Saturday and Sunday 23/24 February was a weekend of Zone 5 Pairs competition.  Best result by far was Mick Spong and Mick Armstrong reaching the semi finals of the Zone Pairs.   To reach the semi finals they had to play three matches over the weekend, winning the first two quite comfortably before winning in the quarter finals by one shot.  The semi finals and finals will be played at Picton Bowling Club next weekend and we will keep our fingers crossed that they win the final.  Best of luck.

Other players on the open pairs were Josh Woodcock and Dugald Braithwaite who after a bye in the first round won 27-11 before losing in the round of 16 by one shot.  Oscar Wahlin and Dave Coltman lost in the first round while Carl Spilker and Nathan Boyers also lost their first game.  The Zone Senior Pairs was held at Bowral Bowling Club.  Bowral had only one team in this competition, Noel Fraser and Jim Neely.  Unfortunately they lost in the first round by 20-10.

Sunday also saw one Bowral Bowling Club Championship Singles match.  This was between Bob Crowley and Oscar Wahlin.  This seemed to be a close match.  When I have a final score I will let you know.

Thanks once again thanks are due to Bowls Secretary Dan Ticehurst and Zone representitive Stephen Della who gave up their weekend to ensure the smooth running  of the Zone event.  Also Bob Edwards on Sunday afternoon who helped Dan with teachers from Oxley school who had an afternoon of barefoot bowling.
