THE Nambucca Bowling Club (NBC) played the second round of a ‘Friendly’ Mixed Triples Bowls Competition with Urunga BC last Thursday evening in very cool conditions.

The first round saw us head north to play at Urunga, and we thought play was fierce then – round two ended up being another tussle with 66 players wanting to represent the clubs and put their hands firmly around Ray’s Trophy!

Our bottom green saw every home team but one win their game, with some scores close till the end, and a couple giving a good margin to us.

Games on the top green had some big wins to Urunga, but in the end it was another great win for Nambucca, and the trophy remains in the cabinet until next time.

It’s terrific to see two clubs supporting each other, and friendships being strengthened through the love of bowls.

The atmosphere on the greens and inside the club is wonderful, and we plan on making it even stronger in the future.

Our Club Consistency Comp has begun.

These games are very hard for some of us to score points, with 10 points on offer each end.

Results so far are:

Rd 1- M. Smith def M. Fredericks 153-97; E. Brown def H. Haigh 150-120; P. Fletcher def H. Franck 150- 132; T. Meehan def D. Mann 152-138; E. Fleming def A. Johnson 152- 78;

Rd 2 – E. Fleming def N. Blackford 152-102; M. Smith def T. Ryan 152-96; E. Brown def P. Fletcher 156-114.
More rounds are to come next week.

The big question is – Will Manor win yet another title?

Or will there be an upset?

Come down to the club to see for yourself.
