There were three Club Championship games played over the weekend and the results were:
Handicap Singles: Braden Sole (-1) proved to strong for Mick Rusden (0) taking the game 31 – 12 over 26 ends. Braden’s Singles form has continued from last weekend. Col Stanley (-8) returned to form when he defeated Paul Johnson (+3) 31 – 13 over 27 ends. Col showed that he could come from an 11 shot deficit to victory against a bowler in form, if he can keep this form he will be a bowler to be watched. Robert Moore (+8) and Cameron Peardon (+8) did battle and from what I witnessed this game was fiercely contested. Even though there can be only one eventual winner I think both players came winners on the day. The final result was a victory to Robert 31 – 19 over 34 ends.
Thursday night saw a small field but very noisy bowlers play Twilight. It was a pleasure to play on a well-lit green. For the record the overall winners were the rough team of Joan Jackson and Norman Wilson, most of the noise came from their rink, although the other rink run a very close second, all bowlers had a terrific night.
The three Guyra teams that travelled to Armidale City to contest the District Pairs over the weekend, found the opposition a little to consistent on the day. Even though all the Guyra players played consistent bowls of their own, the opposition played that little better.
