TUESDAY 21st November: The final of the Club Championship Major Singles was played Robyn Beaumont v Bette Saillard, 22 ends were bowled before there was a winner. Interestingly both competitors won 11 ends which indicates the “tightness” of this match, the deciding factor was Robyn managed to score a 4 on the 7th end and won by 3 shots on 4 ends whereas Bette only had multiples on 2 of her winning ends, hence Robyn victorious the score 26 v 13. A wonderful display of draw bowling by both competitors, congratulations to both of you and especially to Robyn on winning this event for the 4th consecutive year, TGWBC Club Champion. Social bowls played 2 games of Triples just 16 ends Maryanne Cuss, Jeanette Emmett and Karen Green lead took control of their game on the 3rd end defeating Loretta Baker, Irene Roberts and Sandra Leisemann 14 v 8. On the 7th end Pam Gilchrist, Jean Glover and Dawn Jones were down by 8 shots (10 v 2) v Kris MacDonald, Annette Linney (visitor) and Pat Baker. I could make the comment Pat’s team were lucky to end up with a win here considering they only scored 2 shots over the next 9 ends compared to Dawn’s crew who gained 9 points ultimately just losing by 1, 12 v 11. The winners on the day were Maryanne, Jeanette and Karen winning with the highest score. Bette Saillard won the raffle many thanks to The Garden Eatery for donating the raffle prize.
