This week we played for the ever popular Greg Owen Triples event. It was attended by most of our district club lady bowlers.

We are very appreciative to have Greg Owen from Greg Owen Mechanical Repairs as our major sponsor; who has kindly done so over many years.

This event is little different to other games played in that your team of three bowlers must win their two games, then when you think you have done well, there’s more!!

The winners are then allotted a rink to bowl on with an official bowler standing on the other end with a yard stick measuring (you guessed it) one yard (36 inches). 

Each bowler in your team has one bowl and hopefully bowl within that stick measurement.  If you have done so, then your bowl is lifted onto the bank for all to see how your team has fared.

Surprising how one’s bowls do not behave at the end of the day!!

Winners of Greg Owen Triples

1st place – Leonie Gilford, Claudia O’Donnell, Denise Matheson (skip). Wingham BC.

2nd place – Ollie Lambert, Carmen Smith, Denise Cummins (skip). Taree Railway BC.

3rd place – Denise Polley, Joanne Duncan, Narelle Foy (skip). Wingham BC.

I notice that there was a bowler in each of the three placings (above) with a bowler called Denise!!

Special mention

Our guest bowlers were given a beautiful morning tea of home made slices on arrival, lunch and of course cheese and bickies to finish off their day.

Our thanks go to Greg and Chris Owen for their generous sponsorship, to the ladies who cooked slices etc and our helpers who made our day a pleasant one to remember. Last but not least, our match committee who take care of the problems that do arise over the course of the day.  A stress free day for the lady bowlers.

I noticed one lady bowler who had a recent injury to her lower leg. Miss Elaine had an altercation with the corner of the club’s stage.  This was done before lunch!!
