Ayr Bowling Club

Over the past week, the Ayr Bowling Club has been a hive of friendship, and healthy competition.

On Tuesday 2 July, the club hosted a good turn out for the Ladies Social Bowls. 16 ladies played 2 rinks of games at the club with Ruth Moore, Linda Guimelli, Irene Wilson and Sandra Stidston the victors of the day, and Katharina Stuckler, Robyn McAllister, Karen Page and Pam Power the runners up.

On Wednesday 3 July, the club saw a fantastic afternoon for the social bowling competition. 3 games of Triples were played with Hellena, Arthur, and Wayne announced as the winners.

The Wednesday Night mixed social bowls was back after a week’s break, with 1 game of triples. The winners were L. Henderson, K. Shepherd and S. Caltabiano.

The Ayr Bowling Club invites the community to pop down for a game of lawn bowls on a Wednesday night and asks that you phone the club on 4783 1336 to register. The club has bowls players can borrow, and if you’re new to the sport, you’ll be shown the basics of the game.

Saturday Social Bowls saw four games of triples with J. Murray, J. Grabbi, and D. Cutting coming out the winners. Saturday always hosts enjoyable opportunities for many to mingle, meet new people, and learn a new game, and the day saw the welcoming of some travelling visitors to the club for some friendly competition and comradery.

Sunday 7 July saw two championship games played. The winners of the Semi Final Championship Pairs were J. Grabbi and L. Stidston, as they defeated M. Power and R. Soper, and the B Grade Singles game saw V. Bettia defeat J. Pirrone. Further information on the 14 July championship club games can be found on the club board.
