It’s been another busy week on the greens for the Wangaratta Bowls Club, with both social and competitive matches drawing strong participation and close contests.
Tuesday Social Bowls
Tuesday’s social matches saw Neil Chittenden, Laurie Land, and Margaret Wilson take the win over Stumpy Adams, Irene Laird, and Ron Hyde. In another match-up, Deb Retchless, Robyn Stitt, and Penny Warren came away with a solid win against Lindy Suann, Linda Scells, and Maureen Hyde. The jackpot remained elusive once again.
Club Competitions
In the Ladies A Pairs, Jocelyn Defranciscis and Tiarna Winter edged out Deb Retchless and Margaret Wilson. Meanwhile, Maureen Hyde—bowling under the name “Crooked Kitty”—secured a close win over Robyn Stitt in a gripping singles match.
On the men’s side, Ron Hyde had a strong showing, defeating Laurie Land in the A Singles before going on to take out Dave McDonald in the B Singles. Lloyd White also had a great result in the B Singles, beating Alby Vigar.
Sunday Afternoon Bowls
Sunday’s play featured a mix of pairs and triples matches. In the triples, Lindy Suann, Maureen Hyde, and Gavin Charles combined well to defeat Jim Quod, Deb Retchless, and Alby Vigar. In the pairs, Isobel Wheeler and Penny Warren scored a win over Neil Chittenden and Ron Hyde, while Sue Shearing and Fely Duncan came out on top against Linda Scells and Graeme Read. The jackpot again went unclaimed.
Looking Ahead
Wangaratta will be proudly represented in the District Division One Pennant competition in Ayr next week, with eight local ladies travelling north to compete on Anzac Day. Best wishes and good bowling to Denise Wallace, Linda Scells, Tiarna Winter, Penny Warren, Robyn Stitt, Teresa Willshire, Margaret Wilson, and Fely Duncan.
