After the 2021 Apple Blossom Bowls Carnival the previous weekend only bowlers took to the green on Saturday at the Summit Bowls Club. Those that did had one eye on what was happening on the green and the other fixed firmly on the brewing storm. After just 12 ends everyone quickly packed up their bowls and headed for cover. The storm was a beauty and for over half an hour there was small hail, very heavy rain and gale-force winds. The green looked more akin to a swimming pool during the storm.

When the heavens opened Attilio Zamprogno, Keith Mungall and Adrian Jackson had a 17-3 lead over Steve Jolly, Barry Murphy and Cliff Jones 3.

John Graham, Margaret Harvey and Jamie Zamprogno were holding an 11-7 lead over Andrew McGlashan, Brian Brown and Paul Zamprogno in their game.

This week there are bowls scheduled for Saturday and Sunday as the club hosts visiting players.

Organisers are expecting 16 visitors and are looking for 16 bowlers from the Summit Bowlers to match the numbers.
