Wednesday Social bowls had the second "Dash for Cash" game and YMGCR had 16 players who bravely took on the elements. The winners were Keith Eade and Peter Lidgerwood (who got a late call up) with 36 points just beating Doddy and Pam Dodman with 35 points.
Friday Social bowls was another miserable day and there were 24 players with the winners being Les Wilson and a new bowler who has got a big future in Ian Febey. Runners up again were the consistent Dodmans.

Pennant
The sheets are up for those wishing to play Midweek and Weekend Pennant for the 2022/23 season. Even if you are not available each week, put your name down as an emergency as they are always needed and it makes the selectors jobs so much easier to know they have players available to fill in.
If you are going away for the winter, please get your name down before you leave so they know they have the numbers to fill all the divisions.
There is a sheet out for anyone that needs uniforms. Be organised before the Pennant season starts again, it doesn’t seem to take long to come around.
60 and over
The sheet is up for those interested in playing in the 2022/23 60 and Over season.
Social bowls results
Monday, May 30 - bowls cancelled due to the rain.
Wednesday, June 1 - bowls cancelled due to low numbers.
Saturday June 4 - once again there was very low numbers down to play, so the few that were, happily played a social game of 2-4-2 between them.
Winners – Geoff Hargreaves and Ron Neilson. The winner of the Bar Voucher for the 1st resting toucher was Val Kennedy.
The Jackpot was not claimed and will be carried forward to next Saturday.
It was a very nice day to bowl with very little wind and the sun out most of the time.
Hopefully more people will rug up and join in the social days during the winter.
