On Rink 2 Lynda Richards, Sheril Johnson, Olive McKeown and Pat Baker had a convincing win against Francis Betar, Pam Gilchrist, Lily Smith and Lynne Green 24 v 12. A similar story on Rink 3 where Bev Dunn played “swinger”, a lead for both sides. The team consisting of Kerry Faber, Bev Stephens and Karen McPhie (a new skip) scored 25 beating Christine Fossey, Bev Rhodes and Deyonne Page by 14 shots. The triples game on Rink 4 saw Dale Winter, (who usually plays skip requesting a change of position to being lead), Jill McBride and Karen Green just going down to Lesley Kibble, Anne Mackenzie and Wendy Jones by 3 shots, 16 v 19. Most comments of the day were how well Lesley played considering she hasn’t bowled for a long time. Another tight contest on Rink 6 Pauline Perry, Jo Younghusband, Kathie Rimmer and Sandra Leisemann 18 defeating Wilma Drake, Bette Saillard, Carol Hayden and Maynie Roberts 16. The winners of the day with the highest score were Karen McPhie’s team. Prior to play on Thursday 18 May a double Spider was played. The winners of that were Maynie Roberts and Karen Green. Format for play was a two games of triples. Lynda Richards played “swinger”. This was a very close contest, the end result was myself, Anne Mackenzie and Maynie Roberts 16 v myself, Deyonne Page and Elizabeth Kelly 17. An impressive win for Sheril Johnson, Bev Stephens and Karen Green 25 defeating Francis Betar, Carol Hayden and Lorraine Harvey 8. The winners with shots plus ends were Karen Green’s side. Three of our members participated in the Newcastle District Singles Competition that commenced on the 15 May. Wendy Brand and Kayelene Pearson unfortunately were beaten in their first round of play. Robyn Beaumont made it to the finals being beaten by Natasha Scott from Raymond Terrace 25 v 11. Congratulations Robyn, a great effort against one of the “legends of bowls”.
