WEDNESDAY 08.02.26
Friday 06.02.26 – Visiting Club Fingal Bay Ferrets
This Friday Tea Gardens Bowling Club welcomed the travelling Fingal Bay Ferrets. The call went out on Thursday 5th February, for any Tea Gardens Bowlers who were available to come to an afternoon of bowls to this mixed event.
On a hot Friday afternoon 12 TGCC bowlers gathered to welcome the Fingal Bay Ferrets. Thanks to Rick Islaub, one of our Bowl Co-ordinators who put together 4 rinks of 3 bowls triples. On the day we had 12 Fingal Bay bowlers & 12 Tea Gardens bowlers, which equated to 23 men & 1 very brave lady – ME !! Talk about a ‘chook in the rooster pen’. The things I do to report on the bowling activities !
However, what a very very fun afternoon of jovial absolute good fun! No shortage of sledging from all participants & I held my own !! After 12 ends of much laughter & banter we retired to the clubhouse to share drinks with more good spirits. What an absolute pleasure it was to host this great group of travelling bowlers. The winners today Tony from TG & Boof & Jim from Fingal Bay – absolutely no idea why they won !!
Sponsor for this week is MICHAEL COOKSON SURVEYORS
