The ladies teams competition continues to roll along nicely, with Irene Trezise, Barb Evans, Kath Westblade and Cheryle Baker notching the awards for the day, defeating Yvonne’s side by eight.
New bowler Mary Rodwell was a welcome addition to our ranks.
Midweek pennant commences on the 9th, but with both sides having a bye, those available will have a practice session from 1pm. Casual clothes only are needed.
Sixty-and-over bowlers travelled to Racecourse, where only Jeff Reade’s side was good enough to win all games.
After a five way roll-off for second, the remaining poultry went to Bill Waters (skip) the two Peters and Barney.
Barham Sports hosts the game this Thursday.
Members who filled the Bingo roster for September are thanked for their contributions, as are the men who turned out on Monday to help prepare the greens prior to the pennant starting.
Best wishes to all who are in the various teams this Saturday.
Although a couple short, it looks as if all teams will be able to compete thanks to some willing emergencies coming forward.
As mentioned last week, all draws for club events are on the board, except for the minor singles which needs a few more names to make a viable competition.
Dates will be added shortly, so plan ahead to save those last minute hassles in completing games.
On Sunday several members joined the Northern District teams for a practice match against Murray Valley, also at Racecourse.
Both the men’s and ladies’ sides won overall, very decisively, with the rink of Bluey Fletcher, Ron Eckhardt, Ray Storey and Mike Hofman taking men’s honours, while Yvonne Eckhardt, Carol Pay and Jeanie Devitt, plus a local sub, was the best ladies outfit on the day.

Last Friday we held our annual Northaven Day Tournament.
Despite a number of other scheduled events in the community, we had 32 players who did their best in very windy conditions in support of Northaven.
Thanks to donors of the raffle prizes and our Friends of Northaven ladies who ran a stall which boosted the funds raised. No team won three games but there were four two-game winners with 2 points separating them all.
Winners for the day were Marty Infantino (skipper) Terry Nolan, Don Jenkins and Jacqui Jenkins and runners-up were George Fenton (s), Murray Sutherland, Graeme Morris and Gerald Williamson.
We were pleased to welcome Jeecinta Lightbody (residential care and services manager) and Lyn Steel (activities director) from Northaven to make the presentations.
Jeecinta thanked all for their support and spoke on the progress being made there.
Yesterday we played our Drawn Triples and are now preparing for the first round of pennant next Wednesday, October 9.

Division 2 v Pyramid Hill at home – J Hicks (s), C Adams, G Fenton, D Randell; L Adams (s), M Troy, B Lyne, M. Tilley.
All the best for pennant teams as they commence competition.
A reminder to all that an umpires’ information session is to be held at our club on the evening of Monday, October 7 with all who are interested welcome to attend.
Good bowling to all clubs for the 2019-20 season.
