Proserpine Bowls Club

On Wednesday, there were no Social Bowls played at Proserpine Bowls Club when a thunderstorm cruised over Airlie Beach.

The weekend’s Mackay District Champion of Champion 2 Bowl Triples still went ahead, however, with the first match on Saturday morning seeing Wests Tigers defeat Souths Suburban.

Following on, Northern Beaches defeated RSL, Airlie Beach defeated Seaforth, Mackay defeated North Mackay, and in the afternoon, Proserpine defeated Sarina.

Through all games you could see the quality of shot delivery and decision making with so many of them being edge of your seat matches.

Sunday morning were the two Semi Finals, one where Proserpine defeated Northern Beaches and Marian defeated Mackay.

The Final between Proserpine and Marian started off being neck and neck with neither team getting to control the action.  It is at this halfway point that things started to shift with Proserpine taking the upper hand.

Congratulations to Shane Kinnear (subbing for Nathan Dodds), Scott Hamilton, and Wayne Handley for taking out the MMDBA Champion of Champions 2 Bowl Triples for 2022.

Acknowledgment must be made those who worked behind the scene in green preparation, providing of lunches, serving behind the bar, doing the welcomes and green introductions and umpiring.

Spectators support was exceptional, and thanks must also be extended to Vince McSherry from Mackay Men’s District Bowls Association who drove up on Sunday with the Livestreaming equipment.

On Sunday afternoon the club had six for social bowls, with Sandy Daffara, Warren Wilson, and Peter Lawton defeating John Anderson, Bruce Uhe, and Mike Harrison, 23-16.
