This week, our little part of paradise experienced typical wet season weather, leaving the bowls green saturated and no play from Tuesday onwards. We're lamenting the lost game days and lack of cover, but our thoughts are with local farmers affected by the floods. We also hope the Proserpine Bowls Green rebuild continues and is completed soon. While we've faced setbacks, we remain resilient and learn valuable lessons from these challenges.
In A Grade Singles, it's down to Harry Quod, who will play the winner of Shane Spann vs Manny Isgro. In B Grade, Merve Stewart is in hot form, comfortably defeating Mark Mawson, while Steve Lawrie triumphed over Ash Warland, who had beaten Duncan Smith. Arthur McManus progressed to the next round by forfeit.
After a week of wet weather, Sunday cleared, and 16 members turned up for a game. The winning team was Bobby Spees, with lead Duncan Smith and second Lu Rogan, who edged out Tony Whitehorn’s team of lead Bill Gordon who was in fine form and second Mark Mawson in the final few ends. Runners-up were John Askew and Alan Pershouse, who triumphed over Liz and Arthur McManus on the last end. In a tight contest Stacey Hadlow’s team of lead Des Ballance and second Dawn Dowell drew with Tony Kelly’s team of lead Sue Dakin and Lyn Graham at second.
We look forward to welcoming back the Christian College students for bowls lessons starting Friday, 9 May, for a seven-week program with more details to come soon. Regular bowls lessons continue Mondays and Thursdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm, with all welcome.
