KOOWEERUP BOWLS
Finally, after a season of team rebuilding and the inclusion of new players, Kooweerup’s Tuesday team had a win against Hastings in a narrow and hard-fought game over the three rinks; eventually winning 55-53.
Calling on the Club President Tim Katz to fill in, together with Mary Masters, John Harrower and Margaret Royle – in an unfamiliar role of lead – they won their game 23-21.
The Jenkins household “bragging rights” for the week go to Joy Jenkins, Jacqui Butera, Maggie Prosser and Helen Ralph with a 18-14 win.
It was the identical score card, but in reverse order, for Jim Jenkins, Charles Poulsen, Ric Lloyd and David Prosser losing 14-18.
Saturday Pennant
The unbeaten run of eight wins on end for Kooweerup’s Division 6 team came to an end at the hands of ladder-leaders Rosebud Country Club after a 51-68 defeat.
With only one more game to play Kooweerup is assured of playing finals which is a good effort seeing considering the club played in Division 8 last season.
In a game that was in doubt until the final few ends, Steven Jenkins, Ian Richardson, Daniel Price and Jim Jenkins lowered their colours losing 18-21.
It was another tough day for Steve Plumridge, Tim Katz, Mav Katz and Tracey Hill who trailed most of the game to lose 15-33.
The very consistent rink of Brett Condron, Peter Butera, Cam Davey and Adrian Wheelan continued their good form winning 18-14.
Meanwhile, Division 8 entertained our good friends from Blue Hills who were third on the ladder.
In a game that saw the lead change on many occasions, Kooweerup was beaten 38-42.
Again, it was the rink of Margaret Royle, Erin Price, Mary Masters and Bec Watts who gained some points for us winning 23-19.
With a late change to the team and Rex Alexander playing as skip for the first time in five years; Jacqui Butera, Maggie Prosser, Jason Bellink and Alexander couldn’t hold their opponents over the final two ends losing 15-23.
