BBC BROADCAST SUNDAY AUGUST 18th       (Terry Norwood at the desk)

Starting with a few reminders:

  1. On Wednesday September 4th bowls will be a mixed triples event to celebrate the 110th anniversary of BBC and the 85th anniversary of BWBC. A new trophy is on offer and there will be some spot prizes as well. The cost of $20 will cover green fees and food. Names will be needed very soon as the teams will be formed by the committee the day before the event. It will be roll off at 12 noon so it is suggested that bowlers arrive around 11.45 if not earlier.
  2. Nomination sheets for Regional Singles events are on the Notice Board for those interested. Bowlers have until 5pm September 2nd to get your name on the list.
  3. Any bowler interested in nominating for the Men Only Pennants competition (to be run over three weekends Saturday and Sunday in November) needs to have your name on the Notice Board schedule by 5pm on September 9th so that it can be decided whether we enter a team.

RSL Shield Competition

Saturday August saw the commencement of the RSL Shield competition, an event spread over three weeks and including Fours the first week, Singles and Triples the second week and Pairs the final week. The winning team will be the one that accumulates the most shots over the three days of competition. So it’s all about scoring as many shots as possible!

Before play commenced, the teams were formed by randomly matching pairs nominated from the higher ranked group with those from the lower ranked group of players. This led to the teams being formed of

Bob Edwards, Dave Charlesworth, Stephen Day and skip Steven Goddard

Graham Hunt, Terry Norwood, Dave Coltman and skip Al McGhee

Mick Flynn, Peter Flight, Stephen Della and skip Ash Lewis

Arnold Lenczuk, Ted McPhee, Gordon Lewis and skip Bob Crowley

The results of the first round Fours matches were

Team Lewis   35   Vs   Team McGhee   19

Team Crowley   19   Vs   Team Goddard   17

As this was the first round, those are the totals that each of the teams takes into the second round.

Round two on Saturday August 24th, with each team having a different opponent, will see

i.  Singles matches between

Mick Flynn (for team Lewis)   Vs  Arnie Lenczuk (for team Crowley)

Bob Edwards (for team Goddard   Vs   Graham Hunt (for team McGhee)

ii.  Triples matches between

Peter Flight, Stephen Della, Ash Lewis   Vs   Ted McPhee, Gordon Lewis, Bob Crowley

Dave Charlesworth, Stephen Day, Steven Goddard   Vs   Terry Norwood, Dave Coltman, Al McGhee
