This weekend the Zone playoffs of the Singles, Senior Singles and Pairs and Open pairs will take play at West Dubbo, we will have Baldy Frame in the Open Singles, Col Hayward in the Senior Singles and The Corbett Brothers,( the Amazing Arthur and Young Robert) in the Open Pairs, we wish all the players the very best on the weekend, and hope you all bring home the bacon.
Last Satruday at Coonabarabran,the Zone Triples were played, our team of Mick Went, Baldy Frame and Col Hayward met a crash hot team from Nyngan,and unfortunately went down, bad luck fellas.
This Saturday, the second round of the Major Triples will take place, best of luck to all the teams.
The Nominations for both the Major and Minors Fours are still open, BUT will close on 15thJuly, so you still have two weeks to get your teams in, at the moment the nominations for the the Minor Fours is very slim, so get your teams together.
Dont forget the Christmas in July Party is now open, book at the bar, $25 per head, with Risky Business providing the music for the night, so get your party together and book in to avoid disapointment.
Well, thats it for this week, see you all at the Bowlie.
