POMONA BOWLS
WEDNESDAY – Pomona Ladies and their partners and friends enjoyed a very festive Christmas lunch at the Appolonian Hotel, Boreen Point.
There was lots of laughter and a pleasant gathering of very happy bowlers.
Thursday Scroungers had plenty of bowlers taking to the green.
This game will be played throughout the holiday season so make sure to put your name on the whiteboard.
“Jag the Joker” was not won so come along and enjoy a game of bowls and try to “Jag the Joker” worth over $2500.
Friday Twilight Bowls – low in numbers but great in quality with only eight bowlers taking to the rinks.
Winners with a huge score were Sheena Millar and Frank Long +17, with runners-up John Davies and Don Walker +4.
Don’t forget to put your name down for next week as the jackpot must be drawn.
Saturday Pomona Club’s Ham Day – skips selected while leads were drawn from the paddlepop dip. Two games, eight hams, two hams for the raffle and two for a surpise draw.
First game runner-up Sheena Millar and Rick Goulding 16, with win going to Glenn Johnson and Jocelyn Rabjohns 17.
Second game runner-up Jeanne Price and Charlie Dewhirst 14, with winners Mark Edwards and Carole Broadbent 15.
The raffles were won by Glenn Johnson and Mel Hobbins.
Mystery prize hams – this was based on the lowest margin for the second game and the winners of the special ham were Linda McDougall and Tina Camp.
Doesn’t always pay to come home with the first prize!
A big thank you to all Pomona bowlers and wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2017.
