Pomona Bowls Club
Wednesday Ladies saw the final of the Fours Championship.
What a battle it turned into with the teams neck-and-neck throughout the whole game and 15 all at 21 ends.
An extra end was played and resulted in the team of Jeanne Price, Desley O’Neill, Gaye Bible and skipper Tina Camp winning by one point from Phyllis Roebuck, Elizabeth Dewhirst, Jocelyn Rabjohns and skipper Veronis O’Connor.
Social Wednesday and our new format of “bowls + buffet” saw 16 bowlers take to the green playing fours and triples.
Everyone enjoyed the new format and it has been decided to hold this event on the fourth Wednesday every month at 2pm.
Lucky winners on the day were Kevin Anderson’s fours team.
Thursday Neilson’s Quarries Sponsored event
A suggestion made on Wednesday to play singles instead of pairs proved so popular that numbers doubled!
This meant that 14 bowlers played three games of singles each of nine ends.
As it was some time since this format had been played and without any handicaps in place it was decided to spread the trophy money kindly donated by Neilson’s Quarries into six prizes of $15.
The recipients were Charlie and Bettina on 19 points, John Davies +20, Don Mallett +24 and Elizabeth and Walter +25.
Even those who were unfortunate not to be in the frame said they enjoyed the afternoon.
Friday Twilight Bowls saw 28 bowlers on the green with some very close games and a few teams with larger margins.
Winners were Jim O’Donnell and Keith Muir and runners up were Glenn Patterson and Greg Hodder.
The jackpot carries over until next week.
The Super Challenge was played at home on Saturday against Pacific Paradise.
Coming into the match Pomona with three wins from four were desperate for another win but were short three of the top bowlers.
Unfortunately Mel Hobbins, after an early lead, went down 24-31.
Scratch pair of Bill Alford and Trevor Walsh also went down so it was left to the pairs, triples and fours teams.
The pair of Sam Hands and Walter Horn, with both playing exceptional bowls, lead easily all the way until the third last end when the opposition made it 17 all.
The boys hung on for a well deserved win 24-17.
The new triples team of Don Mallett, Bob Andrews and Keith Muir were down 14-8 halfway through the game and things were looking grim.
Keith took control, downed a triple rum and held the opposition on 14 points for a staggering 11 ends, Pomona winning 31-19.
Last event and the fours team had never won a match.
However, the new combination of Rick Goulding, Chris Wilson, Daryl Millar and skipper Charlie Dewhirst rose to the occasion for a well earned win 21-6. Even Rick played well.
A three rink to two win.
