Grafton Services men’s bowls

Well last week will have to be a ‘results only’ news column from the Grafton Services Mens Bowling Club, as ‘Wrong Bias’ has come down with a bad dose of the flu/ bronchitis and can barely stop coughing for more than ten seconds at a time! Sorry…hopefully it will leave me as quick as it arrived, and I’ll be ok this time next week.

On Saturday April 9 we were able to play four second round matches in our Club Championships ‘Major Pairs’ for 2022. Some matches had to be deferred due to some players involved currently suffering from ‘Covid’… these matches will be played as soon as the players involved are available.

Results 

Ray Marchant & John Hall d John Cameron & Neil Holt 29 – 11.

Keith Garner & Robbie Power d Jason Ryan & Greg Taylor 24 – 5.

Tony Dalton & Craig Dalton d Matty Shorten & Gregg Maxted 27 – 11 after the scores were 11 all after 11 ends.

Harold Gibson & Barry Williams d Garry Gumbleton & Lee Bond 26 – 8.

On Wednesday April 6, we had 24 players for our social pairs, with the winners on the day being Mark Andrews & Mark Walsh; runners up went to Neville Henwood & Keith Garner, while the Consolation prize was won by Mitch Cook & Doug Morrisey.

On Friday April 8, we had 36 players keen for a game, with the winner’s prize going to George Mallison & Jamie Pye; runners up were Terry Glass and Leith Basset, and the Consolation prize went to Brian Napper & Ray Toovey.

Our ‘first resting touchers’ were won by Matty Shorten on Green 1, and Ronnie Piggot, also on green 1.

Our three ‘Free Game’ winners were Mark Walsh, Neville Henwood and Brian Hall.

See you next game…hopefully.
