BOWLS

Tea Gardens Men’s Bowls

The usual Club competition on Wednesday 3rd and the annual “Kneelers and Grippers” challenge scheduled for Friday 5th September were cancelled due to rain. It is proposed to conduct the “kneelers and Grippers” game this Friday 12th September.
Dry greens at Wallsend on 3rd September enabled the first round of the Grade 2, 3×3’s Newcastle District Bowling Association competition, to be completed in cold and windy conditions.
The Tea Gardens side included 4 players from the Pennant Grd. 6 and Grd. 7 teams who all played exceptionally well.
For the Mighty Dolphins, a very good win with the team of;
Bob Weir, David Rimmer, and Dennis Ashbridge winning 20-8.
Ross Barry, Bob Foster and John Parkinson also had a good win 26-12.
The third combination of Ron Webster, Kerry O’Brien and John Bilby went down 10-21 but 16 ends in this game were one-shot ends so the team was far from disgraced.
The overall result;
Tea Gardens 56 – Wallsend 41. A great start to the competition!
Both the Grade 2 and Grade 3 sides will be playing at Tea Gardens next week. We wish them well.
7th September
The Sunday Introduction to Bowls competition took place with30 bowlers attending. Winners were; Pam Gilchrist, Laurel Laver and Bill Moon. Lucky Losers were Brian McPhee, Dennis Wilberforce and John Moore. Thanks to our cooks Peter Gurney and Leigh Hunt.

The most successful Tea Gardens team, competing in Section 4, was the combination of Robyn Webster, Lily Smith, Merle Sargeant and Anne MacKenzie.
They had 6 wins from their 8 matches , (80 shots and 42 ends won), came 3rd in their section and 10th overall.
In Section 2, another Tea Gardens team comprising Kerry Faber, Dale Winter, Wendy Brand and Liz Kelly, also had 6 wins, (69 shots and 40 ends won).
Their efforts had them finish 14th in the overall competition.
The Tea Gardens teams in sections 3 and 5 did not fare as well but gave of their best against some very strong teams in the competition and in conditions that were bitterly cold and windy which did not favour good bowling.
On the Monday (September 1st) the Tea Gardens Women’s Bowling Club hosted a section of Carnival.
There were 10 teams from all over the Newcastle region, all playing 3 games of 12 ends.
Heaton Birmingham  Gardens was the only team to win all three games.
