The mixed pairs got of to a great start last Wednesday evening, with many games going down to the wire.
In a nail-biter, Michael Traves and Penny Nash came from behind to win on the last end 20/19 against Mathew Lawrence and Eryn Traves. Its seems the short break after a quick shower of rain changed the momentum of the game.
Corey Rooke and Tracey Sullivan had a close match against Brad Bourke and Sharon Wynn, also coming from behind to win 23/20.
Lisa Jones and Harry Webb had good win due to the kitty going forward after a drive. They were leading at the time, but this secured the win 28/18.
Jamie Stewart and Therese Millar had a comfortable win over Jamie Grant and Kayleen Doyle 20/6 This week, Ben Rooke and Cristy Sullivan Webb will play Therese Millar and Jamie Stewart, which is certain to be a great game.
In the other game Corey Rooke and Tracey Sullivan versus Michael Traves and Penny Nash in another cracker of a match.
The following consistency games were played over the weekend. Greg Chester and Tony Tuimauga played on Saturday, with Greg coming away with the win. It was a solid performance from Greg who has been in good form.
On Sunday, Ben Brooke and Keith Jones played off with Keith having a 30 point start, the handicap was too much for Ben to overcome and Keith went on to win 152 to 128. It was a good performance from Keith, who showed good form for a new bowler, indicating he may prove hard to beat, with a massive handicap in his favour.
In the other game on Sunday, Greg Chester continued his good form and proved too strong for Jamie Grant. It was a good game overall, with Greg having a confident win in the end.
Hopefully the rest of the games can be completed this weekend and the losers will be the markers for those games. The consistency games are nearly at completion thanks to all the players for turning up and playing their games.
The mixed Pairs continues on Wednesday with two games, which will then lead us to the the semifinals which will be played the following Wednesday. Good luck to all the players.
The badge draws for this week are Wednesday $850, Friday $200 and Sunday $650.
There has been a good roll-up for Thursday afternoon bowls and also for our Twilight Bowls on Friday.
Happy bowling everyone!
