Saturday, October 20: Watch board for competitions Sunday, October 21: Mixed social bowls. Names in by 1pm. Play starts at 1.30pm. Competitions open for 2019. On Thursday, the threat of rain might have fazed some of our bowlers as only 20 players attended. The winners on the day were D Lowe, G Edgerton and K Clark. On Saturday, 12 hardy stalwarts turned up, but unfortunately just as we were ready to start play, the heavens opened and play had to be abandoned. Two competition games were played during the week. In consistency singles, G Goes defeated P Anderson. Men’s club triples resulted in a win for F Catelan, D Irwin and C Smith over S Dunne, G Spina and K Clark. Please help Graham out by getting your competition games played as soon as possible. All competition games need to be completed before presentation night in December. As this only leaves about four weeks, Graham will be forced to invoke the “play or forfeit” rule to achieve this. Last Sunday, a number of our members took part in the Silkwood mixed triples with 14 teams taking part in some very close games with only two teams having two wins. Last year’s winning team of Graham Anderson, Pam Anderson and Diana O’Brien was one and they went on to win the trophy again on a count back. Congratulations. When asked the secret of their success, Graham was heard to say “That’s easy, just ask two women to be in your team”. Coming events: November 3-4. Innisfail/South Johnstone self-selected triples. Tuesday, October 9. An invitation to district clubs to play a game of running fourth had mixed reception and two clubs were unable to keep their commitment. The remaining 16 players delivered a high standard of play. The winners of the day were Daphne Kirkman, Pam Anderson, Helen Patterson and Anne Rule with 3 wins +52 points. Runner up was the Silkwood team of Denise Charman, Jean Messina, Carol Lowe and Jeannette Bucklar 2 wins +51 points. Well done. Wednesday, October 10, social bowls: A lovely afternoon for a social get together with 10 players divided into two teams performed at their best. Anna Della Bella, Barry Green, Chris Lower d Alan Hudson, Delmo Tarditi and Len Charman 24-13. Denise Charman and Karin Rastoll d Tony Cates and Brian Brooks 36-17. Saturday, October 13: TFNQDLBA Presentation Day at Edmonton. One Silkwood team of four ladies joined other teams to play against other district teams. Two games of bowls were played before lunch followed by the presentation of this year’s winning competitions and their bowlers. Congratulations to all of the prize winners. Sunday, October 15: Silkwood Bowls Club mixed triples. Fourteen teams comprising of 42 bowlers from clubs as far as Atherton, Babinda, South Johnstone, Innisfail and Tully competed against each other in two games. The prize money went to the Innisfail team of Graham Anderson Pam Anderson and Dianne O’Brien. Congratulations. The runner-up prize went to Babinda and third prize to Silkwood. Friday night barefoot bowling and barbecue at 6pm is enormous fun. Come along and try our bowls game. Free bowls coaching on the first Saturday of each month starts at 9am at Silkwood Bowls Club. All welcome. For more information call Denise on 0400 791 517. Social bowls on Wednesdays and Sundays, register by 1pm for a 1.30pm start. No play took place on the weekend. On Saturday it was due to the rain and on Sunday it was because a large contingent of bowlers were either competing at the Mossman Men’s Fours or locally supporting the Silkwood Mixed Triples. Although our away players enjoyed their labours, they were unfortunately unsuccessful with the prize money. Saturday, October 20: Social bowls plus afternoon tea and a chance to get some practice and a feel for the green. 1.30pm start.
