POMONA BOWLS
A GREAT weekend was enjoyed by all when we hosted a visit from Burnett Bowls Club. And what a great bunch of people they were.
Saturday afternoon game had the points at Pomona 146 v Burnett 136. Unfortunately, the tide turned on the Sunday morning game with Burnett coming up trumps and defeating Pomona by two points. A big thank you to all the Pomona players who helped make this such an excellent weekend. We look forward to a return match in 2016.
Ladies Results: Ladies A Grade final was played on Wednesday between Tina Camp and Veronis O’Connor. With Tina defending her win in 2014, it was a great game to watch with some excellent shots by both ladies. Although it was a close encounter, final congratulations to Tina on her great win and her back-to-back double as our A Champion.
Unfortunately, the Thursday men’s game is not enticing players so if you have a spare Thursday please consider to put your name down. This is a great day to practice your shots and hone up your skills particularly with pennants coming up.
Friday twilight bowls saw a good number on the green. Our bowlers don’t seem to mind the cooler weather and there was plenty of “bopping around” to the music supplied by Rick.
Winners on the evening were the triples team of Julanne Brown, Glenn Patterson and skip Norm Walmsley (just back from a three-week holiday). Runners-up were Ruth Kelliher and Iris Quinn. The jackpot was won and shared by triples team of Gary Cornell, Kerry White and Linda McDougall.
The men’s B Grade singles have commenced and first round game results so far are – Russell Murray d Gary Cornell; Rick Goulding d Glenn Patterson. The first round game between John Davies and Chris Wilson will be played this coming week. Second round – Daryl Millar d Russell Murray. Jim Farr and Bob Andrews both had a bye and progressed immediately to the second round.
