Playing Ditch Weight

Two games of the Club Singles Championship were completed at the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon Damien Miller was opposed to Brian Madden – two skips from the club’s Grade 2 pennant side. As was to be expected this was a close contest.

After 14 ends both players had won 7 ends and Brian led 11–10. With 23 ends completed the scores were level at 17–all and after 3 more ends the score was 19–all.

Damien then scored 3 shots on the 27th end to lead 22–19 and be in striking distance of the 25 shots needed to win. After 31 ends Damien led 24–22 and 1 shot on the next end gave him the win 25–22.

There was a father–son game on Sunday afternoon with Damien opposed to his father Darryle in a semi–final of the Championship.

Despite Darryle playing some very good bowls Damien’s experience and his ability to move the jack to his advantage saw him claim a clear–cut win 25 to 7.

With a number of regular players unavailable due to other commitments there were only 10 players involved on Thursday afternoon.

Tom Preston, Chris Wright and Aldo Malvicino had the best margin for the day when they won their game 25–10.

Harold Anderson and Denis Rosen were the other winners with a score of 19–13.

In addition to the game of Club Singles there were 20 other players involved on Saturday afternoon.

Albert Carter and Denis Rosen won the majority of ends in their game to claim the vouchers with a score of 32–8.

Darryle Miller and Colin Chapman won their game 23–13, Glen Seward and Joe Read opened up an early lead in their game and this proved the difference in their 20-14 win. Allan Langford and Tony Ruhl had an early lead of 10–4 in their game but with one end to play they led 13–12 and 3 shots on the final end gave them a win 16–12.

Harold Anderson and Graeme Edgerton scored 2 shots on the last end of their game to win 18–16.

Once again the Lachlan Street team were the winners for Wednesday night’s games in the Guy Pickering Charity Challenge. The overall winners for this division were FATBBOTS.

Three of the winning teams scored 14 points on Thursday night and the Fill Ins won the count-back. The overall winners for Thursday night were Bowl Terras.

Bowl Terras and FATBBOTS will play each other on Thursday night for the bragging rights as the overall winners.

The organisers would like to thank the more than 70 players who took part in this competition over 8 weeks for their goodnatured rivalry and assistance in overcoming an occasional problem.
