Wednesday 29 May
Another great day of bowls with 5 rinks of triples and a rink of pairs. This week the winners, decided by Highest Winning Score, were Darrel Goodridge, Dennis Maggs and Les Waldock (skip) who led 11 to 6 after 11 ends before they had a purple patch where they picked up 5 ends in a row to race out to a 33 to 10 lead. They kept their lead to run out 34 to 13 winners against John Rowley, Peter Hawker and Baxter Smith (skip).
Second prize went to Jeff McCusker, Peter McKay and Keith Pickett (skip) who led 12 to 7 after 11 ends and continued their top bowls to run out 25 to 13 winners against Tony Gors, Allan Chisholm and Peter Jones (skip). Baxter Smith has been playing top bowls lately and he confirmed this by having the first resting toucher at 1.30, well done Baxter. Thank you to Rapley & Son’s Butchery for their continued support.
