On Sunday against Maryborough Services Pomona’s men played great bowls and after 21 ends the score was 20 points even. An extra end was played with Pomona holding the shot however after opposing skip put down his last bowl Pomona lost the game by one point – a great effort.
In men’s B Grade second round Jim Farr won on forfeit and in the second semi-final Rick Goulding defeated Jim Farr.
It was a great final between Rick Goulding and Daryl (Deefa) Millar. Both bowlers were in top form on the day and were both very keen to win the game. It was even play throughout most of the match and although Daryl dropped a four about the 16th end, he quickly picked up – the score on the 20th end was 23 even. Daryl was holding one shot against Rick, however was just a tad heavy with his last bowl and knocked his own bowl out of contention giving Rick the game by 25 to 23. Congratulations to you both on a great game and the sportsmanship shown during the whole contest.
