NOOSA HEADS BOWLS
THE weather conditions caused a few cancellations in our bowls schedule last week but we still got quite a bit done on the three days we could play.
Tuesday men’s pairs winners were Steve Bowie and Ron Wallish, taking the first-round losers section were Victorian visitors David Wiener and Greg Harper and Wednesday ladies triples winners were Joan Laney, Sophie Gale and Wendy Jarrett.
The ladies A singles is at the semi-final stage with Jan Burkitt to play Gill Macdonald and Sharyn Briggs to do battle with Jenny Bowie.
The early rounds of the A singles for men were played on Sunday and the semis will be Ross Ward versus David Lavery and Ron Wallish versus Cliff Hackett. Those games will be played on Sunday morning with the final in the afternoon.
Saturday’s Super Challenge matches were postponed and round six will see the Noosa Bronze Section at home to Kenilworth this week. Section 8 men will travel to Wynum, and the ladies are off to Beenleigh.
Next Monday is Bowls Revolution Noosa 1500 day and it looks like we will again have a capacity 48 teams of pairs battling it out for the attractive prize-money.

TEWANTIN NOOSA BOWLS
SAINTS and Sinners: Travelling bowlers from the Tweed Area are visiting our club on 27 and 28 February. Anyone interested in a game, especially on the Saturday at 1pm, is welcome to put their name down (Saints and Sinners are great company and there is no charge for members and only $5 for non-members. Format is two games of 11 ends, three-bowl triples).
Men’s Sunday AM pairs: ‘Robbo’s Day’ was very successful. Winners were Nev Jones and Bob Ingram, followed by Troy Rowley and Glen Whyte, and Shane Burke and Ken Jaekel.
Tuesday ladies two-bowl triples: Winners were Noel Ruff, Val Reinicke and Daphne Reid. Runners-up were Pat McIvor, Connie Johnston and Claire Anderson.
Wednesday men’s pairs: Winners were Peter Renwick and Wayne Pendergast (2+33). Runners-up were Greg Halloway and Steve Chandler (1+19). The jackpot of $131 was not won and carries over.
Unfortunately, Thursday night’s twilight (6-9) open pairs and ‘Friendly Friday’ open triples were both washed out this week.
Superchallenge: Our Silver had a win against Scarborough and our Bronze men had a win over Pacific Paradise but the ladies were defeated.
Men’s championships: A singles final (Ramsden versus Buckley). First round of the championship pairs (Sunday 1 March, at 1pm).
The passing of a ‘gentleman’: It is with regret that I announce the passing of Les Armstrong after a long illness. Les was a supporter of bowls in the Noosa area for many years. He was a well respected member of Tewantin-Noosa Bowls Club and our former media officer and my mentor.
