In a triples match Denis Byrnes, Kerry Dunstan and Barry White had a narrow win over Fred Vogelsang, Jim Maloy and Greg Ward.
Then in the pairs Don Hodson and Barry Shine returned with a 24:8 victory over Col Breaden and Scott McKellar. Well done gents.
The Wednesday before when we welcomed another new bowler Fons Melissi. Tony Bratton and Cliff Nelson scored a 17:14 win from Fons Melisssi and Alf Davies.
Bill O’Connell and Rad Stevens returned with a 17:10 winning card from Bill Looney and Denis Byrnes. Fred Vogelsang and Scott McKellar were happy with a 21:10 result against Jim Maloy and Ray Dunstan.
In a friendly game of triples Peter Mackay, John Gorton and Ray Sanderson returned just 12:10 in front of Rob Priest, Sid Morris and Kerry Dunstan.
I’d like to see the new bowlers switch over to some new bowls as it is a more accurate game.
