North Broken Hill Bowling Club

Saturday, March 1 – social bowls

AN impressive rollup of 24 participants found the shelter shade very useful in the higher than expected temperatures. The winning team for the evening comprised lead Allan Fraser, second Bill Symons and their skip Graham Riley. The consolation prize went to lead June Walker, second Steve Cutting and skip Barry Hooker. There were three resting touchers, attained by Graham Riley, Ray Grenfell and John Payne.

Tuesday, March 4 – social bowls

Twenty-two social bowlers initially played under shade before enjoying a calm, pleasant evening under lights. The only totally successful team all evening comprised lead Brian Jones and his skip Dennis Cetinich. Brian was in excellent touch, particularly during the second game when he achieved two resting touchers in quick succession. Denis Watts was the only other bowler to finish in contact with the kitty once.

WE ARE well into the business end of the summer competition and games are changing each week with different results.

Teams are still struggling with Illness and lack of mens players .

Round 6 results

Flags defeated Try-Hards 19 to 10. This was a very close game after 10 ends both teams were level on 10 pts but a consistent run of end winner shots saw Flags win the next five end blowing out the score.

The top of the table Sturt came up against last year’s premiers Demo. Sturt knocked off the kitty on the first end but regained them ability by good bowls early to keen in touch eight all after 11 ends, but to Demo credit they blew Sturt off the mat scoring 16 shots in the next 5 ends. Score was 24 to 8.
