The last two club matches were played last Sunday in front of large turnout of supporters. After a very wet night and morning, the rain gods were kind enough to allow for a dry and sunny afternoon.

As has been consistent all season, the green was in magnificent condition even after all the rain and is a testament to green keeper Spud Furletti’s hard work.
Donna Rowley and Jake Wall played off in the final of the mixed pairs against Grace Kenworthy and Dennis McGregor. Rowley and Wall combined beautifully to bring home the win with consistent and accurate bowling. Congratulations to all for providing a first-class final and to Rowley on her first club championship win.
In the final of the mixed 100-up, for the first time it was a mixed final with Kate Donovan flying the flag for the women against Howard Geldard. In a closely contested game, the score was 97-all on the 23rd end.
The last end could not have been closer with all eight bowls surrounding the kitty. Donovan had shot and third shot bowl and the 6-4 end win gave her victory. Congratulations to both bowlers for a very entertaining and thrilling match.
Closing day is to be held on Sunday, April 23. Proceedings start at 2pm with the traditional bone of contention bowls match, women versus men. The girls are all revved up to win the bone back off the men this year. So, get on board everyone, game on!
Following the game, the presentation to this season’s club champions will take place, followed by a casserole tea to celebrate and wrap-up of season 2022-23.
