Wednesday at One – Trevor Curry is the man to watch, he has his bowls on remote control. Last Wednesday Trevor and Scott McKellar combined well to return a 13:10 win from the formidable team of John Gorton and Barry Shine. There was a 15 all draw between team Fred Vogelsang and Brian Tisdell who played Team Jim Maloy and Rob Priest.
The game of Don Hodson and Merv Langfield against Bill O’Connell and Eddie Gould was not a draw. It took Eddie and Bill ten ends to get onto the board, but that’s bowls. Sometimes you have luck and sometimes you don’t. Ernie Egan and Sid Maloy picked up a 23:15 win from Ray Sanderson and Barry Wright.
Finally John Cutler and a visitor David Harvey had a well-deserved 18:16 win from Alf Davies and Mel Sinclair. Thanks gents see you again on Wednesday. Have a happy Easter.
