Home Hill Bowls

The Home Hill Bowls Club enjoyed another lively week of bowls with Thursday 11 July seeing winning trio Stephen Doig, Dino Poli, and Mick Olsen showcasing their skills on Rummeny Green

Congratulations were due to Lyn Elton for winning the raffle. Gary Nosworthy drew the mystery ball, although unfortunately, the jackpot remains unclaimed with hopes high for next week's draw.

Special thanks were expressed to the sponsors, EB HIVES, whose delicious honey is available for $6 a bottle at the Home Hill Bowls Club bar.

The afternoon on Rummeny Green saw 34 players in action, delivering outstanding performances across multiple rinks:

Rink 2: Tony, John, and Glen secured a solid victory over Ron, Mick M., and Jeff with a score of 22-11.

Rink 3: Alex, Chris, and Karen triumphed over Des, Gail, and Yogi, finishing 20-11.

Rink 4: Mick O., Dino, and Stephen dominated their match against Paul, Peter, and Gary with an impressive 38-6 win.

Rink 5: Kim, Bob, and Mick M. engaged in a close battle, narrowly defeating Judy, Steve, and Keith 15-14.

Rink 6: The seasoned team of Jimmy/Karl and Barry proved age is no barrier, defeating Richard and Hugh 19-11.

Rink 7: In another exciting match, Cy and Con held on to win against Helen and Trevor 19-17.

The club continues to thrive with activities including Monday morning fitness classes, Tuesday Trimmers club, Wednesday morning Kraft group, and Wednesday night barefoot bowls. Thursday mornings are bustling with BINGO, drawing good crowds, while Thursday afternoons remain a highlight with vibrant social bowls.

Saturday afternoon bowls have also commenced, with names to be in by 1pm for a 1:30pm start.

Until next week, keep up the great bowling spirit!
