Two great games of Major Triples were played last weekend. On Saturday, Dool, Peter Taylor and Roger played Michael and Graham Traves and Brad Bourke. Dool’s team jumped out of the gates early leading 10/2 after 4 ends. Michael’s team pegged back the lead with the scores even on the 9th end 12/12. The game see-sawed until the 17th when Dool’s team won the remaining ends to win 26/19. It was great to see a good crowd watching in the somewhat cool conditions.
On Sunday, Dool’s teamed backed-up to play Phil and Brent Lees and Jamie Grant.
The weather was a fraction warmer, making conditions for play a little better. Dool’s team went to early lead but the Lees team slowly pegged the margin back to lead.
Neither team gave an inch and holding the shot changed regularly on each end. Over the last two ends the Lees team proved too strong and went on to win by six shots.
Jamie Grant led very well and his game has improved significantly over the last month.
Phil, Brent and Jamie G are now in the final and will have to wait for a while to know who their opponents are, due to work and other bowls commitments.
On Sunday 2 August, two games are scheduled with the final of minor pairs final (depending results of rookie singles on Sat
