Prossie Bowls

The weather has been a bit of a handbrake on games progressing but with perseverance, progress is being made.

Wednesday afternoon's social bowls was cancelled.

On Saturday, Dale Haack defeated Ken Watts 26 - 3 and Sandy Daffara defeated Bruce Uhe 26 - 13 in Senior Singles. Gavin Noonan defeated Nathaniel Watts 26 – 4, Harry Craig defeated Todd Leys 25 - 19 in "B" Singles. Nathaniel Watts and Gavin Noonan defeated Alen Sanderson and Harry Craig 30 - 14 in "B" Pairs. Vince Olsen, Barry Saroglia (sub for Luchie Gardel) and Bryan Davy defeated Bruce Uhe, Barry Zillmann and Philip Brown 31 - 22 in 2 Bowl Triples.

Sunday afternoon the weather was perfect for a couple of games of Social Bowls. Stanley Lawton, Heather Brown and Peter Lawton defeated Simone Griffith, Heather Brown and Philip Brown 27 – 14. Arthur Griffith, Joan Atkinson (visitor from Innisfail) and Sandy Daffara defeated John Anderson, Mary Hedgelong and Mike Harrison 19 - 12.

Best wishes to all the players involved in the District teams for Mackay at next week's BQ State District Sides.

Pennants season is approaching quickly now with the first games being Saturday May 18 and Sunday May 19.  Both teams will be on away games on the Saturday and home games for the Sunday.
