Tewantin Noosa Bowls
WE are settling back into our bowls, although the weather has been either hot or wet!
The semi-final match-ups in the men’s championship A singles are Bob Mulvogue versus Ian Ramsden and Ken Jaekel versus David Buckley, to be played on Sunday 1 February.
Men’s Sunday AM pairs are not played this week due to A singles.
Tuesday ladies winners were Gloria Nunn, Dossie Buckley and Pat Becker (+25). Runners-up were Noel Ruff (the token male), Judy Lord and Jenny Lonie (+4).
Wednesday men’s pairs winners were Terry O’Neil and Len Saunderson (2+31). Runners-up were Bill O’Sullivan and Don Gull (1+15). The jackpot of $28 was won and ‘shared’ by teams Muir and McDonald.
Thursday night’s twilight (6-9) open pairs. Apologies, bowls were cancelled due to closure of greens.
The jackpot of $271 was not won and carries over.
Superchallenge: Silver defeated by Kalangur and the Bronze narrowly defeated by Pomona, with the result coming down to the last bowl of the last end in the pairs.

Noosa Heads Bowls
TUESDAY men’s pairs winners were John Stratsma and Dennis Coulter. Next best winning margin was recorded by Matt Pearson and Graeme Yeoman.
Wednesday ladies had a paddle-pop event (well may you ask). Prize winners were Wendy Jarrett, Valerie Bush, Judith Boakes and Jan Burkitt.
Friday’s jackpot pairs was washed out.
Saturday pairs winners were Frank Turton and Beryl Nelson, with the triples section taken by Kerry Roberts, Eileen McDonald and Trish Parker. There was also a round of the men’s club fours played on Saturday with David Lavery’s team scoring over Paul Rieck’s. They now progress to a semi-final match against Shane Burke’s four next Sunday, with Garyth Williams playing Bob King in the other clash.
The first of this year’s Noosa 1500 open pairs will be played next Monday and, again, a capacity field has entered. The two-game format, and attractive prize-money, has proven a real winner since the event was introduced two years ago. The last of these days will be held on the first Monday in April as we will be winding up when Coles assumes full control of our Noosa Junction site in May.
Super Challenge play resumes this Saturday with Section 5 men at home to Pomona and Section 8 off to Nambour Heights. The ladies 5s are at home to Kawana with the 8s away at Scarborough.

Pomona Bowls
THE rain last week was very welcome – however it did nothing for our bowling events.
Wednesday ladies day saw play of fours and triples. Winners of the day were Oliver MacKellar, Linda McDougall, Elizabeth Dewhirst and Tina Camp.
Thursday selected pairs – what a wash out. With only two ends played the game was called off due to the heavy rains.
Friday Twilight Bowls – well with the green looking like a swimming pool – and the players needing their umbrellas and swim suits – it was cancelled. Things were looking really grim at Pomona.
Thank heavens for Monday – Australia Day – and with 16 very happy players on the field playing two games of 12 ends – even though it was extremely hot – a great afternoon of bowls was enjoyed. Big thanks to Tina and Veronis for the wonderful Aussie barbecue and nibbles after the final game. With final winners being Garry Proctor (visitor from New Zealand) and John Davies with a 2W +17; runners-up Russell Murray and Charlie Dewhirst 2W +15.
