Queensland play their Pennant Rd 1 today and all my usually partners are involved but I have no interest in Pennant so for the 2nd year running I have opted out but not being a Member of a Queensland Club, Just a Member of Cabarita.
Had a Chiropractor Appointment yesterday and my adjustment never went as planned and had a restless night and back is so stiff this morning. Up at 4.30am watching Commonwealth games.

Great days Bowls again. Came 5th Overall and Won another $60. John Ritchie and I played very well together. John, from Kingscliff is a Good Lead Bowler who led many year for Kelvin Kerkow. Was not far off the money all day today and made my job a lot easier.
1st game against Billy Parr and John Morton (Cabarita). Had a good 13-7 shot win although could have been more but for Johns saves. 2nd game against Ian Turnbull and Steve Halmai. We were down 2-7 after 7 ends but came back strongly to lead 9-7 after 11. I dropped a 3 after failing to cut down with my last bowl and we went to last end down 9-10. 1 down on the head with my last bowl and a on shot from me removed their shot bowl and I sat there for 4 shots. We won that one 13-10. Nice game to win. 3rd and final game against a team from Ballina Mick O'Reilly (Fingers) and John Condong who had been beaten buy 11 and 17 shots in other 2 games and had nothing to lose. We fought hard and won 15-6 but only a 5 on the last end gave us some kind of margin.
3 Wins but no Margin. Ray Rickard and Nick Septovitch won 3 Wins plus 33. We were 3 Wins plus 18 so managed 5th place.
Played Pretty well today and would love to be given the chance to skip a rink for Cabarita Beach in the Division 2 Play Offs in Port MacQuarie in 2 weeks but doubt that will happen.
