Women\u2019s bowls<\/b><\/p>\n
On 19 September the second match of the Club Fours was held. As a memory jogger I will list the teams from the last edition of the Voice. They were, from Lead to Skip: Bernice Dobson, Sue Sheil, Irene Dunn, Jane Haddon; then Enid Hall, Christine Yeo, Maya McGrath, Deb Folkard; and Marjorie Wilkie, Ruth Willdig, Judy Whitton Anna Stewart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The match on the 19<\/span>th<\/span> was between Jane Haddon\u2019s team (winners of the first round) and Anna Stewart\u2019s team. It was a very close game, with the score being drawn three times. Anna\u2019s team held the lead for the first 13 ends. Thereafter the lead changed hands three times, with only one or two points separating them for the last eight ends. Jane held on to the take the win by one point, 18 to 17 and win the competition outright -having won two of the three games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The final game on 26 September, between my team and Anna\u2019s for second place, started off close. However, they managed to stop us from scoring on 12 of the last 15 ends! We finished on 29 to 12. Congratulations to all those who participated. The round robin format was great fun and I am sure we will continue it in future for our Club competitions, when only three teams are entered.<\/span><\/p>\n Our annual \u2018Grange\u2019 tournament was a huge success. We had the full complement of 28 triples teams, perfect weather, great food and no computer crashes! The winners (from first to fourth, plus AM and PM winners) were: Warilla, Sussex Inlet RSL, Sussex Inlet, Sussex Inlet RSL, St George\u2019s Basin and Berry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sadly, due to late notification and our members already having prior commitments, Berry Women\u2019s does not have a Pennant team this year. This will mean a fairly quiet lead up to Christmas. Although we do have the mixed fours competition starting next Thursday. Plus, a few charity events. Always fun and for a good cause during the \u2018Pink-Up Berry\u2019 month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Until next time, happy bowling!<\/span><\/p>\n Deb Folkard<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Men\u2019s bowls<\/b><\/p>\n Zone Championships<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The Area A Men\u2019s State Open Senior and Reserve Fours were contested on 23 and 24 September. In the Senior Fours, Mark Power, Nathan Bezant, Adam Rigney and Paul Bezant lost to Huskisson Sports by 24 points to 14, and Jingles Chittick, David Badger, Tige Lidbetter and Terry Hayes went down to Nowra. In the Reserve Fours Keith Pepper, Bob Dunn and Col Agar (substitute for Rob Folkard) and Graeme Hook won their first match against Culburra by 23 points to 14. The following day I played with Bob, Keith and Graeme against Shoalhaven Heads but we lost the match by 26 points to 13.<\/span><\/p>\n In the Open Reserve Pairs Competition held on 8 and 9 October Graeme Hook and Rob Folkard defeated Shoalhaven Heads by 30 points to 9. However, the match against Nowra the following day was a very different story. Nowra led all the way to eventually take the match by 21 points to 12.<\/span><\/p>\n Singles Championship<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The Berry Men\u2019s Singles Championship is underway with Kangaroo Valley well represented. In the first round Jingles Chittick played Adam Rigney, who has won the event many times. Adam won the match by 25 points to 10. Ron Nelson started well in his match against Tige Lidbetter, but Tige gained the upper hand and eventually won the match by 26 points to 8. Bob Dunn played very well in his match against David Badger, who has also won the Club Singles event a number of times. This was a very tight match and the scores were locked at 18 all; however, David kicked away at the end to take the match by 26 points to 18.<\/span><\/p>\n Social Bowls<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n 13 September \u2013 Derek Raymond, Lindsay McNamara and Terry Hayes 27; Bob Dunn, Graeme Hook and Rob Folkard 23.
