The South West Gippsland Midweek Bowling Group continues to grow in popularity with 50 keen bowlers making their way to Kooweerup for the weekly challenge.
The forecast seemed reasonable for spring time, so the group kept its fingers crossed that this would be the case.
The group was greeted by Bev and John, while Vern was kept busy preparing the teams for the day.
Once the teams were prepared and teas and coffee were finished, we headed out to the green.
The weather certainly didn’t disappoint, it was a lovely day overall but a heavy wind was a challenge for many of the players.
But, wind or no wind, the quality of the bowls was above reproach.
However, it was also quite a good day for the Royal Children’s Hospital, with many in a very charitable mood by sending down some wrong-bias bowls…keep up the good work bowlers.
Anyway, as usual we have the winners and we have the rest.
The weekly winners on a score of 34 were Alex Martin (L), Cheryl Floyd (3) and Jimmy Kirk (S).
Runners up on a very close score of 33 were Margaret Hoy (3), Steve Banks (L), Katherine Bray (S) and Enid Johnston (2).
Best One Game winners on a score of 19 were Ron Fenton (S), Anne Shaw (L) and Max Summers (3).
Kooweerup always look after us excellently and this week was no different.
Tim set up the green before we arrived and left Steve to look after the bar with help from Tracey who also looked after the kitchen.
As I say quite often, it is these wonderful volunteers who keep our group coming back week after week.
This week we will be meeting at Corinella to once again fight it out for team of the week.
Please be on site by 10am to allow time to prepare the teams.
Unfortunately with numbers generally reaching our capacity we will have to be strict on a 10am cut-off time.
Meanwhile till then, have fun and stay safe.
