Night Bowls round six
LAST Friday night was round six of the Night Bowls series in magnificent weather, with everyone running around in short sleeves and spectators turning out in force.
The crowds seem to be growing and this week the “pom poms” turned up and the kids were rounded up into a cheering block.
“This does wonders for the Lions Club sales on these nights as they sold out all their hamburgers this past week,” Night Bowls convener Mike Tomlinson said.
“We thank them for the service that they provide to all on and around the greens.”
At the start, Tomlinson had to quickly arrange for a spare team to play against one of the participating teams who had no opposition.
“I thank the four people for putting up their hands and helping me out by giving Country Meat Market a game even though they got full points for their walkover. It gave them a reason to be at bowls,” he said.
The bowls was very keen again, with section A having only one full house six points which went to Trellidor for their 6 / +15, but having won the “best performer” previously they could not win again. The performer prize went to B Section only for the second time and Leach Pharmacy, who have battled to get points in the last three rounds, were in top form with their 6 / +6 to give them the prize.
The teams headed into the club house for the prize-giving and refreshments, starting off with the Swindle Board Raffle sponsored by Pick n Pay. Last week’s winner, Warren from Trellidor, had been in the front of the queue when he picked his board numbers because he won the bottle of Captain Morgan for the second week in a row.
“Bet you cannot do it a third time,” Tomlinson said.
Next came the “roll over” competition. With the four ends being drawn, the score was “5” and the luckiest team of the night was Trellidor, who for the first time in six weeks were the only team to have the correct score. They won the R360 in the kitty so next week will start with a R60 kitty.
For the last round of the round robin competition, the top four positions in each section are: Section A:
1 Trellidor 32 points, 51 shot profit 2 Distinctive Kitchens 27, 33 3 MR Financials 22, 23 4 DP Engineering 22, 10 Section B:
1 Emonti 28 points, 46 shot profit 2 Happy Veg 24, -1 3 Kenny’s Sports Bar 23, 39 4 Country Meat Market 21, -7
The order of play for round seven is: Section A:
