Gilgandra bowlers represent in District Triples and Fours

Over the past two weekends, the club has been represented in the both the District Triples and Fours in Narromine.

Garry Raines, Dylan Marchant, and Noel Raines played in the triples and were unlucky to go down by one shot, 22–21 in the semi-final against a West Dubbo team.

These three bowlers returned last weekend to play in the Districts Fours and, joining them on the first day, was Brent McKenzie.

Due to Brent’s unavailability on Sunday, the lads came back to town to find another bowler who would be up to the task, being Jo Raines. This team also went down by only one shot in the quarter finals against a Dubbo City team, 17– 16.

Wednesday Social bowls winners were Stacey Reynolds and Larry Clark. They defeated Ted Stewart and Mal Altmann, with the most ends and a win 21–8, and 13–3 ends.

Pennant Bowls will commence next weekend with Gil playing a home game against Gulgong in the sevens. Teams that have been selected to play in this event are as follows:

Matt Thompson, Tracey Riley, David Duffy, and Danial Riley.

Christine Howchin, Larry Clarke, Tommy Ledger, and Bob Dicks.

Shayne Barwick, Leroy Gregory, Baden Fisher, and Gil Riley.

The sub is Bruce Parker.

These bowlers are to be at the club by 9.30am for a 10 o’clock start.

- Jo Raines, Barry Johnson, Blake Cook, and Noel Raines.
