Mixed Pairs final
The Mixed Pairs final was played on Sunday morning. Steve Matheson and Carol Kriss deserved their victory and this year's title against Leonie Gilford and Matt Yeark. The final score was 26-10, however there were many very closely fought out ends and it was evident that the vast experience at higher levels for Steve shone out in the results of those ends. Carol returned to our Club three years back and she as lead played very well.

Leonie is a very experienced and competent bowler and on quite a few occasions throughout the game she was forced to disturb the head to get a result. Matt did his utmost and drew many good shots and he is no doubt the most improved bowler in the Club.
Wednesday Dad's Army
Allan Dodd was permitted to return to bowls this week after being sidelined since March. His team of Ross Piggott and Snow Trenchard with their +15 won the day be defeating Barry Kershaw, Andy Sloboda and Allan as swinging lead.
George Sinclair and Roger Else were in big trouble midway into the game against Jim and John Gillogly by being down 16-1 but they recovered slightly to go down with a +14.
Col Hinton and Winston Latimore got a +7 result over Justin Costa and Kiwi O'Donoghue.
Dally Hammond, Brian Williams and Rod Jenkins finished with a +3 against Greg Bartlett, Greg Cuttance and Andy Bissex.
Wednesday Twilight
Wednesday Twilight may have been short on numbers this week but certainly didn't lack enthusiasm. Two games of pairs was played.
In game one Tony Lowman paired up with Fatty Goward to take on Mark Hammond and Col McTaggart. The game was evenly poised throughout with both teams playing some good bowls, but in the end Col and Mark proved to strong running out winners 12-10.
In the second game Peter Howarth and Tony Coulcher took on Leroy Paulson and Jenny. There were some great bowls played and Tony and Peter ran out winners 12-4. This was only Jenny's second week at Twilight but she has improved in leaps and bounds. Tony and Leroy both played well and Peter played his usual consistent game. Hopefully a few more players will be on the greens this week.
