BBC BROADCAST SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6th         (Terry Norwood at the desk)

Some bits and bobs:

  1. Round two of the RSL Shield was played on Saturday under clear skies and a touch of warmth in the air. More on that below.
  2. The Tulip Festival event, conducted by the Women’s Bowling Club, will be staged on Thursday September 11th. Clubs from far afield have entered to take on the Bowral women’s and mixed four, so there will be plenty of friendly rivalry on the green. Play starts at 9am and will be worth a look.
  3. The BBC Major Singles Championship nominations close at 5pm on Saturday September 13th, so, come on gents, get organised and place your nominations on the schedule posted on the notice board.
  4. To the credit of greenkeeper Dale and the GM Shane, the Wilson Green continues to improve. The general feedback from the triples games on Saturday was that the green was fair and true. Great news, so let’s keep that going.
  5. Following the RSL competition play, the jackpot draw for $100 went to team 1 (Rikki Wilson, Graham Hunt, Rowena Coode, Greg Lewis)! Congratulations.

RSL Shield Competition

Round 2 of the RSL Shield competition was held on Saturday with the running of the Singles matches on the Waratah Green and the Triples on the Wilson Green. So, to the results:

Singles Matches

Graham Hunt (team 1)  17  Vs  Viv Gear (team 3)  38

Ian Duncan (team 2)  19  Vs  Dave Charlesworth (team 4)  18

Barb Wainberg (team 7) 16  Vs  Ted McPhee (team 5)  29

Enid Brown (team 8)  18  Vs  Richard Denman (team 6)  29

Triples Matches

Tisi Lear, Dave Coltman, Ash Lewis  (team 8)  28  Vs  Mark Barrow, Noel Fraser, Al McGhee (team 6)  14

Rikki Wilson, Rowena Coode, Greg Lewis (team 1) 12 Vs Graham Hartnup, Don Chapman, Robin Staples (team 3)  24

Alice Moore, Reta South, Gordon Lewis (team 2)  15  Vs  Grahame Denman, Gail Fraser, Mick Flynn (team 4)  20

Charles Coode, Peter Flight, Steve Day (team 7) 14  Vs  Elizabeth Hall, Terry Norwood, Bob Edwards (team 5)  24

So, with these results in, the lead in the competition has shifted, and now, three points in front on 73, is team 5 skippered by Bob Edwards. Close on their heels on 70 points are three teams those skippered by Mick Flynn, Robin Staples and Ash Lewis. The final week of pairs matches should be a ripper with the competition wide open and only a very brave soul willing to predict the winner. Bowl well!
