Winter Bowls Tournament – Week 3

Once again todays game was played with the sun shining and brilliant blue skies.  I did worry at 6.30am that morning when I heard the rain falling pretty hard.  When I got up at 7am the rain had stopped, I looked out the window and saw grey skies.  A quick check on the BOM website and the rain was moving away from Edithvale and there was no more rain coming.  Sent a confirmation text to all players to let them know that we had patches of blue sky and no rain was coming.  The Winter Tournament – Game 5 & 6 will be played today.

Players turned up with big coats, beanies and scarves and were ready to play today.  By the time the first game had finished the coats and scarves were off and the greens were drying fast.  Inside for a quick break after the first game we all enjoyed some home made choc chip cookies with our cuppa.  Back outside for the second game and the weather started getting warmer, some players were even playing in short sleeve shirts.  The second game of the day was finished before 1pm and we came inside for lunch and birthday cake for Sally’s birthday.

Today’s results – Runner-up  – Mary Weston with 27 shots          Winner – Barb Sharp with 28 shots ( that’s 2 weeks in a row for Barb)

Thanks to Jenni Van Nierop for filling in today and to players who helped set up and pack away.  Next week is the last week and the top 5 positions are very close.  Current ladder leaders are:-

Barb Sharp – 70      Heather Redpath – 67         Marika Forras and Mary Weston – 66           KIngsley Ellis – 64        Garry Dodge – 60
