Tough game against Alan Brough and Sam Granata today for a 26-23 win.
Started slowly on the slower Paradise Green and dropped a 4,1 and 1 before getting a 4 back. Down 4-13 after 7 ends and looking like on the way to a drubbing before getting a 4 and a 5 to tie at 13-13. End to end stuff after that and some great bowls dispite dropping 2 more 4's along the way. Mel and I kept us in it and ended up playing some crackers for our great win. Sam struggled with the cross breeze and tricky green and seemed to have lost his confidence in the green and his normal cool draw and on shots. Alan and Sam play off Sunday in the Champion of Champion PAIRS Final at Musgrave and I am sure they will play better on the quicker greens there with their normal flair and ability also they won't have to play a Wild Card like me, a More conventional Pairs I am sure. Anyway Good Luck to them but Certainly enjoyed the game with Mel today here. Vince Beckley and I had a fun game on the top green. Started well with a 4 and then found ourselves down 5-13 after 10 ends although always within reach. We played Keith Bryant and Ray Stein and it was the 19th end when we actually hit the lead and won the game 23-15 with some good bowls at the end. We held numerous shots throughout but they played some good bowls to keep us in our place. Good Days Bowls and Vince XGs are probably the best set I have played with or against. Tighter than others I have seen.
Latif at South Tweed Classic Pairs so I Cancelled out at Broadbeach today but may yet play as I will be down there in the Morning and if they need a played I will play, if not a nice quiet day.
******************************************************************************************************************** Quiet Day out of the Window as Mel Alagich asked me to play with his partner as Mel had a hard day yesterday. Look forward to it as I have to go to Broadbeach anyway and may sweat out my cold…. ****************************************************************************************************************** Played with a nice Guy from Melboure who was 89 years old. Played against Beth Woodbury and Len Nairu. Green ran well and we never had much Luck (lol). Won 26-13 but were lucky to stay in game early when they played really well and we were down heaps but I managed to save each time or sneak shot. Always managed to do that when playing Len.. Was a good days bowls and played well. NEWSFLASH FROM BROADBEACH BOWLS CLUB They announced today that Mar Waitai and Scott DeJongh won the Tornament over the weekend but 2 guys from Paradise Point, Ralph Hunt (Defending International W.B Champion) and Red Edwards (Up and Coming W B Champion) were in good stead with Red having 4 Wrong Bias. Just as well Erwin is away or he would be upset. Once again this event clashes with everything else. Broadbeach, South Tweed and Stradbroke. If everyone got together it would make it so much easier.
Anyway. I pulled out of Broadbeach and playing here with John McVinish and will be a fun day I am sure. looking forward to it., ****************************************************************************************************************** John McVinish and I played pretty well all day for our 2nd place today just a few shots behind the winners Norm Broadhurst. They were leading us by 5 after Round 2 but we only won last game by 3 and then by 5 so they beat us on margin. 1st game we played John Bennett and Greg Hamilton and had a good win 17-8. 2nd game a great win 29-3 against Neil Sharpe and Alex Saebar. 3rd game against Leif Andersen and Warren Mills. Won 15-12 but lost last 3 ends which cost us the overall win I reckon. Millsie drew some crackers to the Ditch and I narrowly missed with the drives to remove them. One event of the Day …. I had a wrong Bias but don't mention it. Brownie was beside me and I am sure it was his fault that it happened. I was watching all his short bowls and it distracted me. Must have been planned I reckon. Great Days Bowls and John McVinish played some Great Bowls today. I certainly will not take him lightly if I have to play against him in any competiton. It should be also noted that we had absolutely No Luck Whatsoever. Just ask our opposition. lol... Arranged a Trip today to Murwullimbah with The Wife to check out the Nurserys and Fresh Food Produce as Missed out on the Broadbeach Blue Ribbon 2 Day PAIRS as Partner could not play 2 Days and I could not be bothered trying to find a Skip at the last minute.
So Much on this weekend and I am not involved. Will go to Broadbeach early anyway as I have to pick up some bowls to sell for someone. Will try and get a game in Paradise Point Enduro Monday if I can get a partner but currently full up. See what happens. ******************************************************************************************************************* Playing Monday Paradise Point with John McVinish so look forward to that. Had a Great Day today in Northern N.S.W at Uki… A place I would never had dreamed I would go to. P.S. Don't try to find a decent place to eat there though on a Sunday. Will be at Southport Bowls Club from 12.30pm til 1.00pm ish seeing people
Looks like I won't be bowling much over the next few days. I Never entered Paradise Point ENDURO Monday as I was entered in Sunday and Monday Blue Ribbon PAIRS with Brian Lamb but Brian has to work so I decided to pull out completely. Never entered South Tweed Classic 3 Day PAIRS Either. I will be going to Broadbeach Sunday to see if anyone does not turn up but not playing with just anyone. Will lead for a Good skip if needed other wise will try and get in Enduro as always looking for someone last minute. See what happens…. Playing Lead for Tony Edwards today as Phil Capon can't make it. Look forward to it but Greens will be slowish as rained Wednesday.
***************************************************************************************************************** Had a good fun game against Noel Buckingham and Bryan Lumby (Tasmania). Was a very close game all the way and ended up an 18-18 draw but we had chance to draw for the win but Tony was a bit heavy with his last bowl but very difficult conditions with swirling wind from side to side. Good Result anyway. No Bowls Today but will be at Southport Bowls Club at 12.30pm.
No Bowls Today but Bowls Business at Southport…
