Southern Cross Bowls
IT WAS very quiet at the club last weekend. One game of pairs only on Saturday with K. Mooney, Prickles d R. Lawson, T. Hagley 29-10. Bowlers there will be no bowls this coming weekend over the Easter break. May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Easter and look forward to seeing everyone back on the green for social bowls on 12 April.
A reminder the Turkey triples will be on Wednesday 8 April at 12.30pm.
Thursday last the ladies completed the singles competition. The carried over game from the previous week resulted in M. Rampling d B. Donovan 25-16. The final was then played with M. Rampling d D. Cross 27-15. This was a very close game for 21 ends until Margaret won five of the next six ends. Congratulations Marg on your win. There were no social bowls played as the club had a team at the Summit and some ladies were unavailable to play.
Please note there will be no bowls today Thursday 2 April.

Being the fifth Sunday this month, we shot 10 scoring shots at 300 and 500 yards then retired for a barbecue lunch and had to wake ourselves up again for the 600 yard shoot under the gratefully provided shade trailer.
Great weather, good company, a great day. Don’t miss our Anzac Day shoot on 26 April. www.southerndownsrifleclubwebsyte.com.au
