POMONA BOWLS
THE wet weather caused a disaster to many of the bowls events.
Ladies A grade championships have commenced and several of the first round games were played earlier in the week. Tina Camp defeated Fay Beadnell in a hard-fought game 25-20. Both ladies played great bowls and it was only on the last two ends that Tina surged ahead enough to win. Judy Muir defeated Glenda Rohde 25-11 in a game where Judy dominated. Although toward the later part of the game Glenda improved her game, there was not sufficient time to catch up.
Jocelyn Rabjohns defeated Jeannie Price 26-15 in another game where Jocelyn dominated the first half of play and although in the second half Jeannie endeavoured to catch up this did not happen. Congratulations to all who participated.
Wednesday’s social game was won by the team of Jill Mita and Des Quin with +19. Well done to you both.
The Gympie division championship fours were played during the week and the Pomona team of Elizabeth Dewhirst, Desley O’Neill, Veronis O’Connor and Tina Camp (skip) were very successful and set themselves up for a final event against a team from Albert skipped by Joyce. Unfortunately our girls went down 12-21, however congratulations to them on great play throughout the competition.
