COOROY BOWLS
WHAT a great week at Cooroy Community Bowls Club. The Ladies’ Fiesta was a wonderful success with teams attending from far and wide. The Tewantin team were the overall winners with Albert coming in as runners-up, while the Cooroy 1 team took the mystery prize.
The McGrath Family Day which was an annual event for many years, and was resurrected, has been a great success with 10 teams playing. Much fun and frivolity was had by all and the winners went home with good prizes. Thanks needs to go to the McGrath Family and their loved ones for putting on a fabulous afternoon of bowls and fun. Many teams vowed to return next year!
The mixed fours championships saw neck-and-neck ends down to the last bowl. Eric Kenzler once again skilfully played the winning bowl by taking the jack and giving his team of; himself, wife Helen and old buddies Sandra and Ben French the winning points. Commiserations need to go to the McGrath family team but it was a wonderful match by all accounts.
101’s remain the only team which is undefeated so they sit on the top of the ladder in the High Roller’s Challenge. JeLS, BAM and Kybong Kids sit on equal second place. High Rollers had a win this week.
The Tuesday afternoon challenge was won by Russell Butler, Ken Smith and Noel Gilvarrey.

The finalists have been decided for the club championship fours with team Deane due to do battle against team Lloyd this Saturday. The draw is out for the ladies’ consistency championship with the first matches to be played this week.
In regular games, Tuesday pairs went to Roy Cornish and John Scruton, who had the highest winning margin, with Paul Rieck and Neville Craig runners-up.
