Playing Ditch Weight

The cold weather on Thursday deterred quite a number of our regular players and there were just eight players on the green.

Despite two showers of rain during the afternoon they finished their games as scheduled.

Jim McQuade and Brian McNair had the highest margin for the day when they won their game 18–15.

In the other game an extra end was needed to get a winning margin with Di Peisley and Denis Rosen winning 21–20.

The weather on Saturday was a complete contrast to Thursday with sunny, warm and calm conditions.

Twenty players enjoyed their afternoon.

Most games were closely contested but Tom Preston and Ian Schofield combined well to win their game by 15 shots.

Other winning teams and their scores were Tony Ruhl and Colin Chapman 23–17, Albert Carter and Ted Loader 27–19, Brian McNair and Phil Taylor 18–17 and Mark Anderson and Brian Madden 19–13.

The first games in the Region Singles Championships will be played on Saturday.

Glen Benson, Joe Read, Glen Seward and George Somerville are involved in the Open Reserve division and will be playing at Temora.

Each of the four players is in a section of three players and their section will play three games of 21 up during the day.

The section winners will play off on Sunday morning at Temora to qualify for the finals at Henty on 18th and 19th October.

Four players from the club – Harold Anderson, Russell Boyd, Cliff Traynor and Peter Watts – will be playing in the Men’s Senior division.

Their section will be playing at Young with each player meeting the other three players.

There will be one game on Saturday afternoon and two games on Sunday. Good luck to all eight players in their games.
