Brian Lamb and I at Springwood 3rd place on Sunday. Good Competition and we played well.
No Bowls Today. 2 days off. Grant and I had our 3 usual hard games. 1st game against Peter Johnson and Kelvin Fetingis (Newish Bowlers) and New to Paradise Point. We had to work hard as especially Kelvin drew some lovely shots and will be an assett to Paradise Points. We won 14-7 over the 14 ends. 2nd game against Alan Brough and Sam Granata. Another good game against these two. We were within reach all game and at 12-15 going into the last end, holding 1 shot in a tight head. I had 2 niggles to attempt to get the kitty out for 4 shots and win the game but although I hit the target, I never got the right result. We dropped and 4 and lost 12-19. 3rd game against the unbeatem Red Edwards and Mark Vogler. We got a 6 on the 1st end and never looked back. Won 21-10. Red was short most of the day and Mark frustrated, got a few shots back but had little chance as Grant and I played pretty well too. We won 3rd Lucky game prize and finished 5th over all. Another good days bowls now 2 days off.
Day 2 Springwood Pairs. Have to have 2 Big Wins today and hope results go for us. have a fairly good draw. Weather Conditions forcast not good. Carpet so it will run ok just that we will get wet.
******************************************************************************************************************* 1st game against Dave and Harold (Springwood) on wet green which certainly was slower than yesterday. We managed a hard fought win 18-9 and played pretty good again. Last game we were running 3rd overall and had to try and win and get a margin to keep out 8 shot buffer. We won 20-5 against Harry Ash and Brett Miller (Springwood). The weather was kind and we got away with it. We ended 3rd place and got $300 each so that was ok. A Well run tornament and SHAME ON THE PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT BE BOTHERED TO ATTEND, Brian Lamb and I back together again for 2 days on the Carpet. Always a good tournament here. This is Day 1.
******************************************************************************************************************* Today 3 games 2 hours and 20 minutes. Wet Morning and our 1st game against Pat Morgan and Issac Morgan (Springwood Locals). We played very well but they also played very well on the 16 seconds carpet in cloudy conditions. We never had much luck either where things went for the opposition. The game was neck and next at 5-5 after 8 ends when we dropped 2 3's. With 1 hour to go we were still well in the game but lost 50 minutes to rain and went out for 1 more end and lost 6-12. 2nd game against Paul Egan and John Kirkpatrick (Springwood) and had a very good win 34-9. 3rd game against Tom Denny and Tony Vesen (Springwood) . Been bowling about a year but they played pretty well although we won 27-15. Would have been a lot more but Brian had a Brain wave and a drive with 7 of their bowls behind and you guessed it, Got kitty back and dropped a 7. We were never going to lose but margins might come in to it tomorrow. Rain went away for 2nd and 3rd game and we hope it will be nice tomorrow. Very happy with my games today. Drew well all day. Nothing planned so will check out a few more things for the apartment.
Grant Osborne and I after 2 weeks I have not bowled. Should be ok. Certainly keen enough to get back in the routine but not much else on this side of Christmas only Social. Hamilton Invitation Fours 1st and 2nd December 2012 Cancelled but Mooloolabah have a 2 Day Fours if anyone is interested Same Dates.
****************************************************************************************************************** We played Indoor against Ken Shaw and Kevin Sayer. We had a very hard game and the opposition stuck with us all the way until we picked up a well deserved 6 on the 18th end. I was very rusty although got better as the game got on. Kevin especially played well with some lovely draws and conversions. Grant played his usual good controlled drawing game with some nice upshots and kept us in it. We won 22-20.
