Phil Capon and I today had a terrific game on Rink 8 Indoors. I led and Phil Skipped and needed to be at his best, and he was. He played some Magic Bowls all morning. He had to be to beat Alick Bannister and Jim Anderton. So hard to get a lead on them and a top class game and we all played well. Won 24-19 in the end.
P.S BOBBY BROWN FELT SORRY FOR ANOTHER BOWLER WHO USES ALMARK EDGE FACTORS AT BROADBEACH WHO HAD 5 WRONG BIAS TUESDAY. BOB TODAY WENT OUT IN SYMPATHY AND HAD 2 HIMSELF. HE PROMISED TO GET 3 NEXT WEEK TO MATCH HIS MATE. THEY HAVE ALL JOINED THE EDGE FACTOR CLUB. To the Auctions for a look.
Day Off and a Visit to Broadbeach to see some mates.
NEWSFLASH AND A QUIZ Who was it that had yet ANOTHER SET OF NEW BOWLS TODAYand had 5 Wrong Bias today???? Not fair if you were there. Initials of a Famous Beer!!!!!! Another hint....... You can get it Rollin... You Can get it Strollin... You can get it any old how, As a matter of fact I've got it now.. Abdul Latif and I played Gary and Woody in 1st game for a good 14-5 win (8 ends). Both played well. 2nd game against Ian Creelman and Bob Gourlay another good win 24-10 and (9 ends) and we won the money. Ian and Bob fought back well after we destroyed them early. Good on them. A good game in the end and some good bowls played all round.
I was asked to skip the Fours in the Sevens play offs. Looking forward to it. Must win Saturday morning to progress to the Final in the morning. If we lose play again in the afternoon. Hope rain stays away although it will be slow I expect as heavy rains last 2 days.
Nice day, no rain and overcast but slow tracky greens. Morning game Mick Morgan won his singles 31-29 in a very good game. Claire and Glen Searle went down narrowly in the pairs. Graham Lake, Gwen Cousley, Joy Lake and Myself were down 1-12 after 10 ends and had no luck but it turned around for us and we fought back to be down 12-15 going into the last end. I had it set for a trail for 4 with my last bowl but a vbery harrow hand held the bowl and we dropped a 1 and lost 12-16. Into the afternoon game and Mick Morgan had another great win. Claire and Glen Searle in the Pairs were well beaten. Was very hard slow green for a good draw bowler like Glen. So hard to get that correct weight. In the Fours, Graham, Gwen, Joy and Myself had a great start and played really well and we were up 11-4 when a drive went wrong and I took my own bowl down for a 6. Still leading 11-10 they stgarted playing and was a very good game til the end. Down 14-17 got a chance but never came off and we dropped a 3 so went down 14-20. We never made it so came home. Was a very trying day and the rain last week spoilt a good weekend. Red Edwards, Bob Avery, Myself and Grant Osborne played Merv Austins side in a 21 end game of Fours owing to the normal Pairs being forced inside as rainy weather. We had a great game and won 24-15 but only took control on the last 3 ends. Pretty good bowls played all round on Rink 1. Enjoyable Fours game as nice group of players and competitive in every way.
