Wednesday bowls: Only four games played last week in the Wednesday morning social bowls competition where card draw winners were David Williams and 'guest' from the South Coast, Ray Sanderson.
They proved 20-13 winners over Noel Jolliffe and Geoff Coles in 20 ends after leading 12-4 after 10.
Laurie Spackman and Barry Shine won 24-19 in 22 ends over Bill O'Connell and Kerry Dunstan. It was 6-all after seven then 19-all after 20 before the winners found line and length to win the last two ends 5-0.
Peter Mackay and Russell Hodge where on top from the first delivery to trounce Scott McKellar and Laurie Crouch 29-8 in 20 ends. They led 14-4 after 10 with club president Peter showing his best for some time much to the delight of his skip.
A game of triples had Fred Vogelsang, Ray Dunstan and Grant Lambert winning 10-4 over John Browne, Trevor Currey and Paul Doust. A note to highlight the game was every end was won by a single shot in the 14 end game.
