Playing Ditch Weight

On Saturday afternoon the club hosted 14 visiting bowlers from the Lithgow Workies Club.

They combined with 24 local players in very good conditions and enjoyed not only the bowls but also the friendly atmosphere on the green and inside the club house.

The organisation saw one visiting player in every one of the 14 teams for the afternoon.

Play consisted of five games of triples and two games of pairs. Most of the games were closely contested with just one big margin.

The winning teams and their scores were Michael Webb, Greg Honeysett and Denis Rosen 24–22; Peter Cram, Don Lovett and Jono Watson 26–18; Trevor Cameron and Geoff DeBritt 21–16; Tom Preston, Geoff Carter and Graeme Edgerton 27–20; Mark Brownlie, Gerry Johnston and Glen Benson 23–21; Geoff Tonge, Colin Chapman and Joe Bargwanna 25–24 and Denis Hull and Cliff Traynor 29–9.

Earlier in the week there were three games of pairs played on Thursday. Albert Carter and George Somerville won their game 18–16, Jim McQuade and Denis Rosen won their game 22–15 and Aldo Malvicino and Brian Madden took out the vouchers with a winning score of 21–13.

The first games in the Club Triples Championship are to be played on Saturday.

The games will see Steve Walsh, Les Fanning and Denis Rosen playing Albert Carter, Geoff Holt and Peter Watts; Geoff DeBritt, Ron Rosengreen and George Somerville playing Steve Joliffe, Rod Cummings and Graeme Edgerton and Darryle Miller, Glen Benson and Damien Miller playing Ted Loader, Tom Glover and Brian Madden.

Good luck to Jono Watson and the rest of the Riverina Murray Region side that will be playing in the Bowls NSW Inter–Region Championship through Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The side will play its sectional games at the Cabramatta club.

There are details on the notice board concerning the Club Fours Championship and the Riverina Murray Fours Championships.
