This week again Sandy put the mats in a different place and it was hard to keep the bowls on the mat Betty took the jack off and then Doreen took it off it makes it more interesting and twice the jack was right at the edge of the mat and Vera came down with the perfect bowl and took the shot bowl out and sat with two shots very well done.

Winners were Sandy Joan and Betty McGrath three wins 36 points. Runners up Doreen Rogers and Liz England two win one lose 16 points.

The warmer weather reflects numbers particularly in our Tuesday games where some players need to follow on behind games in play due to the shortage of fields. Tuesday’s golf croquet results reflect a diverse range of scores this week, with some close shaves and some fairly big losses. Congratulations and commiserations are due in all games. Clean sweepers with three wins were Harley Stewart, Bob Murray and Bruce Field.

Saturdays Aussie games were as competitive as ever with three teams being dismayed by being pipped at the post resulting in 14/13 scores. Harley Stewart in particular was shattered as he missed the post on his final shot resulting in a loss for he and team partner Jill Rubie. This can be a heart wrenching game at times!! Clean sweepers on Saturday were Bob Murray, Lorraine Todd and Colleen Liebich.
