Brandon Bowls Club

On the afternoon of Wednesday 3 July, the Brandon Bowls Club saw, Kay Garner, Lyn Farr Lyn Storrie and Joy Woods defeat Ann Newton, Vanda Ballao, Colleen Olsen and Helen Collins in a very close game. The day also saw a Grandad bring his family along for a game of bowls, which was great to see.

On 5 July, Friday Night Social Bowls saw lower numbers than usual, but plenty of laughs, producing an enjoyable evening at the Brandon Bowls Club. Jamie Woods, Rob Jorgenson, and David Bycroft were the celebrated winners of the evening, and the anticipated Jackpot was won by Joy Woods and Peter Lejarraga. 

The Saturday Competition on 6 July hosted A Grade Singles, with Chris Pearce defeating Lloyd Shepherd, and Gary Pearce defeating Rob Jorgenson.

Sunday 7 July saw the club entertained by the attendance of the QRI Bowls Club, with players giving it their best in 2 games of bowls. A total of 64 bowlers were challenged in very windy and blustery conditions at the Brandon Bowls Club, and a warm thank you was expressed towards the ladies in the kitchen for providing a beautiful lunch for the players, followed by the club’s traditional smoko. Thanks were also in order for the Queensland Rail Bowlers for their attendance for the spectacular day. The Brandon Bowls Club always looks forward to this event on the calendar. 

On Friday 12 July, the club will hold their Trophy Bowls night as sponsored by Fahey and Walsh. Teams are encouraged to register ASAP if they haven’t already for the event.
