I am filling in today with Phil Capon so should be fun although I ache after 3 hard days of bowls.
***************************************************************************************************************** Social Bowls who needs it? Also in Howling wind. 1st game against Ray Trewern and Sam Granata. Down 3-10 and came back to 10-10 but lost on ends dispute holding game before Sams Last Bowl. 2nd game against Leo and Wally Kemp. Lost 9-13 again hard to play a shot. Anyway bit of fun…. Debatable if Ralph had a Wrong Bias. There were a few shouts but Brownie was not there to confirm !!!!!!!! Brian Lamb and I, 3rd Big Day and hope we do well. We are both bowling pretty well at present.
**************************************************************************************************************** We picked the card and drew 2 games on the Indoor. We never handled it that well in the Qualifiers and hoped for better today. 1st game on the Indoor against Peter Thompson and Theo H… I played pretty well so Did Peter but it was Theo who was the telling player. We lost 9-20 and dropped 2 Fours at vital times. Unfortunatly Brian lost a bit of confidence with his bowls and played a couple of Rash shots when Draws were called for. Anyway…. 2nd game outside against Ron Boucher and Peter Elder.. Seeing as you have too win 3 games to get money, We had both been beaten so the rest of the day was a fun day. We got a 5 and 6 on 1st 2 ends and were up 15-3 after 4 ends. Played ok but chatting never helped me much and we ended up losing on last end and went down 20-21. 3rd game I skipped Indoor. Brian Led well and I played well too.. Played against Gary and Anthony from Springwood and we won 21-16. Good fun but disappointed it clashed with Paradise Point Enduro.. This event is 2 teams of 4 playing against all the other Clubs from the District in a yearly event we won 2 years ago when I skipped a rink and so did Maurie Penfold. I am playing 3rd today to Brian Lamb, Mick Morgan Lead and John Turner 2nd. Other side is Skipped by Marki Howarde so we should give it a shake again today. **************************************************************************************************************** Todays Game. Above the picture of me holding the IGT Cup.
Our side Mick Morgan, John Turner, Myself and Brian Lamb had 3 great games and 3 great wins. 16-12 against Mullumbimbi, 23-12 against Bangalow. 31-5 against Burringbah. We all played very well but Lamby was exceptional with his latest set of Bowls, Taylor Redline SR WB17's. Best he's played since getting rid of his Powers 3 years ago. FINALLY He has confidence again. Mark Howarde won 2 from 3 but unfortunately lost the first game. There was a mess up with the cards and teams played other teams they were not supposed to and the way they worked out the points we ended up runners up with 5 wins from 6 +38 and Byron Bay were declared winners on 5 Wins + 44. Great Day. Good Lunch and Good Bowls. Only Fours Comp I will play in. Brian Lamb and I will try and Qualify for Mondays Finals at Mount Gravatt…
We have todays Fill. There is also tomorrows but I am bowling else where… *************************************************************************************************************** 1st game outdoor against Tim Watts and Bill Dransfield from Mt Gravatt We won 31-2. Playe Very well again opposition that struggled on the day. 2nd game on the New Indoor Carpet against Ray Wall and Bruce Black from Mt Gravatt we were beaten 13-23 as the locals were too good and drawing bowls they had against our tight ones paid off for them. Disapointed and will have to do better Monday when we play in the finals as we will get at least 1 game indoors. Running about 3 seconds quicker than Paradise Point. 3rd game outdoors again against Wayne Dangerfield and Roger Pieucki fron Mt Gravatt again we won 22-12. Good days bowls and we qualified for Mondays finals. Quiet day at home. Car in for Big Service, Timing Belt, Wheel Bearings and Service.
Grandaughters 5th Birthday so Big Day at our place. Sold a Set of Bowls and a Big Week of Bowls coming up starting with Tomorrow for 7 days.. No bowls for me today but will be at Paradise Point at 8.30am for Business.
Many things to do after 3 days of Bowls and a Big 4 day weekend coming up this weekend. Hope Brian gets his bowls sorted today as a Big Day here and we have a good chance of performing well. Always wanted to play here so he's my chance. Long Drive down and early start as NSW 1 hour forward but at least I will get home in daylight
***************************************************************************************************************** Brian and I played pretty well all day. It was very cool in the early morning and windy was very tricky. 1st game against Ron McCabe and Ben McCall (South Lismore) Rinl 1. Certainly would have liked an easier game to start as these Two played very well and although we stayed with them a fair way, They pulled away towards the end to win 8-17. Brian getting used to his bowls in his 1st game and played some good Bowls but Ben was outstanding and a class above on this instance, 2nd game against Bill Partridge and Gary Rose (Lismore Workers) A Good 20-12 win. 3rd game against Kevin and Mark (Alstonville) They were 2 game winners and we managed a good 18-9 win. Nice Club. 1st time here for me. Enjoyed the day and the people we played against. I am filling in for Phil Capon who has important things to do today so I am with Alan Young from Helensvale. Will be nice to play with Alan, Often played against him but never with him.
****************************************************************************************************************** Windy as hell again. Top green against Jim Suttie and Peter Parker. Alan and I played excellent dispite the conditions and I Led for Alan and he skipped very well. We had a good 20-8 win. We had a lot of luck as every thing went our way all the same. 2nd game complete opposite. Played against Ernie Smith and Kevin Sayer. We played pretty well although found ourselves down 0-21 after 7 ends. They drove and drew very well. We fought back and ended up going down 6-23. Disapointing but can't be helped. Beyond worrying about scores. If I win Big I win money, If I lose big I lose nothing. Great to Play with Alan and played against him a few times indoor and impressed me there too. |
