Bowls Notes and Club Blog

G,Day. and welcome to this weeks news from the Bowlie.
DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Both the Champion of Champions, Singles and Pairs were played at the Bowlie on the Weekend,In the Singles event the young Jake Atkinson from Condoblin took on Brett Frame from the Parkes Bowlie, in a very exciting game Jake took it right up to Brett, but unfortunately Brett was too strong, winning 31/19, so Brett is now the 2013 Champion of Champions Singles Winner and will go on to Dubbo later to play for the Zone Title.
In the Champion of Champions, Pairs event the Forbes pair of S Andrews and J Andrews took on the Condobolin Pair of I Thomas and B Byrnes. In this game the Forbes pair went to a big lead, but on the 10th End dropped a 6, this put Condo right back into the game, and on the 14th end the scores were equal, they then went end for end until disaster struck on the 20th end when Condo dropped a 7, this put Forbes back in the lead, and then winning the final end to win the title 28/20, Congratulations to both winners on their great wins.
SUNDAY JACKPOT BOWLS.
12 players took to the greens to try for the Jackpot, but it is still quite elusive, and did not go off, so $900 this Sunday.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.
In a Major triples game the team of Rob Tinker Graham Barby had a good win over Noel Nicholson John Hodge and John Ward 23/12, and in a Minor Fours Game the team of Ron Murray Bernie Mitchell Tony Byrne (sub) and George Boatswain had a cliff hanger over Greg Townsend Bob Freeman Gary McPhee and Peter McPhee 22/21, in this game the scores were level on the 19th End, but the Boatswain team got a 3 on the 20th end to hit the lead, but the McPhee Team did not give up, and very nearly got a result by scoring a 2 on the final end..
SOCIAL BOWLS.
Thursday saw 22 bowlers on the greens, with the winners H McPhee Wally Grant and Bob Freeman, runners up Ray Jones and Arthur Corbett.
there was no sheet filled in on Saturday, so I don't have any results.
