BRANDON BOWLS
On Friday night Bennett’s Exhausts hosted a great night of fun and frivolity. Everyone enjoyed the night with some
magnificent soft touches and determined drives featuring in what should have been a highlights reel.
The winners for the night were made up of the quartet of Neil Mahoney, Nadia Lazzarin, Rino Lazzarin, and Ray Panecassio.
They were so cool under pressure and came up with the goods whenever needed.
Second place went to the trio of Ben Barbagallo, Ian Giddy and Peter Jorgensen.
Ben played with club bowls for the first time, putting in a masterful performance of lead bowls allowing Ian and Peter to ride on his coat tails to victory.
The Bradman’s prize went to the incredibly lucky group
of Ruth Moore, Robin Mcallister, Di Lindbridge and Bill Walker.
On Sunday there were three highly entertaining triples matches contested. Merv Wilshere, Wayne Coonan and Peter Jorgensen had the unfortunate luck of running into the hot trio of Ken Ferguson, Rob Jorgensen, and Joe Ypinazar. Rob Jorgensen, turned up, surveyed the scene and then put in a performance that carried his team to victory.
The trio of Dave Sheehan, Jamie Woods, and Peter Henderson had a commanding victory over Nev Dickinson, Henry Hazel and Richard Mau. Jamie Woods played with a set of bowls that had
travelled the length breadth of the country.
They had to have biosecurity clearance to be used given the places they had been and the way they navigated the Brandon green it looks like they have found their home. In the third match Damian Morello, Doug Kiehne and Hugh Montgomery battled away bravely only to be run down by a calm Gary Nosworthy and precision-focused Mick Mccloskey, and a lucky to have them skip in Leo Kenny.
The club AGM followed by the President’s Ham prize day will be on December 6. Matches will be on this Sunday with names in by 1pm for a 1.30pm start. and
