The final of the Southern Cross Ladies Singles Championship was played last Thursday with Cita Weir and Daphne Cross going toe to toe. This promised to be a great game and it did not disappoint.
The game could not have been closer in the opening stages and after 10 ends the players were
locked at eight points each.
After 24 ends Cita had taken led 20-17 and in an absorbing and entertaining game went on to win 26 -17 claiming the Singles title.
There was one social pairs game played with visiting bowler Kev D partnering Val Gray defeating Kev Seaby and Vince Hemmings 14 – 8.
Teams from across the Southern Downs will descend on the Southern Cross Club on May 15 for the club’s Open Fours Carnival sponsored by Warwick Credit Union. It promises to be a great day. Play gets underway at 9am and spectators are welcome. Please support those generous sponsors that support the club. For further details or to nominate your team contact Games Director Clark (0427 673 277).
Clark Davidson is currently out of bowls action at the moment with a dickie knee. The cause, I hear has something to do with a trick of balancing a “Penny” and he came off second best. The mind boggles!
The club extends their congratulations to both the Men’s and Ladies teams from Southern Downs that competed in the District Bowls Competitions at the Gold Coast recently. The men were runner-up in Division Five.
For barefoot bowls, social and competition bowls, functions and bar, it is hard to go past the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick.
