On a day that gave us a variety of weather conditions – sun, heat, cloud and rain (but no wind!) the last triples event for the month was held on 31 July. We were fortunate to complete the day before some rain, which could have spoiled what was a very pleasant day.
It was good to see a couple of our newer bowlers in Christine Tordeich and Queenie de la Croix participating in their first outing on a Thursday. Both acquitted themselves very well and played some good bowls. Well done to Russell Parkinson in giving them this opportunity.
There were two 4 winners and one 3 ½ winner who took out the major prizes. There were several 3 winners who unfortunately did not share in the major prizes which once again demonstrates the level of competition in our Thursday tournaments.
The results were:
1st David Lloydd, John Lindsay, Bill Lowe 4 wins 27 ends
2nd Phil Chisholm, Colleen Rice, Theresa Rogers 4 wins 23 ends
3rd Jan Gledhill, David Payne, Jodie Collier 3 ½ wins 26 ends
Daily Prize 4 contenders but having 2 wins with 16 ends the winners were
Bob Telfer, Murray Mathieson, Jan Calcott
Luck Draw Peter Orgias, Gordon Jenkins, Allan Langley
