Women’s Bowls
By MAUREEN MILLER
Eighteen bowlers took to the greens that are running hot, thanks to ground control, who are working hard to get it ready for 3 Open Pennants Grades playing next Sunday.
If you want to watch some great bowls, come to the club at 11am.
Ann S, Kay and Cherie had a slow start against Irene A, Chris C and Lorraine in their game of turn around triples but slowly got some wind in their sails on the sixth end to bluster home with a narrow win over Lorraine’s team, great bowls played by all.

Irene T, Carol and Jan played Michele, Lynn and Maureen with Maureen’s team having the tail wind until the 9th end when Jan’s team played up a storm and didn’t lose an end until the last had a win.
During a lull in the storm Michele discovered she was ambidextrous playing a great left-handed bowl surprising us all including herself!
In the last game Gwen, Lil and Marja played into the crosswinds of Betsy, Merilyn and Rhona.
This was a game that rained good bowls by all players.
Betsy was very blustery putting down the jack before the mat, but Marja’s team put up some sandbags and it was anyone’s game, Rhona’s team hung on to take the win.
Into the shelter of the club for our lunch and pancakes for dessert.
Thank you Rhona, you always have great food ideas.
With full tummies the jackpot rink 4 was drawn and Irene T pressed for the number 7 but was one short, so the jackpot increases to $120 next week.
On to the hundred club and Jan, Maureen, Betsy and Lorraine were happy with their loot.
