KERANG GOLF
THURSDAY social bowls saw 21 players on a sunny afternoon participate in two games of eight ends, with three teams of four players and another three teams of three players.
The winners were Jim McLeish, Marlene Rawson, Ron McKerrow and Joyce Tuohey, who just managed to get the win over the team of Carol Pay, Laurie Gray, John Duckworth and David Randell.
The eagerly sought after chocolates were won by Frank Ritchie, Noel Robertson, Lorraine Douglas and Sonia McLeish, with the post holiday blues obviously setting in for Frank and Sonia, who combined the week before to blitz the field.
On AFL Grand Final eve, 40 club bowlers ventured to Lake Boga for our annual pre-pennant challenge match.
The weather was magnificent and on arrival, our Lake Boga hosts had prepared a sausage sizzle, which was enjoyed by all before the battle begun.
Games were played in pennant format of 21 ends straight through and at the end of the day, Kerang Golf Bowls retained the trophy for the third consecutive year, with both sides having five wins each, but Kerang Golf winning on shots 208 to 177.
The best winning rink for Kerang Golf was Laurie Gray, Michael Pors, Sid Hutchinson and Alison Medson, winning by a massive 28 shots – 36 to 8.
They were presented with Lake Boga coffee cups for their efforts, while Kerang Golf president Jim McLeish presented Kerang Golf glasses to Lake Boga’s best winning rink, skippered by M. Tempini, who defeated Richie Murray, Jim McLeish, Rob Fisher and Ian Charles 30 to 16.
Sunday brought some much needed rain to the area (not enough though) and no bowls were played.
Entry lists are on the noticeboard for all our club events and have closing dates on them, so please get your entries in early.
This Saturday (note the change of day) will see the annual captain verses presidents day.
Sides will be selected and sent out in our usual format, with a 1pm start time unless notified otherwise.
We are still looking for single or team entries for our night pennant to start shortly, please contact Howard (Aldo) McClelland or Jim McLeish to express your interest.
On Wednesday this week, we host players participating in the Barham Club Women’s Country Carnival, with 96 bowlers in action on our greens, so pop out and see some top class bowling.
