Some new faces added to the atmosphere and excitement as 37 members of the South West Gippsland Midweek Bowling Group descended on Kooweerup Bowls Club for the weekly teams challenge.
The bowlers were welcomed by drizzle and a cold blustery wind.
Bowlers from our usual core clubs of San Remo, Corinella, Lang Lang, Loch and Kooweerup were once again up for the challenge, while bowlers from Cranbourne, Cranbourne Silks, Blue Hills and Berwick were also welcomed with open arms.
The players were signed in by David Talbot while Bev and Vern Elliott arranged the teams for the day.
Although numbers were down from the usual high standard, those in attendance had an enjoyable day despite the windy and bleak conditions.
It’s hard to believe that summer has now started.
As usual there were a few wrong-bias bowls which contributed to the Royal Children’s Hospital donation tin.
After a very testing day of bowling the following teams prevailed.
Winners on a score of 34 were Frank Verco (L), Mark Hanrahan(S) and John Kappler (3).
Runners Up on a score of 33 were Chris Coulson (L), Claire Sheers (3), Max Williams (2) and Bill Sherriff (S).
Best One Game winners on a countback with a score of 18 were Bev Elliott (2), David Talbot (3), Michael Dady (S) and Gordon Taylor (L).
Thanks go to Kooweerup members Tracey Hill and Steve Plumridge for setting up the green; manning the bar and organising tea, coffee and biscuits.
Also thanks to those members who cleaned up afterwards.
This week the group is heading to Lang Lang Bowls Club for the weekly challenge.
Please be in attendance by 10am to allow time for the teams to be organised.
