Playing Ditch Weight

Three games of the Club Fours Championship were completed over the weekend with two games on Saturday and one game on Sunday.

One of the Saturday games saw Steve Walsh, Albert Carter, Les Fanning and Russell Boyd playing Brian McNair, Joe Read, Jono Watson and David Quigley. David’s team won 7 of the first 8 ends and led 20 shots to 3.

The next 8 ends saw a complete change with Russell’s team winning 6 of those ends so that they trailed 19–22.

David’s team won the remaining ends to take out the game 30–19.

In the other game Ted Loader, George Somerville, Rod Cummings (sub) and Brian Madden dominated the scoring against Joe Bargwanna, Ivor Watkiss, Ian Schofield and Cliff Traynor to lead 15–3 at the half-way point and they went on to win 22–9.

The game on Sunday saw David Quigley’s team playing Glen Seward, Denis Rosen, Geoff Holt and Peter Watts.

David’s team won 12 of the first 13 ends with one score of 4 shots and 11 scores of 1 shot to lead 15–1. The final score was 23–3 in their favour.

On Saturday there was also one game of jackpot bowls. Tom Preston, Glen Seward and Chris Wright did best in the second half of the game to win 22–12.

The draws for the Riverina Murray Fours Championships for 2025–26 should be available during the week and players will be notified individually once the draws are published.

Players are reminded that there is information on the notice board concerning a qualifying round of the BPL Cup to be played at Young on Sunday 3rd August. (Unfortunately last week I mistakenly typed July instead of August.)
