Wangaratta Weekly Results And Upcoming EventsThe winners of Tuesday's social bowls were Deb Retchless, Irene Laird, and Penny Warren, who defeated Stumpy Adams, Robyn Stitt, and Margaret Wilson in a competitive match. Unfortunately, the jackpot didn’t gooff this time, leaving players gearing up for a better outcome next time.
The mixed competition is progressing well, with several exciting matches. On Saturday, the semi-final of the mixed pairs was held, and it was Denise Wallace and Mark Drummond who emerged victorious, defeating Penny Warren and Allan Rolfe in a closely contested game. Then, on Sunday morning, the semi-final of mixed triples saw Laurie Land, Penny Warren, and Allan Rolfe triumph, overcoming Denise Wallace, David McDonald, and Gavin Charles in a thrilling match.
Later, in the Sunday afternoon session, players braved the sweltering heat to compete in the pairs competition. Teresa Willshire and Gavin Charles were the winners of the afternoon, defeating Alby Vigar and Pat Tracey. Meanwhile, Jim Quod and Allan Rolfe secured a win over Lindy Suann and Mark Drummond. Unfortunately, the jackpot still didn’t go off, leaving everyone eager for the next chance.
Looking ahead, next Saturday marks the first round of men’s local pennant, which will be played all day at Wangaratta, where we will face Bowen Bowls Club. Best of luck to all our players. Normal social play will take place on Sunday, and we wish good luck to our ladies participating in the BBC Ladies’ event this week.
