It has been a while since our blogspot was updated so here we we go. We have a new umpire in our ranks which is great. Anne Nichols has completed her umpire’s course and has been able able to practise her skills during the Club Pairs which is running at the moment. We really appreciate that she has taken the time and effort to take on this role.
Our Club pairs have been running and the final will be between Sally Murphy and Denise Wickman playing Sue Newman and Anna MCLeod . The game played today between Anna’s team and Margaret Hickman and Kim Trethewy was very exciting. Sue and Anna got off to a great start with some accurate draw bowls. The spectators were drawn into the game when Kim’s team came from 10 shots down to be behind by only 1 shot going into the final end. Accurate draw bowls from Sue gave them the shots and the final score was 25 to 20. Congratulations to very worthy winners and the final on Thursday should be very exciting. You won’t be disappointed if you come along to have a look.
Club triples has been posted so reach out to other players and put a team together.
Next Tuesday , we will be celebrating Australia Day early , so come along in your Australia Day mufti gear if you like. Social committee is planning something to help us celebrate!
Sadly, we lost a long time member of our club just before Christmas. She lost her battle with melanoma which had been very unkind to her over the last few years. Judy was a member of Breakers Women’s Bowling Club for 18 years and had been a member of Social, Match and Selection committees during those years. Judy was always ready for a joke and got up to a bit of mischief with her team mates over her bowling career. She was always ready to act as controlling body or to step in whenever a team was short handed. We miss her kindness and send our condolences to her family. Her funeral is today at Greenway at 12 noon.
Hi everyone.
Happy New Year to you all and best wishes for another successful year on the bowling greens at Breakers.
We will resume bowls tomorrow - 3rd January , but at a slow and relaxed pace. Come down to the bowling green about 8.45 or so, we will see who has survived their Xmas and New Year celebrations and make up some teams. Back in full swing for 10th January - looking forward to seeing you all and getting back into our bowls.
