I am filling in for Bob Browns Partner today. Played against John Partridge and Noel Ridgewell. Thrilling game and we were behind all the way, just enough to foil us in the end although I could have won it with the last bowl. Down 17-21, holding 5 on the last end before Noel got 3rd shot. I had a difficult tight shot to remove it and was a fraction wide. Managed a 3 and went down 20-21. Some good shots played and Bob got his new bowls and played a few ends with them and they seem ok. Dreamline XG's.
Latif back from Holidays so to get him into form for next weekends Champion Of Champion Fours play offs at Byron Bay Sunday.
1st game against Kevin and Bob (Pottsville). We both played pretty well and won 12-8 although Kevin and Bob were hard to put away and we only done it on last end. Slow Wet Greens with High swirly winds made it interesting. 2nd game against Mick Morgan and Jim Stewart we won 14-11 in another good hard game. We all played well. Good day but no prize money. Latif done well after 6 weeks no bowls. Nothing much on anywhere today so another rest day.
Brian Lamb and I both had a day where there was nothing on so looking for a good comp. Where else Saturday afternoon? SOUTHPORT

Played pretty well as Lead as Brian Skipped. Grant Osborne and I played Indoor against Jeff Mearns and Ralph Hunt and had a great game and win 27-12.
