Last Wednesday, 26th March, the Semi-Final of the Master Pairs took place, featuring two intense matchups. Nuggy Pratt and Michell Stockton faced off against Lois Deguara and Joyce Bloomfield, while Chris Woo and Chris Hall played against Lorna Coad and Floss Keft.
Both games were highly competitive, with impressive bowls and fierce concentration from all players. However, only one team from each match could advance. Lois and Joyce secured victory in their game, while Chris and Chris also claimed a win, setting up an all–North Mackay final.
After a well-deserved break and lunch, the players returned to the green for the final match of the session. Once again, it was a tense and skilful contest, with plenty of encouragement from spectators boosting the players' energy. In the final round, Chris and Chris emerged as the winners. Their excitement was evident, as they received many congratulations from those in attendance.
The club extended its congratulations to all participants and expressed appreciation to everyone from the various clubs who entered this year’s competition.
Social bowls were also held last Thursday, with the winners being Narell Schmidtke and Doris Dodds. The runners-up were Jan Comelli, Brenda Trannore, and Coral Francis.
