Country Bowls Club with Dennis Wade, Dennis Birkett & John Mallet
First match of the season for Country Bowls Flamingos was at La Siesta against the Pioneers on a cloudy Monday morning.
A lovely days bowling with friendly and convivial hosts.
The Pioneers put up a great battle and gave a tough game but the Flamingos stood victorious with a score of 10 – 4 .
Well done to the Flamingos. A fantastic start.
On Friday saw the Quesada Swans swanning into Country Bowls Club to play against the Cubs.
The Cubs were on top for a while but the Swans came through big style and beat the little Cubs 14 – 0. Shots – 69 to Country Bowls & 128 to Quesada.
Well done to them and hard lines Country Bowls. Better luck next time.
The Country Bowls Geckos ventured far from home all the way to Monte Mar to play the Monte Mar Toreadors.
A number of the Geckos were unable to play, several out of the country, so it was just the 18 remaining here that made it to the green.
The same determination and grit was evident from the off and even though the Toreadors fought with tenacity and enthusiasm, the Geckos hung in and then went on to win on 4 of the 6 rinks.
The points were so close that the Toreadors won the all important 1 shot advantage on the very last shot of the last game taking the shots by just 1.
So a good away win for the Geckos 8-6
Winning Rinks were: Carole Donnellan, Den Birkett & Les Turner; 17-14, Pat & Ray Emmett & Dennis Wade 16-15, Tom Macdonald, Lynne & Andy Bryce 16-12, And Graham Richardson, Derek Jiggins & Geoff Paylor 19-9. Well Done Geckos!
Onwards & upwards.
