Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen Men
The weather this week was defined by one word, windy. Wednesday saw us playing in light Sou Easterly winds. We did finish 3 games of Social Triples and 3 games of Pairs. On Saturday the blustery 30 to 40 knot winds blew us off the green. All play was cancelled including the Grand Final of the Club Triples Championship.
Wednesday 2nd August, was a sunny afternoon with a light wind. The greens were running at a medium pace.
Rink 1 saw a tough game of Triples where Josh Ward, Steve Hollington and Don Salway came home strongly after a slow start, to take the game on the last 2 ends by 21 to 15 shots.
Rink 2 Paul Takac, Neil Miller and Joe Mejlak played the wind superbly to decimate their opposition by 29 shots to 11.
Rink 3 witnessed the game of the week. Matthew Rosina, Ken Taket and Gary Tearle burst out of the mats with a fantastic four shot end to see them leading by 7 shots to 2 on the 5th end. Les Stuart, Allan Furniss and Ray Solway steadied the ship but a fabulous 3 by Matthew, Ken and Gary saw them draw further apart to be leading by 11/5 shots. Les, Allan and Ray finally compensated for the wind and took the next 5 ends to leap into a lead of 18 shots to 13. Matthew, Ken and Gary closed the gap with another fabulous 3 shot end then tied the game with a great 2 shot win on the 19th end. It was anyone’s game at this point. Who could master the wind over the next 2 end? Les Stuart, Allan Furniss and Ray Solway managed to do the impossible and win the next two ends by a shot each to finally take the game by 20 to 18 shots. A great game in trying condition was appreciated by all.
Rink 4 This great tussle saw Tommy Smith and Alessandro Lattanzio playing wonderful bowls to outlast their opponents by 21 to 18 shots.
Rink 5 In another tough game, Terry Wright and Harry Pearce showed they could adjust their game to the conditions and come home the winners by 18 shots to 15.
Rink 6 observed David Solomon and Peter Smith play consistently accurate bowls to overwhelm their opposition by 24 to 16 shots.

Mollymook Men
FOURS CHAMPIONSHIP: The final played last Saturday was a tough day for both teams, not only because it was the final, but the strong wind added another dimension. Ron Walls team Mark Sommerville, Jack Field, & Sid Brand got away smartly to a 10/1 lead after five ends against Al Wynter (skip), Craig Lees, Rob Morton & Graham Smith. The Wynter team however fought back to a 4 shot deficit after the 11th, but stalled on early double figures & that was that. The Wall team was just too strong on the day, final score 26/17 with one end to play. BOWLS PREMIER CUP: Played at Mollymook for the south coast region, this event by Bowls Australia is a pathway event progressing through regional,state & national levels. The event was won by Mollymook's Ron Wall (skip), Glen Dickson & David Munt who had to play well to beat Paul Barnes, Sid Brand and Mick Dundas, who won the second set.
