Parkes Bowling Club News

February 29, 2024 By Col Miller

A Minor Singles game was played between Mick Simpson and Jacob Townsend on Saturday the 24th of February. Jacob started off well leading 7 to 3 in the 6th end. However Mick took the lead and by 14th end hit the lead 15 to 9. Jacob fought back to level the game 17 all. Jacob took control of the game winning the next three ends to lead 23 to 17. Mick however won 5 of the next 6 ends to sneak home 25 to 24. Many of the social bowlers playing were taking the time to stop and watch this great game progress. A big thanks to marker Bernie Mitchell.

On the other side of the ledger Wilbur Harris took on Brian Townsend in the Quarter Finals of the Minor Singles on a warm Sunday afternoon, 25th of Feburary. Wilbur hit the game firing to lead 8 to 3. Brian won the next 2 ends to only be down 8 to 6. Wilbur gained a 4 then a 3 to advance to a lead 16 to 9. Brian was trying hard putting down some excellent bowls but Wilbur was up to the task and won the match 25 to 17. Big thanks goes to marker Mal Porter. There was a good crowd on hand watching the game on the day, along with the music coming from the club.
