Been a few weeks since I had a game here so today I am free for a game. Ricky has found me a Partner for today providing weather is good. Storms Forecast.
I played with John Ritchie Weather was fine all day. Nice and Hot and Greens ran well although wind as usual at Cabarita is pretty hard to take.. 1st game against David Day and David Crowe. Went down 8-9 as Dave Crowe made some Great Conversions which we just could not counteract. We played pretty well without much Luck. 2nd game against Sue and John, New to the Area from Lismore Heights. We won 14-10 and had a great game and they both bowled very well but we managed 2 x 4's at good times for our win. Nice for a Bowls Day out…. Not Bowling Today
Selling Some Bowls today on Ebay and Gumtree It Never ends… Two Greens Under Renovation so its Indoor only Today. 16 teams only
George Horley and I have a game together for a change. ***************************************************************************************************************** 1st game against Bob Avery and Merv Austin was a tight game which we managed to get over them on the last 2 ends with an 11-7 win. George Handled the Indoor lovely and Bowled very well. 2nd game against Keith Farrelly and Murray James. We started well and held on at 6-6 after 7 ends but things never exactly went our way and I missed a couple of shots I would have liked to have got on Rink 1 to keep us in it. Chasing over the last 2 ends we dropped a 4 and 2 to go down 6-16 overall.. George played Great all day. Playing again with him next week at Southport. Not Bowling at This Stage but Musgrave Might be on the cards….
Atually Went to Brisbane to get some Bowls and Look at Motor Auctions Too... Paradise point down to 1 Green so Grant Osborne and I will play here today.
We played Stuart, A Kiwi now living in Australia and Broadbeach member also Ernie, A Good Canadian Bowler who is here on Holidays. We had a good game in fairly windy conditions and managed to get away to a 17-6 lead but they made a comeback at the end and we won 18-14 although we could have won by more but for Ernies good conversions. Grant Player very well and I had my moments. Was a Good game and Nice Greens as Usual. ***************************************************************************************************************** MY FACEBOOK WINGE FOR THE DAY Why can't some bowls clubs use their initiative. When some of the Greens come out, The weekly Pairs becomes Triples and Fours for a few weeks. Why Not utilise the Mornings of the week that are not usually used to put on Pairs so that people can still play pairs maybe on another day and the Normal day limit it so they are not stuck with Boring Triples or Fours. Its Common sense and many players are just going to other clubs that do have pairs on those days and getting the game they so desire. Not a Smart Move by the Clubs but Thats Bowls. Old People and No One thinks ahead... At this Stage I am not bowling today but that Might Change in the morning. If not I will have a nice quiet day.
I went to Southport incase they were a player short but everyone turned up so I left and came home to do some promotion work etc. Latif and I back up today after a Great Day at Ballina yesterday.
Latif ended up 4th with Geoff Lanham. I came 7th with Grant Osborne. *************************************************************************************************************** We played David Hinchcliffe and Brian Smart today and had a very good game although only winning 8 ends, we won 24-17. All played pretty well.. Nice Hot day and good running Greens, Grant Osborne head down early for the 4 games today in this 1 off daily Big Money Event.
2 Bowl Pairs, 3 Bowl Pairs, 2 4 2 x and 2x2x2x2 Different format. Should be a good day with some Top teams entered and shows people LOVE PAIRS EVENTS… **************************************************************************************************************** What a Great day Grant and I had. We won All 4 Games although came 7th and missed a cash prize, we were more than happy. Trickily conditions with flukey wind but greens ran very good. 1st game against June Beverly and Paul Rafton. Lost 1st 3 ends to be down 0-4 but then won the next 8 to lead 15-4 before dropping a 1 on last for our 15-5 win and great start, 2nd game against Ryan Digby and Ben McCaull was out most impressive win and although we had a bit of luck, still played well enough for our 12-9 win. 3rd game against Bob and Doug Pollock we managed to get homemon last 2 ends after a good tight game, We won 10-8. 4th and final game against Barbara Gates and Paul Watson, Had a Great 17-8 win. Just could not get the margin and missed out by 2 shots for a share of 4th 5th and 6th places. Terrific Day and can't wait til the next one... |
