Cool, overcast days made playing conditions perfect for lawn bowls. Wednesday saw the second Semi-Final match of the Club Minor Pairs contested as well as two games of Social Triples and three games of Social Pairs. On Saturday the visit from the St. John’s Mixed Social Bowling Club of Sydney took place. Welcome home from hospital to Steve and Eddy. It’s great to see you above the ground.
Wednesday 8th November was a warm overcast afternoon with no breeze. The green was playing at a fast pace. Rink 1 resulted in a great win for Alby Barker, David Solomon and Ray Solway by 21 shots to 12. Rink 2 held the game of the week with Matthew Rosina, Les Stuart and John O’Dell getting away to a great start by winning the first end 3/0. Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Joe Wright fought back straight away and won the next 2 ends by a shot. A stupendous six by Paul, Bert and Joe soon had them in a winning position by 10 shots to 6 on the 8th end. It was at 8 to 14 that Matthew, Les and John really found their rhythm. Slowly, one or two shots at a time they clawed their way back into the game and, on the 19th end, they had tied the game at 15 shots all. Could they continue to win the end for the 7th time or would Paul, Bert and Joe stage resurgence? Paul, Bert and Joe found that something and won by a shot to lead going into the last end. Would Matthew, Les and John find that will to win or would Paul, Bert and Joe continue their winning way? Matthew, Les and John did find that will to win but only by a shot tying the game at 16 all on the 21st end. Who could stand the pressure best and win the deciding end? Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Joe Wright won the end by a shot and the game by 17 to 16 shots. What a nail biter! Thanks for the entertainment boys. Rink 3 In a very close game, Alessandro Lattanzio and Trevor Wright showed great composure as their opposition closed in on them, to win by 20 shots to 17. Rink 4 Gary Thurston and Dooley Gould played gutsy bowls to come from behind and win by 29 to 19 shots. Rink 5 saw Ian Abberley and Mick Edwards play magnificent bowls to trounce their opposition by 27 shots to 16. Rink 7 In the Semi-Final match, Garnet Eastment and Graham Mills played marvellous bowls to be leading at one stage by 13 to 10 shots but Peter Smith and John Edwards experience saw them slowly catch up and then draw away to a well-deserved win by 22 to 14 shots.
Draw Results: 1st Prize Rink 3 Alessandro Lattanzio and Trevor Wright. 2nd Prize Rink 2 Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Joe Wright. 3rd Prize Rink 7 Peter Smith and John Edwards. 1st Spin Rink 2 Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Joe Wright NOT won. 2nd Spin Rink 5 Ian Abberley and Mick Edwards NOT won. 3rd Spin Rink 2 Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Joe Wright NOT won.

Berry Men
Excellent conditions has resulted in very competitive play over the past week. Tom Froggatt's form has persisted and he skipped Col Good and Nick Nicholls to victory over Ken Stephens, Barry Dunn and Adam Rigney. Other triples matches of note included a one shot victory to Ken Crocker, Phil Chittick and Nick Nicholls who trailed until they reached a tie on end 19, then were behind one shot on end 20 but scored two shots on end 21 to take the game from Mick Vassallo, Col Good and David Lambert.
Peter Haddon, Tom Froggatt and Derek Raymond had a high scoring match that did not let Harry Harrop, George Waddell and Laurie Watson show their skills and on the adjoining rink the taking of 13 of the ends gave the match to Arch Mackinnon, Barry Dunn and Peter Delamont from Steve Kellett, Ken Stephens and Terry Hayes.
The 2017 Presentation night is being held on Saturday 2nd December and bookings to 44641868 close 25th November.

The annual Culburra versus Orient Point challenge was played on Sunday – and as usual this fun event proved popular and was enjoyed by all. Team Orient Point just nudged out Culburra this year, with talk of revenge already circulating for next year’s challenge.
Thanks to Peter and Allen for cooking the sausage sizzle.
