1st game today against John and Russell Macleay (Kingscliff). We had a good game and we got up and won 22-9. Russell never handled the Carpet as well as he handles the Grass with his size 5's. Grant Played well and put them under pressure every end. Russell wiill have it in for me next weekend as we play Kingscliff in NSW Pennant and will probablly play against him. 2nd game again on the carpet against Val Jackson and Barry Jackson who beat us yesterday on the last end to knock us out of the top group. We played well and never let them settle and won 16-5. Barry had trouble with his knee and it rained and made it difficult for him to hold the bowl and also slowed the green down to a nice pace we adapted to better, 3rd game against Kevin Clark and Keith Barrett on the Grass Green and we only had to play to keep the score to a minimum as our margin was very good to win the group with a loss. Anyway we played well and the green was so slow and we won 26-5. Grant and I played well all day and although I hate slow greens, We did what we had to so as to win the group. Won $100 each so that was good but can only reflect on what might have been had we got to the Top Group yesterday.
