The Southern Highland Cup (Also Eric Plain Trophy) Final was held at Robertson on Saturday 8th December. I have not had a report but do have the final score sheet which I will pass on to you at the end of this post.
In th Pairs games the results were;
David Coltman and Nathan Boyers won both sets 11-5 and 9-7 Jim Neely and Stephen Della lost both sets 8-9 and 7-9
In the Triples games;
Russell Fahey, Paul Leverett and Josh Woocock won both sets 8-6 and 8-7. Noel Fraser, Carl Spilkler and Dugald Braithwaite won the first set 16-5 and lost the second 13-7. They played a three end tie breaker and won this 6-5. Winning only one of the three ends , but with six shots it was enough to win.
The record show tha Roberston won the trophy for the first time in many years which is a great effort as they do not have the depth of the Bowral Club. However, the scoring is a bit of a mystery to me and I attach the score sheet which I am sure you will be able to work out. The sheet shows Robertson scoring 5 sets to 3 while the score cards I was given indicate the opposite. Both teams appear to have scored 2 points!!. I did find a discrepancy in the Boyers match and the score card indicates a Bowral win by 10-3 but this would not change the outcome. Some of the Bowral members have been playing this inter club event for all 21 years so I am sure they know the scoring system backwards. Once again well done to Robertson and it was good to see Bundanoon fielding a competitive team.
Next Saturday 15th December is the Bowral Bowling Club Charity day. Play starts at 10am followed by a sausage sizzle ($2) and then a further two shorts games. Each player in each team will skip in one of these games. Proceeds are to a cancer charity so all members are asked to support this day. The following Saturday is the Club Super League game with prize money to be won by the winning teams. Notice is on the board. Finally do not forget that Sunday 16th December Aaron Keys will be present to offer advice and play a demonstration game.
