3 Good games again today. 1st one against Brent and Pat from N.Z . Pat is off to Malaysia on october as Won N.Z Open Singles this year. We had a great start and leading 12-4 but they fought well and came back to 12-12 before we snuck ahead with good bowls for a 21-13 win. All played very well on the best running green here, 2nd game on Middle green in a gale. We played Wayne and Dick Meyer (Tasmania). We struggled here yesterday too although better today, we were beaten by a drive shot when Dick drove a kitty to the ditch for 5 with 3 ends to go. Was very even contest but we could not break them and we went down 12-15. 3rd game with nothing really to play for. We played Ray Hickman and Brendan Hoey. Ray played ok but Brendan was brilliant with his weight control and never faltered throughout the game. Destroyed Brian early and we were down 1-15 after 8 ends. We fought back very strongly and had them in trouble with 2 ends to go. We were 5 down on the card but holding a very good 3 shots which would have made 2 difference going into the last end but once again Brendan drew within 2 inches to get shot so 6 down with 1 end to play. We lost overall 10-17 but a great comeback. They went on to win their section.
2 days good bowls in difficult conditions. Tomorrow 2 bowl triples all day at Mermaid.
