John had a better read of the greens and Jack appeared to struggle with his weight and thus his length for much of the match - one of those days, as they say.

John is only a recent member of the club and we welcome his experience and hope it will help and influence our overall bowling standards, the club says.

In coming weeks John is to represent Malta at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and while we wish him well we will be cheering on our own Australian team, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi oi!

Wednesday at the Wauchope Men's Bowling Club saw 26 players participate in our single entry select triples.

Winner of the afternoon, and a very popular win I might add, were Graeme Atkins, Max Gatenby and Peter McLeod with +26. Runners up were 'the Comboyne Cowboy' Earl Deb and Adolf Giocavani with +12.

The weather has been great for bowls so get your name down and get along for an enjoyable afternoon.

If you are keen to play in this event please ensure your name is registered prior to 11.30am on the day to avoid any delay in structuring the draw and thus the commencement of the games at 1pm.

Friday saw a turnout of 10 teams contest the nominated pairs event. The winners on the day in a count back on ends were Graeme Atkins, for the second time in the week, and ping, ping, wickathon star Ronnie Ross with +14 (14 ends).

Runners-up were, you guessed it, Ken (Coull) and Barbie (Ansley) also with +14 (11 ends).

Our thanks to Lester, Ken, Ron and Bill for volunteering and so capably representing our club at the President's Day held at Hat Head on Sunday.
