TUESDAY jackpot pairs: Jim Donald and Casey Claydon.
Wednesday: Business Bowlers with full greens. Fun was had by all and everyone is vying for top spot, with only two weeks to go.
Thursday held an exciting A Grade singles final match fought out by Bevan Mahoney and Russell Butler. Russell was winning this game by quite a comfortable margin and then Bevan woke up and the score was 20-all. Russell was eventually the winner 25-21.
There were a few ladies turn up for a social game and we are looking for more ladies to come along and have a friendly game on a Thursday morning 9am to 11am. Please contact me on 0405 131 746 for more information. You do not have to have any experience.
Thursday evening: High Rollers played and there are four teams on 31 – should be an exciting night next week. It’s a secret, coming up close on 5th is 101s. Good luck everyone for the last night. The presentation dinner will be held on the 7 May.
If you would like to come along and try barefoot bowls or get some coaching there is someone on the greens Friday afternoon after 2.30pm.
If you are looking for a club to play bowls you are most welcome to come along and try us out. Call Lynne 0405 131 746, or email cooroycommunitybowls@gmail.com

What a great time of the year to be out bowling – sunny skies producing perfect weather, with greens rolling well.
Wednesday Bowls and Buffet afternoon saw a good group take to the green playing both pairs and triples. Plenty of keen contests however winners on the day were Jeanne Price and Charlie Dewhirst with +30.
Thursday bowls was enjoyed by a handful of fellows who came to play. Once again numbers were down so please consider putting your name on the board. And with men’s competitions now underway, it’s a great opportunity to practice your shots.
With the slightly cooler weather Friday Twilight bowls is proving a busy afternoon. Don’t forget starting time is 3.30pm so make sure you have your name called in by 2.45pm. Pairs was the order of the day with one rink of singles – Veronis O’Connor versus Russell Hill. At the end of play there were two teams on +17, and after a countback Veronis was declared winner while David Hands and Iris Quinn with +17 were runners-up. Jackpot was not won so carries over to next week.
Saturday Anzac Day bowls: Great attendance although quite a few bleary eyes from getting up early for the dawn services. Plenty of competition on the green, however Elizabeth Dewhirst and Russell Murray were across the line with a +9 and runners-up on +7 were Jim Farr, Don Mallett and Bob Andrews.
