1st game against Todd Mackintish and Ryan Bester (Broadbeach). Brian and I played Great Bowls to defeat Todd and Ryan 18-10 and 11 ends from the 18. Green ran well and we had our share of luck but played well for it. 5 Dead ends. Still finished 1/2 hour before the rest.
2nd game a different story. After Dinner and greens slowed down fast as darkness hit and we struggled against 2 local bowlers Harry and Darryl Sullivan and were down 8-0 after 4 ends dropped 4 x 2's and Harrys with Evos were the order of the day against our tight bowls on the very slow green. We managed to fight our way back and at 17-17 looked to have come back for a great victory after being down 6-17. Never under estimate a local with a Greenmaster Power on a slow green. Holding 3 on the 17s he drove with his last bowl and picked up Jack for a 3 which meant we had to get a 4 on last end to win. Held 4 before Harry got shot 4" from Jack.. We had the chance to hit his bowl and take Jack back for the 4 but failed.
We lost 17-21 in a Great game and got 9 ends each. Even a win would not have got us any money as the points system is very hard here with 2 points a win and 1 point an end. 11 first game was 3 behind the other leaders and the last game we neutralised each other on ends.
Great days Bowls as always… Enjoyed it…
