Damp start on the Warwick green

Warwick Bowls Club members, Dawn McLennan and Trish Owens sponsored an afternoon of bowls last Wednesday (29/6). Play began under heavy skies and in showery conditions. Fortunately for the 12-bowlers who braved the conditions. the weather improved during the afternoon.

The afternoon’s mystery condition of play was revealed to be ‘the highest winning score’ which pleased the team of Kay Bloomfield, Peter Guy and Phil Wagner after they recorded a 28-17 win in their game against Pamela Kerr, Pat Seipelt and Russell Bean. They left with the winners prizes.

Aaron Payne, Ken Hayes and John Ruhle 24-15 win over Bing Hansen, Edwin Welsh and Brian Black provided them with enough ammunition to claim the runner’s up position.

One again bowls last weekend were interrupted due to the wet conditions on Saturday and the final of the Self Selected Fours was postponed.

The club and players appreciated the sponsorship of both Dawn McLennan and Trish Owens.

Finalists, Pamela Kerr, Phil Wagner, Brian Black and Craig Thurgate are now scheduled to play Arron Payne, Peter Guy, Richard Tartan and Tim Gallagher this Saturday and all players will be hoping for a drastic change in conditions before then.
