THIS week saw yet another threatened east coast low! So with our fingers crossed we hoped to get at least some bowls in.
I would like, at this point, to thank Geoffrey Muggleton for the outline of Wednesday Men’s Bowls I present in this Men’s Report. Geoff emails this report to the men every week, thanks Geoff.
MEN’S RESULTS WE 25.08.25
Wednesday Gala Day 20th August – Sponsor today was Carl’s AutoCare Tea Gardens
Our men arrived on Wednesday morning looking at a very gloomy outlook weatherwise! We had received a considerable amount of rain Tuesday afternoon, but the synthetic was looking playable, so the matches went ahead, albeit with a change of format to playing one session of 18 ends to which we had 35 bowlers.
Only one winner today being the highest winning score of 31 – Wayne Duggan, John Bates & Mark Nightingale
The Garden Eatery Voucher – won by Graham Uff – many thanks to Garden Eatery for once again sponsoring this voucher.
Major Pairs Men’s Final Sunday 24th August, 2025
Our finalists Denis Ashbridge & Geoff Muggleton vs Chris Ross & Scott Fitzalan
Well what a masterclass in bowling our 30+ spectators witnessed on a sunny almost warmish Sunday afternoon.
Chris & Scott took a lead early on, and at 12 ends Chris & Scott took a commanding 18-4 lead.
However in the true grit spirit of Denis & Geoff, they provided the spectators with some amazing bowling, with plenty of applause coming from the gallery and at 18 ends the scoreline read 19-9 to Chris & Scott. The final score of 24-9 at 20 ends gave Chris & Scott a well deserved victory.
Well done to all four gentlemen on a fine performance.
LADIES RESULTS WE 25.08.25
Our 17 ladies gathered at the Club on Tuesday 19th August, with a feeling that bowls may well be cancelled today, because of the very grey sky & impending rain event predicted to hit on Tuesday.
As the cards were called it started to sprinkle – however, the ladies soldiered on. We had 3 games of triples today, with a special thanks to Carolyn Fredericks for being a swinger today!
The heavens opened at around 12 noon – with 2 rinks calling it at 15 ends & one rink at 17 ends.
The winners today with the highest margin were Deb Gardner, Pam Gilchrist & Jean Glover.
Once again Thursday was cancelled, by, you guessed it, heavy rain!
