The Summit Bowls Club held a social bowls afternoon last Saturday to coincide with annual Christmas party.
Three games of Triples and two games of three Bowl Pairs. There was an excellent roll up with 26 players out on the green. Good to see a few new faces out on the green trying their hand at the game.
There was plenty of friendly banter going on when my spy popped in during the afternoon as everyone warmed up for the party afterwards.
Steve Jolly, Margaret Harvey and Alex Mattiazzi has a close game against Melissa Mick, Owen and Carl Sutherland finally scoring a 12- 11win.
Sylean Fairley, Tina Schubert and Brian Wilmot had an easier win in their game against Pam Moore, Barry Murphy and Jamie Zamprogno. The final score 16- 7;
John Graham, Tom Hodgson and Adrian Jackson scored a 12-5 win in their game against Sharon Watkins, Mary Zanatta and Tony Schubert.
In the pairs match ups Brian Brown and Cliff Jones had a very comfortable 23-10 win over Maree Ball and Rod Newlands 10 while Rhonda Stanley and Darren “Banger” Stanley played a 13 all draw in their game against Eddie Zanatta and John Fairley.
Winners and runners up were determined by a very technical method – cards were drawn out of the bucket “lucky dip” style.
Those “In Luck” were overall winners Sylean Fairley, Tina Schubert and Brian Wilmot. The runners up were Steve Jolly, Margaret Harvey and Alex Mattiazzi.
After the games there was plenty of Christmas cheer inside the clubhouse as members enjoyed a cold beverage and plenty of Christmas nibbles straight from Santa’s kitchen.
As December winds down there are only a couple of dates remaining on the calendar before the club breaks for the holiday season.
Saturday, 18 December – Trophy Afternoon
Tuesday, 21 December – 2021 Final Turkey Triples
