Sunday morning mixed bowlo: With several of our members away at Red Rock Corindi competing in Red Rock Bowling Club’s Mixed Versatility Fives tournament: just two games were played at home this morning, one of Triples and one of Pairs. The Green was perhaps a little slow after the amount of rain it’s received over the past couple of nights but the morning was sunny and beautiful with very little wind to make a bowler’s life difficult. The results of the two matches were as follows: Rink (1). Jim Thorpe, Lynn Betts & Sep Weber d Taz Cameron, Dennis O’Brien & Ron Holmes 16-6; Rink (2). Allison O’Brien & Cliff Roger d Barney Kenny & John Betts 23-11. As always a good fun morning. All welcome just call the Club before 9 am Sunday and put your name in for a game. D McLachlan
