The rains stayed away long enough to allow 14 social bowlers to enjoy two games of pairs and a triples game last Thursday.
On paper, the triples gun combination of Eddie McPhee, John Niddrie and Geoff Freeman were unbackable favourites over John Carr, Bob Freeman and Rob Irving. However, the under-dogs proved that the odds, and age are irrelevant and after 21 ends, team Irving won 23 shots to 21.
Ray Jones and President Col Miller started slowly against Mike Valentine and Chris Harrison, to trail by 6 shots after 4 ends.
Scoring a 5 and three 4s opened up the game for Jones and Miller and they didn’t back off winning by a big margin.
The combination of Mal Porter and John Ward proved too consistent against Ron Hornery and Marty Tighe in a tight game winning 24 shots to 19.
Saturday Bowls were washed out.
