Well Well, David Baker and Arthur Campbell both Crook today so I finally get the chance to Skip a Rink and where better that Broadbeach. Our side was John Mitchell, Trevor Hollis, Blair Garden and Myself, We played Scott De Johng, Ryan Kahn, Dave Gardiner and Sam White.
We had a good game and as Usual John Mitchell led very well. 1st time I had played with Trevor and he played well too after a few ends when he got the weight on a slowish green which had been watered too much. Blair who has not played much recently struggled most of the game bout gave me a few good bowls towards the end. I was very happy with my game in all apart from 2 ends.
We lost the game 15-21 but were in it up til the last end. I had the chance to trail the kitty for 4 with the last 2 bowls but narrow miss with the 1st and short on the 2nd left us 2 down. Was a good game and we were more than competitive. Beaten by the 2 poor ends. Once again Sam played a few good bowls when required which was enough for his win. Chris Hoopers side went down 15-19 after leading against Sean Inghams side most of the game. Ethan Lord went down 12-31 to a Hot Ryan Bester side.
Another fairly good showing and have to keep it up for next week against Helensvale and hope to get them on our quick greens at Mckenzie Park and catch then off guard.
