Thursday the eights rinks of the Warwick East bowls were filled with bowlers keen to participate in the new Thursday format for the mixed triples competition.

The new format of three rounds of ten ends is certainly proving very popular.

Kevin Mooney, Barry Frame and Geoff Davis were the overall winners.

Winners of round one were Phil Wagner, Dan Hughes and Matt Shepherd.

Ed Diery, John Harslett and Norm Hassum tasted success in the second round while Kim Hankinson, Barry Ziebell and Bill Lee won the final round.

Last Saturday the club held six games of mixed triples. The overall winner was Ed Diery, runner-up Peter Collis and third Peter Dipplesman.

The attempt at the jackpot was once again unsuccessful.

This week the club hosts their normal mixed social bowls son Saturday beginning at 1pm.

Anyone wishing to put their name down to play can now ring in from 11.45am to nominate.

With no winner last week, the jackpot currently stands at $398.

The number and amount of prizes depends on the number of players, so the more the merrier.
