The format for last Saturday’s Trophy afternoon at the Summit Bowls Club was a little different with bowlers playing South African Pairs.
In this format the bowl closest to the jack is worth four points; the second shot three points; the third shot two points and the fourth shot one point.
The winners Rod Crome and Tony Schubert with a total of 146 points. John Graham and Brian Wilmot finished in second place (128 points) and rounding out the placing in third place were Maree Ball and Jamie Zamprogno (124 points).
Peter Ayerst organised and sponsored the fun format which was very much appreciated by the committee and bowlers. Hopefully there will be another round of the popular format in the near future.
Ladies are reminded that nominations for the Club Ladies Singles close on Saturday May 14 and nominations for the Club Men’s Fours close on Saturday, May 21.
What’s ahead in May:-

Saturday 14 May – Social Bowls; Nominations close for Club Ladies Singles
Tuesday 17 May – Turkey Triples
Sadly Attilio Zamprogno, the Summit Bowls Club’s nonagenarian passed away last week. There would be few clubs able to boast that one of their playing members was a 97-year- old and up until quite recently that was the case at the Summit.
Attilio came to bowls much later in life than most but relished the game and was a tough competitor. Many of a certain age will recall him in younger years as a keen supporter of the Inter soccer team.
Attilio was a popular member of the club and a true gentleman. His presence at the club will be sorely missed and members of the Summit Bowls club extend their deepest sympathy to his family.
