I managed to get a Game with Super Skip Ricky (Wicky) Maunders.
I don't know what it is apart from the constant swirling wind but i cannot bowl here as well as i bowl everywhere else. Might be just a state of mind as when I come here it is purely for the social side and have no concentration whatsoever and Generally don't give a Flying Duck... Thats why today I decided to Lead.
1st game was a good one against Jack McCarval and Billy Mackenzie. It was tight all way but 3rd last end we dropped a 4 to put us 3 behind when Bill played a Bomb after head had changed numbers times. On the last end and needing 3 to tie, Billy was heavy and sliced Jack to us for 3 with his last bowl, Ricky cool as a radish made it 4 (by a centimetre from being out of bounds) for a Magic win 14-13. Well deserved. Good Fun game.. We would have lost on ends in a draw.
2nd game against Martin Fletcher and Danny Vegter. Another good game but Dannys Drives were the difference in the game as we went down 8-12 in last 2 ends.
Nice and Warm at Cabarita…
Pennant starts April and I will see that out here and will just play social on occasional Mondays and will just stay Members in Gold Coast.
