THE final of the club Mixed Fours Championships was played Saturday, December 21 and the victors were Peter Hall as skip, Chris Kane as third, Leonie Gilford as second and Dianne Lewis the lead and they accounted for Tom Moore as skip, Glen Dennes as third, Narelle Boyd the second and Laurelle Dennes.
Tom Moore's team did take the lead on the first end by picking up two shots but from there on it was Peter and his team who took control and led all the way to take the title with a score line of 27-14. Player of the match Dianne, Chris and Leonie gave the skip an 'armchair' ride for most the match, except for the final ends when Tom and his crew were able to pick up six shots.
On several occasions Tom was able to play some nice recovery bowls, but in the end his opponents were worthy winners of the crown.
January
ALL bowling members welcome our new board and there could be a breath of 'fresh air' circulating for the commencement of the New Year. The outgoing board members worked hard and long to keep our club alive last year and they deserve a pat on the back for their perseverance.
Pennants
OUR nominated selectors have been busy putting together teams for two trial games as well as an inter-club trial and towards the end of January the correct formation of all those teams should fall into place to commence Pennant games on March 2.
This Saturday
THE selected number two and five grade players are to travel to Manning Point for the first of the trial games. The seven grade will play the reserves at home and all players are requested to indicate their availability - at the time of going to print there were a number of players who have not ticked their name on the sheets. The following Saturday Taree Railway are to bring their teams to our club for trial games.
