THE bowling season appears to be far from over, with things rolling along at a frenetic pace.

On Wednesday, 16 participated in social bowls, including four visitors – Murray and Theresa from Port Fairy and Kaz and Kaz from Bendigo – who all fitted in as though they had been life-long members.

There were multiple two-game winners, with the pairing of Croquet Kev and Dot Lomer prevailing on shots-up.

Three matches were also completed in Club Championship events.

The winners of the Blue Ribbon Club events:

Mens singles Champion: Ken Sutcliffe.

Ladies singles Champion: Margaretha Cerini.

Mens pairs Champions: Tony Kingma and Marc Stevens.

Ladies pairs Champions: Margaretha Cerini and Charmaine Reid.

David Clarke won the 21-up final with a 21-13 victory over Lindsay Cocking.

It was a tight tussle for most of the game, until David secured a late 4 and 3 to seal the win.

The semi-finals of the mixed pairs also took place, and two close and high-quality contests went down to the wire.

Don and Kerry Steers defeated Tony Kingma and Peta Webster 16-14, while Shane and Charmaine came from behind to defeat Jeremy and Margaretha 12-11. The final is scheduled for 10am Saturday.

The final of the B grade championship will be held Wednesday afternoon (16 April) at 2pm, with the 100-up final taking place at 5pm on Friday.

A farewell for Richard will also be held from 5.30pm to 7pm.

But there is more...

Social bowls continues on Saturday afternoon, and President’s Day will take place on Sunday.

Bowls will commence at 1pm, followed by afternoon tea at 4pm (provided by the Club), and then presentations to the winners of the Club events.

Please place names on the board.

Ken Sutcliffe is currently in Bendigo competing in the State Champion of Champions events.

We wish him all the best and know he will perform admirably.

Finally, the annual general meeting will be held on Wednesday, 4 June, with nominations for board positions closing on Monday, 5 May.

All the best and bowl well.
