Huskisson Women
What an exciting match played on 30th January between two very worthy finalists - Heather Hart and Lynne Noon. They both came to the final after winning some very close games so it was a well matched event. The weather was good and all our bowlers & supporters watched on as the game progressed. It was close...at the 5th end it was 5-all and at the 11th end it was 8-all after which Lynne pulled ahead with Heather close behind. By the 28th end it was 22-all.
Both women were bowling sensationally and the heads were consistently tight. They regularly moved the jack strategically to achieve a win so it was a fascinating game to watch with a cliff-hanger finish. The 29th end saw Heather on 24 and Lynne on 22 and it could have been anyone's Championship. Lynne then bowled to a 3-shot lead which saw her win the Championship 25-24. Well played Heather & Lynne. It was a great game and very fitting of the championship final. Congratulations to Lynne Noon on winning the 2018 Club Singles Championship.
Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen Men
Great bowls weather had a good rollup both days. On Tuesday we entertained the Directors of the Towradgi Bowling Club with an evening of Mixed Triples. Wednesday saw 26 players enjoying the warm, cloudy conditions and fast green. One game of Social Triples and five games of Social Pairs were contested. The perfect weather on Saturday saw 27 players enjoying the Final’s match of the Club Four’s Championship as well as two games, one with a swinger, of Mixed Social Triples and two of Mixed Social Pairs. On Sunday we had two teams, skippered by John Edwards and Peter Smith, representing our Club in The South Coast District Bowling Association’s Triples Competition.
Wednesday 7th February a SE breeze cooled the players while a fast green was appreciated. Rink 9 In the game of Triples, Paul Takac, Bert Watson and Roy Cartledge played outstanding bowls to demolish their opposition by 29 to 15 shots. Rink 10 In the first game of Pairs, Alan Furniss and Trevor Wright combined superbly to bring home the sags by 26 shots to 12. Rink 11 The game of the week witnessed Bert Madge and Peter Smith get away to a flier by winning the first 6 ends by 10 shots to zip. Ken Taket and Ray Solway dug deeply and fought back with a 2 and then a fantastic four only to see Bert and Peter extend the lead with a fabulous three. Ken and Ray just wouldn’t lay down and die and responded in the best way possible with a brace of 3’s to be only 2 shots behind at 12 to 14 on the 14th end. Another flurry and Ken and Ray are only 1 shot behind on the 18th end. Not to be denied, Bert and Peter pulled off a fabulous three to be leading by 19 to 15 on the 19th end. On the penultimate end, Ken and Ray kept themselves in the game with a terrific two to be only 2 shot behind. Could they keep up this pressure or would Bert and Peter reassert their dominance? Ken Taket and Ray Solway did keep their concentration and won the end by a whopping 3 shots to win the game by 20 to 19. What a comeback! Rink 12 Saw an excellent game of bowls with Norm Schulz and Michael Edwards playing brilliantly to win by 28 shots to 23. Rink 13 Just back from the cruise ship, John O’Dell with John Edwards played immaculate bowls to trounce their opponents by 24 to 9 shots. Rink 14 This was a harder fought game than the scores imply with Terry Wright and Dooley Gould playing wonderful bowls to overcome the opposition by 20 shots to 13.
