TUESDAY 3 July: RSL Pairs Trophy Day, this is an annual event sponsored by Tea Gardens RSL Sub Branch, many thanks to them for their continuing support and sponsorship of this event.

Teams/games are selected by a random draw, three bowls Pairs with three games bowled each six ends.

There were fourteen teams and three teams won all three of their games, gaining six points.

The winners were decided on the number of ends won.

Sheila Rattray and Bette Saillard came in first winning 11 ends, well done.

The Runners Up were Jean Glover and Lynda Richards winning 10 ends as did Pam Gilchrist and Robyn Beaumont but Jean and Lynda had a higher winner margin 14 v 6.

The encouragement award (by drawing a card) went to Dawn Jones and Irene Roberts.
A fun day enjoyed by all.

Thursday 5 July: Two games of “turn around Triples” twelve ends bowled, after four ends a bowler’s position is changed giving all an opportunity to play Lead, Second and Skip, with some interesting results.

Sheila Rattray, Robyn Webster and Lyn Nightingale were losing by seven shots on the 5th end, 7 v 0 competing against Bev Rhodes, Sandra Leisemann and Loretta Baker.

I’m not sure if it was the changing of positions but by the 10th end they had hit the lead by 1 shot 10 v 9, ultimately winning 13 v 9.

Pam Gilchrist, Jean Glover and Maynie Roberts led all the way, defeating Bette Saillard, Judi Polak and Jill McBride by 9 shots 14 v 5.

Due to the COVID crisis NDWBA have cancelled District Versatility which was to be held on the 20 August and The Spring Carnival scheduled for the 9 September.

Coming events: Round 1 of the Club Triples has been postponed, will now commence Tuesday 17 August, hopefully.
