Caine Burns Won the Singles in a well fought Game.
Mark Lister, Charlie Laws, Gary Alexander and Joe Cacace Fours had a good win.
Alan and In went down 15-24 to Brett and Shane. We Had a good start and up 9-3 but they pulled back to lead 9-10 when the rain came and slowed the green down and we slipped behind. We tried to come back and got to 13-18 after 18 ends but they got us 15-24 in the end. Overall a Win but disappointed we went off in the rain, Me more so than Alan who played some great Bowls though out but so did their skip Shane.

THE TRIP TO VICTORIA POINT
It Was an Experience getting there with Joe Cacace driving the Jeep. After going Via India after missing the Smith Street turn off, Joe drove immaculately throughout the Journey, Cutting off other cars and getting the finger from at least 2 drivers and I heard more profanities than from my 6 year old Grandaughter who I thought I had taught them all too.
We got there in 1 piece but Alan Elliott had left at the same time and had managed to complete a 3 course lunch before we arrived.
The way home was a Blast too as Joe had finished the Fours early and eager to get away quickly after the game, pulled up beside my rink after 19 ends ready with the door open and trying to usher me into the car for the trip home. I managed to snatch 1 hot meat pie as Charlie never heard me ask him to get a handful for the trip home. We left at Breakneck speed and went on a 3 hour Tour of Wellington Point after Joe Turned Left instead of right at the end of the Street but it was ok… He was sure it was the right way. It was almost dark before we asked someone the correct way out and we Turned around and took the 3 hour trip back to the Turn off and headed home and got to Southport without further incident.
Nice Day trip and good Fun….. Might be a different trip to Mt Gravatt….
