Saturday’s social bowls
Saturday, March 8, social bowls winners were Bruce Parker, Leroy Gregory and Dylan Marchant who defeated Jayden Doran, Dave Jones and Wenden Riley, 23-14.
By all reports the standout bowler in this game was Parky.
In the remaining game, a very close win went to Trista Raines, Mal Altmann, and Shaun Marchant in defeating Harmony Raines, Maxine Elsom and Fox Raines, 16-15.
The best bowler in this match was Harmony Raines who played great bowls.
The winning skip in this game, Shaun ‘Sharkie’ Marchant also play-ed great bowls which was a big turnaround from his Cobar/Bourke form the weekend before.
Fours Championship
One game of Fours Champion-ships was played on March 9th. This game resulted in a very good win to Kayleb Doherty, Bob Rogers, Maxine Elsom and Rambo Young. This crew defeated Andrew Townsend, Tracey Riley, Blake Cook and David Duffy, 24-17.
Kayleb played great consistent bowls as lead for his team. After be-ing in a bit of a form slump at Cobar /Bourke, Rambo also redeemed himself by putting on a great display of bowling in his role as skip.
It was in no doubt, that it was Rambo’s calm and subtle demeanour that helped guide his team to victory.
Pennants – number sevens on the road again – this time to Gulgong
On the road again was the number seven pennants team, when they travelled to play their next round of pennants at Gulgong on Sunday.
This team was very unlucky in bei-ng defeated by only one shot with the score being 56-55, 8-2. Wenden Ril-ey’s team had a good win, 22–15. Gil Riley’s team also had a good with the score being 25-16.
