1st game against Graeme Rainey (Sub Noel Gray) and Erwin A… Graeme done his back after 4 ends and Noel stepped in and played really well with Graemes 5H… We ended up winning 12-10 in a good hard game. 2nd game against Norm Broadhurst and Mark Burns was a closer game although we won 18-8 we played again pretty well and picked up a 5 and 4 in mid stages. 3rd game there we only 2 x 2 game winners and we were 1 of them after 2nd round and Alan Brough and Sam Granata were getting beaten on Rink 8 and we had a Ripper of a game against Ian Brighton and Merv Austin. We were down 3-8 when we picked up a 7 when Merv had a drive and took his own bowls out. Leading 10-8 it was neck and neck from then and down 13-15 on last end we held game before Merv with his last bowl and a drive changed the head and we could not convert to get the winning 2 shots for a draw which would have won the tournament for us. We dropped a 2 and lost 13-17.
Ended up 5th. Ian and Merv won on 2 wins and a Draw.
Was great playing with Grant again this year and I think we have the combination right now.
Grant is off to the UK tomorrow and back again in a little under 6 months. Hope we can continue when he returns and he has a great season in the UK..
