Barflies a great success at ABC
The first Barflies day at ABC was a huge success, and over a hundred bowlers and would-be bowlers filled 14 rinks.
IN the women’s 2-4-2 at Amanzimtoti Bowling Club, the winners were Marion Crouch and Adrienne Robbins, and the runners-up were Yvonne Wright and Gaynor Snyman.
The second session was won by Cathy du Plooy and Val de Kok.
Sue Welch won the 100 board.
At TGIF Alan McGregor won the 100 board. Trevor Zulch, social member number 84 was not present when his number was drawn in the member’s draw so next week’s draw is worth R200. Jackie Holdrick drew key 36 but unfortunately it did not turn in the lock. Thus next week’s key will be worth around R4,300.
There was a very close game in the men’s nominated trips on Saturday when the team of Glen Scorgie, Mark Brody and Mike Pitchers, playing against Ian Crouch, Lofty van Tonder and Mickey Roche were peeled at 13 all going into the last end; however Ian’s team scored the winning shot.
In the other nominated trips game, Peter Callaghan, Ian Mills and Andrew Walker were the victors by four shots over Bill Williams, Dave Gardner and Alan McGregor. One women’s game was played and Jeanne Alexander, Adrienne Robbins and Linda McGregor beat Liz Morgan-Davies, Elmarie Young and Jacqui Fouché in the drawn trips.
Well done to Shawn Sutherland on coming from behind in his novice singles match at Durban Bowling Club to win his match. Good bowling in the next round on Saturday. Also best of luck to the women playing the first round of the Scottish Leader novice singles on Saturday. They are Talla and Lesley Stephens-Viviers, Gaynor Snyman and Karen Shepard.
