The runners up were Dave Jones, Lyn Tate and Maxine Elsom who had a win against Clay Mallison, Darky Ruttley and Rambo, 16-13. A few standout bowlers were Graham Bugmy, Steven Carter, Trista Raines and Darky Ruttley. A great time was had by all.
Two games of 21 up were played on the weekend. First up was the match between Maxine Elsom and Shaun Marchant. On the 12th of the 20 ends played, Maxine had a 11-7 lead. Seemingly liking the number 11 she stayed on that score for the next 7 ends while Shaun skipped away in going on to win, 20-12. Well done Shaun!
The next game resulted in the ‘comeback kid’ Evan Kew, defeating Dylan Marchant, 21-11. This was a good win for Evan considering he has only just started up bowls again and defeating one of the top bowlers at the club.
The one game of 150 Consistency saw a hard fought win go to the ‘birthday boy’ Wenden against Mouse Holland with the final score being 151-145 in Wenden’s favour.
This was a great game with the lead changing hands on many occasions. Just when Mouse looked to be gaining the upper hand on the 24th end in leading 120-106, Wenden put his head down over the next 7 ends and toughed it out to gain the win against the very experienced Mouse.
