Our team of Lyall Strudwick, Graham West and Geoff Williams played well on the Saturday to win all three of their games, defeating two Parkes teams and the Belrose team, to take the lead for the day.
Sunday’s first game became a disaster for our boys but they improved as the day wore on and after a quick change of positions we had a runaway win. Results: Col Hayward’s team from Parkes took first place with five wins; second was Tom Fury’s Parkes team with four wins and 40 shots then our team with four wins and 31 shots. Followed by John Venteman’s Belrose team and Steve Frame’s Railway team.
Well done gents.
Jack attack: Normal Friday night bowls is on tonight but next Friday October 20 we will have a crack at Jack Attack! It is the 20:20 of bowls, fast paced and lots of fun. Jack Attack is a more social game and aimed to target generations X and Y, so invite some new players.
