The Section 8 side had a win and a draw at Scarborough to register nine points. The men’s Section 5 Bronze could only manage two rink wins against Pomona but Section 8 took the points at Nambour Heights, 3-2.

Pomona Bowls
THIS week the weather has been very kind for our bowls events.
Wednesday 28 January, ladies day, with a small number of dedicated bowlers vying for the prize – a dip in the big box and who knows what you might find. Lucky winners of the day were J. Price, J. Mallett, S. Foale and T. Camp (s).
Thursday was club selected pairs with 16 players, and winners were D. Millar and L. McDougall with runners-up Doug (visiting bowler) and D. O’Neill.
Friday twilight bowls had 30 bowlers on the green with some varying successes, nevertheless enjoyed by all who played. Winners were F. Long and V. O’Connor with +19, and runners-up N. Wormsley and D. Mallett +14.
Saturday was the Super Challenge with our players travelling to Noosa Heads for their game. On a hot windy day a very close and interesting match evolved. Mel Hobbins once again held his cool for a 31-28 win. Walter Horn and Trevor Walsh once again played outstanding bowls to win by a narrow margin 22-20. The new triples team with Greg Hodder as skip, Russell Murray (mid) and lead Daryl Millar had a convincing 28-15 win. Second pair and fours team lost narrowly 3-2 to Pomona. A big thank you to the Pomona followers who came along to cheer on the players.
Next Super Challenge game is away to Kandanga on Saturday 7 February.

Cooroy Bowls
IT’S business as usual at Cooroy Community Bowls Club now that the renovations of the greens have been completed.
Games are back to normal on Tuesday afternoon (jackpot pairs), Wednesday night (business bowls) and Thursday night (high rollers). Saturday afternoon is on hold for a few weeks while we are involved in the Bowlers Paradise Hinterland Local League. Roll-ups and barefoot bowls can be organised through the Hub.
Our first Tuesday jackpot pairs session had a great roll up despite the hot weather. Everyone enjoyed rolling a bowl after such a long break.
Saturday afternoon saw the men at home playing Yandina in the Hinterland Challenge. The four-bowls pairs team of David Hatelely-James and Colin Gilmour went down while the three-bowls pairs team of Kerry Knowles and Russell Butler were the victors. The triples team of Ric Sorrensen, Roley Hassall and Geoff Green lost while the fours proved to be too strong for the Yandina opposition. Bill Haack, Gary Kenzler, M. Gregory and Kennedy McGrath made up the winning team.
The ladies played at Nambour. The pairs team of Lynne Hateley-James and Bettina Winkler beat the home team while Sandra French, Margaret Dawson and Julie Ainscough lost in the triples.
Business bowls and high rollers commence this week. The night games are always popular in the summer months.
