Friday 7th March
We only had a small number of bowlers due to sickness and unavailable players, however, those who did turn up enjoyed some great bowling with two games of pairs.
Gary Pearce and Dave Sheehan def Ross McLaughlin and Ray Paneccasio. And in the other game, Ben Mills and Jamie Woods were too strong for Margaret McLaughlin and Lyn Storrie.
Saturday 8th March A grade singles
It was great to see some members turn up and support this clash between Gary Pearce and David DeFranciscis, in what was a great game of tight ends and great draw bowling, with Gary coming away with the victory and moving onto the next round.
Sunday 9th March Men’s Fours
David DeFranciscis and his star studded lineup of Ross McLaughlin, Michael Paravacini, and David Harding, played against Peter Henderson, Mick McCloskey, Richi Mau and Joe Yipnazar. In a seesawing game with the lead changing throughout the 21 ends game, at the half way mark of the game it was all square, however, David pulled his team aside and basically told them in no uncertain terms before eventually winning the game after 21 ends.
Sunday 8th March social bowls
We had two games of 4s and with pennants and a range of other event ideal time to practice this type of format. Ken Ferguson, Neville Dickinson, Lyn Storrie and Doug Kiehne, won against David Sheehan, Gary Nosworthy, Helen Collins, and Allan Gairoch.
In the other match Lloyd Shepherd, Doug Robins, Jamie Woods and Kevin Collins, were outclassed in a tight finish against Ben Mills, Vince Beitia, Chris Pearce and Gary Pearce.
Those interested in playing Red Pennants this year Friday 30, Saturday 31 June and July 1, please get your name up on the board as selectors need to start getting teams organised. This year we will be playing games in Townsville.
