TUESDAY 12th Feb: The Provisional Pennants teams for 2019 was announced. This season there will be 1 Grade 2 side and 2 Grade 4 sides competing from TGWBC. Since a large number of bowlers were present that have been (provisionally) selected for Pennants the Match Committee opted to give these teams the opportunity to bowl together. Format for play was 2 games of Fours and a game of Triples, only 16 ends bowled due to the weather conditions. Robyn Beaumont, Bev Rhodes, Lynne Green and Kayelene Pearson had a ‘neck to neck’ battle against Sandra Leisemann, Robyn Webster, Lorraine Murphy and Maynie Roberts. The final result a draw 10 all. Lyn Nightingale, Jill McBride and Judy McGavock had a 6 shot lead against Ingrid Luck, Deyonne Page and Liz Kelly at the completion of the 4th end. But Liz’s team made a comeback, gaining a one shot lead by the 10th end.

Unfortunately this was short lived, Judy’s team winning 16 v 13. Another close contest on Rink 4, Jean Glover, Lynda Richards, Karen McPhie and Dale Winter v Jan Coomer, Jeanette Emmett, Bette Saillard and Loretta Baker. The score, 10 all on the 11th end. Dale’s team managed to claim victory 15 v 11. The low scores in all games show how tight the bowling was by all teams. The winners on the day, 4 for a win plus ends were Jean, Lynda, Karen and Dale. The raffle winner was Lorraine Murphy, thanks to the Myall Bistro and Café for donating the raffle prize.

Thursday 14th February: Once again Kayelene Pearson held a coaching session for the Pennant teams, then we divided into teams and played 6 ends, no scoring. During this time Liv Everingham and Jo Younghusband enjoyed a friendly Pairs game against Carol Hayden and Jan Kuzmic. The winners here were Carol and Jan by a substantial margin.

Congratulations to Lynda Richards, Karen McPhie and Lynne Green for being Runners Up at the Invitation Triples Day sponsored by East Maitland Bowling Club on the 11th February.

On the 5th February, club President Robyn Webster presented a 10 year loyalty badge (member NSWWBA) to Christine Fossey and to Jo Younghusband a 40 year loyalty badge.

Coming events: 19th February : Round 1 Major Singles. 25th February : District Triples, I believe we have 2 teams entered in this event.
