Ralph Had a Wrong Bias again. !! Bob Brown has fixed that problem. He just brought a set of bowls with No Bias !!!!!
Grant Osborne and I played Mark Vogler and Merv Austin. We all played pretty well and we ended up winning 25-11 thanks for 5 successive ends when things were close towards the end although we always just edged them but you know bowls, I bad end can change a game. Happily we played well together and look forward to a good 7 months bowls with Grant, If he can stand me for that long.

Will visit Broadbeach this morning as have to pick up some bowls and pay people for Bowls sold. Then I am off shopping for more stuff for renovations.
Grant Osborne and I for another successful season (We hope). Grant Back from great success in the UK. He will have great success on the 5 second green at Paradise Point too. !! Today we start with the All Day Indoor Enduro Mens Pairs.
****************************************************************************************************************** A disappointing day in all I suppose but it was Grants 1st day on a quick green and he played ok and got stronger as the day went on. I was a bit scratchy in the 1st 2 games for sure. 1st game against Red Edwards and Adam Taylor. Adam was dynamite early with numerous draws and trails that saw us down heaps early. We fought hard and got back into the game with a 6 and led 14-12. Unfortunatly we dropped a 6 next end when i was in 2 minds and played a half hearted shot. We ended up losing 14-20 in a game we should have probably won after the come back. All in all though they played very well as other results for them saw 3 wins with a big win over Ron Lewis and Ted Reid which is always hard to do. Our 2nd game against Kim Harlow and Erwin A. Once again we dropoed a 5 1st end and were chasing the whole game. They drew well and we did not. We ended up down 8-23 but could have been closer but I was chasing shots on 3rd last end to give us a chance and holding 2 we ended up 3 down. Lose by 1 or 40 it is still a loss in my book. 3rd and final game against the leaders Alan Brough and Sam Granata with a 30 shot margin over their 2 games. Grant and I played very well in this one and had the game won at 12-10 until the last end when they had 3 splendid bowls in front of jack which we could not connect with to remove or cut down and we dropped a 3. Down 12-13 on the last end. Ok.. Thats our trial games. We will be serous and hard to be over 21 ends on Thursday mornings. Grant will be with it and I had better be too. Spare day today to go and look for stuff for the apartment overhaul.
We are at home to Burleigh Heads today. Should be quick greens and interesting with the wind too. No Idea where I am playing but reckon they should give Wayne Marshall a go at Skip again. I would love to play 3rd to him. 3 weeks to go Pennant - Thank God For that.
******************************************************************************************************************* Hooray.... We won all 3 Rinks. Our side, Dion Walker, Laurie Whitely, Wayne Marshall and Myself (Skip) We played against Graeme Shillingtons side. Was a good game and we handled the windy fast conditions better than Burleigh. We won our Rink 25-16 and we ALL bowled well. Chris Hoopers side had a good win against Bobby Marrin side 27-16 and Ethan Lord side won 27-20 against Ian Laws side. Overall a great day for us and shows with a bit of luck and good greens we can compete with a competitive side. 2 more wins are needed now to ensure we survive division 1 this year. Next week we are at home to Beenleigh and then we are away to Paradise Point. Brian Lamb and I want to Qualify for Sundays Finals. Lets see if we can.
***************************************************************************************************************** Horrid windy day here and was very hard to play good bowls.Greens were not that quick either and was a very cold wind. I was Lead as usual for Brian again. 1st game against Keith Farrelly (Broadbeach) and Max Jeffrey (South Tweed) . Was a good game which fluctuated from side to side and ended in a good Draw which kept us both in the hunt for a section win. 2nd game against Bob Montgomery and Gary Rendall (Brunswick Heads). A game that could have gone either way. Brian and I struggled on this green and although we had enough shots at times to win easily, it was Gary who made some really good shots to save and they ended up winning 10-14 on the last end. 3rd game I skipped and wind dropped and was a better game. We played Graham Scotcher and David Fell (Alstonville). Had a good win 21-6. Both of us played very well but could neither win the section. Played it for fun. Good Lunch too here. Keith and Max lost on the last end to Bob and Gary when they had a draw so Bob and Gary go through to play off Sunday. We have a free day. Thank God for that if it is going to be that windy again. Phil Capon still Cruising so I am filling in with Tony Edwards. Win last week and will try hard again today but hope we do not get the Slow Green.
****************************************************************************************************************** Tony Edwards and I played Roberto Dela'michio and Red Edwards. We had a very good close hard game. We were 0-7 down after 3 ends as these guys are experts at long ends. We won an end and went short and got back to 7-7. From there it was a good tight game with different lengths every end. We won 6 ends straight with 1's and then lost a 2 and 3 to bring us back close but we eventually won 21-18 in a good tight finish. Roberto and Red played very well and no wrong Boas today. In fact I was very impressed with Reds thinking and draw shots and certainly will never take him lightly (as i never have anyway but more so now). We even won 3rd (Lucky winners prize) Final day off before 5 days of Bowls ahead. Looking forward to all the (PAIRS) Games anyway.
