Saturday afternoon was the final of the Men’s Pairs Championship and what a great game it turned out to be.
Having beaten the ‘old guard’ through the rounds, Norm Walmsley and Rick Goulding – ‘new guard’ – were determined to triumph over Sam Hands and Bob Andrews.
Sam and Bob were leading until about half way when, after a little sprinkle of rain, Norm and Rick started to pull ahead with the eventual outcome being Norm and Rick +21 to Sam and Bob +15.
Congratulations Norm and Rick – and to all who played in this Pairs Championship.
Saturday 25 April offers a chance for everyone to reflect on those who have served our country throughout the past 100 years. Lest we Forget.
Noosa Heads Bowls – The Chalker
The final two club championships were decided at Noosa Heads last week.
The ladies fours title was taken by the team of Debbie Austin, Jeanette Emery, Carol Studley and Gill Macdonald.
They scored over Cath Haddock, Fran Coules, Sharyn Briggs and Sophie Gale.
The men’s pairs final was a real thriller- a neck-and-neck battle right down to the wire.
After 19 ends the score was tied up at 11 shots all with two ends to play, but then Bob King and David Deane won the last ends to take the title 17-11 over Allan Pearson and John Boyle.
King won his first Noosa Heads title 28 years ago and was delighted to bookend his career at the club with this win.
A total of 120 bowlers, plus guests, turned out last Saturday for a special benefit day for the family of popular bowler and greenkeeper Garyth Williams who lost his short battle with serious illness last Thursday.
A big contingent from the neighbours at Sogo Bar was in attendance and they were among the many who contributed generously to the day.
The club closes down in a few weeks and the indications are that about 60 per cent of bowlers will relocate to Tewantin and 20 per cent to Coolum Beach.
The rest are still deciding their new home.
