Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Proserpine Bowls

The club experienced another bustling week, with multiple events and competitions taking place. A big thank you to all the members who contributed their time and effort, especially those assisting with school groups three times a week, organizing the farewell for former member Susan Faust, preparing for the upcoming 200s, and hosting a bowls party on Saturday. All these activities were successfully completed before the much-needed rain began to fall.

Champion of Champion Pairs
Over the weekend, Jonathan Bye and Wayne Handley represented the club in the Champion of Champion Pairs competition at Mackay City. They started strong, securing a 15-12 victory against Airlie Beach in their first match. However, they were subsequently defeated by Sarina, who then lost in the semi-final to Mackay City. Mackay City went on to win the event, defeating Marian in the final.

Club Championship Singles Final
The final of the Club Championship Singles is set to be played on Friday, August 16, between Shane Kinnear and Michael Kinnear. Further details will be provided as the date approaches.

Social Bowls
Wednesday's social bowls saw some exciting matches. In her final week before returning home to Swan Hill with Nev, Carol Smith played alongside Philip Brown but was defeated by Mary Hedgelong and Sandy Daffara with a score of 28-21. In another match, Alen Sanderson, Bruce Uhe, and Mike Harrison triumphed over Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith, and Heather Brown with a 17-13 victory.
The week was filled with camaraderie, competitive spirit, and memorable moments, setting the stage for more exciting events to come.
