Wangaratta Bowls

Congratulations to the Wangaratta Ladies Team of Robyn Stitt, Margaret Wilson, Denise Wallace, and Penny Warren, who were runners-up in the Premier Cup last week. The team won eight out of eleven matches, matching the winner's tally, but Thuringowa claimed the title with a higher aggregate score.
Last Saturday, Mark hosted his President/Greenkeepers Day with a full green and lively festivities. Sponsor Gerry from the Queens Beach Tourist Village and staff joined in the celebration.
In Monday’s self-selected triples, K. Pedlar, L. Fox, and S. Farrell defeated C. Coll, D. Madely, and R. Agg. Runners-up were P. Howie, C. Col, and K. Whitton, who beat M. Elphinstone, I. Wheeler, and G. Gordon. The jackpot was not won.
Tuesday's social bowls saw winners on Rink 2 as Mark Mc and Irene J. Gillies defeated P. Breakwell, M. Nesbitt, and P. Madden. Runners-up were A. Gillies, O. Swanton, and F. Wilmann, who bested L. Brown, M. Wright, and C. Parker. The jackpot was not won.
Fun Friday afternoon winners were Jill Owen and Al, who defeated T. Bird, Christina, and Jennie. Resting touches were achieved by Jill, Lyn Madden, John Reimann, and Anna Lye.
Saturday's Combined Shield at Bowen Bowls Club was fiercely contested. Congratulations to the Wangaratta Men, who won all three matches, securing the event for Wangaratta next year. The BBC men finished second, with the Ladies third and Collinsville fourth.
