District Winners Shield For Local Bowlers

The Proserpine team of Shane Kinnear, Scott Hamilton and Wayne Handley played amazing bowls all weekend to come out on top in all highly contested Champion of Champion 2 Bowl Triples games at Marian. 

Saturday afternoon they defeated Northern Beaches 25 - 15; Sunday morning was a close one against Seaforth with an extra end being required to break the deadlock, Proserpine eventually winning 22 - 21 and then in the final against home club Marian, it was another fiercely contested match.

At the time of writing, I'm not aware of what the score was, only that it was close all the way through and Proserpine ended up this year's winners. 

In Social Bowls on Wednesday, John Anderson, Mary Hedgelong and Philip Brown defeated Pat Bownds, Alan Pershouse and Sandy Daffara 24 - 13;  Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith, Bruce Uhe and Mark Mawson defeated Alen Sanderson, Jim Bownds, Dave Meiklejohn and Heather Brown 21 - 12.

On Sunday social bowls Philip Brown and Sandy Daffara defeated Alen Sanderson and Mike Harrison 25 - 23; Bruce Uhe and Heather Brown defeated Arthur Griffith and Peter Lawton 28 - 23.

Good Bowling and great luck to Nathaniel Watts and Gavin Noonan who will be competing in the Champion of Champion B Pairs at North Mackay this coming weekend.
