Poor Little Sod Broke His elbow so has to be very careful while it heals. Going to take long time and a few operations to get it stable and hopefully 100%

PHUKET Not Bowling Today.
Just Cooked Coconut Rice, Vindaloo Fresh Spices and Snake Bean and Spinach Baji also Salad while Wife and Daughter have gone to spend HOURS walking round shops. Cricket Time and a few beers. Grant Osborne and I played against Merv Cobb and Red Edwards Indoor Rink 5.
This Match was really to cement Grants Dominance on the Yearly Ashes Contest Series between Himself and Red. What a Great game too. Red Edwards was Totally Disapointing with his efforts to catch Ralph Hunt in the Australian "Ralphie Awards" and there were no Signs of a "Ralphie" Shame Shame Shame However.... Red Started with Vengance and we peppered the Jack on the first few end (Before I went to sleep for 6 ends as normal) and Red played some very telling drives and the 25 drives he did miss were only by a fraction. His Idea was never to let us settle and it almost worked as the game was really tight the first 15 end with just 1 shot in it. However, Grant Picking up the pieces for me performed with all the Scottish Finess of a Drunken Scotchman in a Pub Brawl with some Brilliant Draw shots and we came away winners 23-14. Very Enjoyable Game. Good Luck RED in Ballina... And Remember DONT Drive Drive Drive... We Arrived Back Home Yesterday afternoon. Thank PHUK Thats All Over...

Vince Beckley and I had a Brilliant game and we all played Very Well. Billy Burgess was Lead with his Amazing Bowling Arm and was on fire for most of the Match and Jimmy Griggs Skipped Very well and we tried so hard to shake them off. Vince Led Very well throughout and although we matched them everywhere, we were down 15-18 after 18 ends. I missed with a Drive and Cost us a 4 so have to get to practce my On shot a bit better. Holding 1 shot on 19th end, I had to trail Jack for 5 with the Last bowl which I did. We got the 5 and led 20-18. The again got a 2 on 20th and it was all down to the last end. I was down 2 shots with my last 2 bowls to play and managed to draw shot with my 3rd Bowl. Luckily Jimmy failed to draw for once and we won 21-20 but another Great enjoyable game where we had to fight to get the win. 3 Similar games in a week. At least getting the right result but just cant get away from the opposition. They all lift their games against us. Monday at Paradise and then 8 Days Break over Xmas.. Not Bowling Today. A trip to Helensvale Bowls Club to see a few people and give Christmas wishes.
Grant Osborne and I back at Paradise Point as they have PAIRS again Thursdays... Had a Very Interesting and Good Tough game against Kevin Fowler and Tony Lynch. Just could not shake them off and they played some Great Bowls to keep us honest. 15-15 on 18th ends and then I had a Brain Wave End. Best Ends Bowls I have ever played and we ended up with 3 Shots. Scored a 2 and 2 on last 2 ends to win 22-15. Carpet Ran pretty well today and looking forward to Monday Enduro... PHUK DRAW
