Weather seemed to impact everyone across the region and this past week the Stanthorpe bowlers reported their mid-week social program was cancelled due to the wet conditions however everyone agreed that was an insignificant price to pay in comparison to those bowlers in the Lismore and Tweed Coast districts who have lost so much.
With improved conditions on Saturday came the opportunity hit the green. Ray Rankin, Bruno “the unbelievable” Stefanon and Peter Smith took the chocolates in their triples game against Helen, Jones Rocky Thompson and Mark Wicks. The final score 20-8.
The game between Greg Hammond Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti and opponents Poly Lay Robyn Smith and David Rose finished in a cliff hanger. The last end was particularly rowdy as Hammond, Jones and Girgenti snuck away with a 17-16 win.
The pairs game was another close game as Robyn Rose and Brian Brown held out Dot Rankin and Jack Bell 21-18.
the club hosted a group of travelling bowlers on Saturday morning and on Sunday a group of local barefoot bowlers enjoyed their time on the green. These events are proving very popular and if you, a group of friends or an organisation has ever thought about barefoot bowls give the Stanthorpe Bowls club a call to learn how easily this can be arranged.
The club’s featured sponsor this week is M and D Auto. The club wishes to acknowledge the support and ongoing sponsorship of Mick and Judy Spiller.
