Plus Round 1 of the Minor Pairs Competition and of course social bowls. Format for play for the social bowlers was 3 bowls Triples, 18 ends. A drawn game 21 all for Ingrid Luck, Dawn May and Dale Winter v Lyn Nightingale, Pam Gilchrist and Deyonne Page. A good win for Bev Stephens, Lily Smith and Christine Fossey 23 v Dawn Jones, Dorothy Thompson and Loretta Baker 11. Goes without saying Christine’s team were the money winners. Results for the Minor Pairs are as follows Judi Polak and Lynda Richards 16 v Sandra Leisemann and Karen Green 14. Francis Betar and Bette Saillard 18 v Sheril Johnson and Julie Kennedy 12. Bev Rhodes and Lynne Green 18 v Carol Hayden and Jill McBride 14. The winners precede to the semi final to be contested on Thursday 11th October. Finally and most importantly the result of the Open Consistency Competition. This battle lasted for 26 ends, a great display of precision bowling by both competitors. Robyn took the lead from the beginning holding an 8 shot advantage at completion of the 7th end. Maynie narrowed Robyn’s lead to just 2 shots over the next 2 ends, but that was as close as it got. Winner of the Open Consistency Competition for TGWBC Robyn Beaumont scoring 154 v Maynie Roberts 106. Thanks to Karen McPhie for Umpiring, Kayelene Pearson for Marking, Jo Younghusband, Controlling Body and our Social Committee for your hard work. Following play, all members enjoyed the post final lunch catered for by Myall Bistro and Café. Triple celebrations today, the finals lunch, Dorothy Thompson was presented with her 30 year membership of TGWBC badge and a special birthday for Dorothy. It’s hard to believe that our longest serving member has reached the age of 90. Dorothy is still a “force to be reckoned with” on and off the green. Congratulations Dorothy, your amazing. Birthday greetings to Jill McBride as well. Bette Saillard was the lucky raffle winner of the voucher to the Myall Bistro and Café.
