Parkes Bowling & Sports Club News

March 28, 2024 By Roxane Manley

Pictured is Wilbur Harris and Mick Simpson. Wilbur the winner of the minor singles.

Last Thursday Mark Dwyer and Brian Townsend competed in the State Senior Pairs Championships at Dubbo. The games were on the new synthetic greens which were lighting fast. First game the boys were defeated by Cabramatta 18 to 14. Second game they had a 17 all draw with Harbord and in the third game they went down 15 to 12. Playing against the best teams in the state Mark and Brian did themselves and our club proud. Well done boys.

The Minor Singles was played on Saturday between Wilbur Harris and Mick Simpson.

Wilbur started off well leading 5 to 1, Mick fought back to take the lead 8 to 7. Wilbur then had a short dream run to lead 15 to 9. Mick is a bowler who never gives up and played well to be down only one shot 14 to 15. On the other hand, Wilbur is a player if you let get in

front he will put the foot down, which he did for the next seven ends to lead 22 to 16. Never say die Mick fought back to be only down 1 shot 22 to 23. Wilbur put the game to bed in the next two ends, winning 25 to 22. Great game. Thank you, Marker Tony Riordan. This game was sponsored by Andrew Reynolds who made the presentations. There will be social lawn bowls on Easter Monday. Usual drill; names in between midday and 12:30 for 1pm start.
