VIOLET TOWN BOWL CLUB

THINGS are quietening down at the bowls club, it’s footy season. The pairs competition has run its course. We played to Canadian Pairs format, 18 ends, which everyone seemed to enjoy. Laurel Heckenberg and Erin Dawson resumed their game against Mick O’Keefe and Tim Heckenberg and won, by one point. Bob Fairweather and substitute Ron Parr lost to Graham Crawford and Ian Hamill in their Second-Round game. David Underwood and Chris Raeburn lost to Graham Crawford and Ian Hamill. Erin Dawson and Laurell Heckenberg defeated Travis Wellington and Reg Allen. Leanne Russell-Jones and Ken Stanger defeated Toni Down and Dennis Taylor. Unfortunately, Erin took on Umpiring duties and she and Laurell had to forfeit their game, so Sunday April 21 saw the Grand Final take place between Graham Crawford and Ian Hamill and Ken Stanger and Leanne Russell-Jones. This was a very competitive game but played in good spirits. At the sixth, eighth and eleventh ends the score was tied. However, the Leanne and Ken combination then went on to win five of the last seven ends. Graham gave us a laugh when he “had a go” driving all. Final Score 15-23. Weather permitting we’ll have barefoot bowls on Sundays at 2 pm. We continue to collect bottles and cans for recycling. Our AGM will be held on Sunday May 26 at 2 pm.
