Wednesday Social Bowls was washed out, so not much to report there. The raffle was still held, with voucher winners being Lyndsay Moran, Chicka Thompson, Jeff “Coyote” Willie and Rooster Darcy.
The Friday Jackpot was finally drawn with the winners being Sparra Cheers, Carol Cheers, Paul Cini and Mark Hammond. The winners were overheard to be heading to the Chinese Restaurant to celebrate their $880 winnings. Voucher winners were Trevor Boyle, Peter Hope, Ian Orr and, of course, Steve McGregor.
The Final of the Mixed Pairs was played on Saturday with Marg Ashford and Mick Ashford playing Daryle Barr and Doreen Barr. Team Ashford jumped away to an early lead, but were pegged back by consistent bowls for the Barrs. It took until the final end to determine the winners, with Marg and Mick Ashford holding on to win 18-16. The standard of the bowls was high, as was the sportsmanship/sportswomanship. Congratulations to Team Ashford, and Team Barr can be proud of their performance.
