It's late May and we are approaching the halfway mark of the Winter Bowls season, with the competition's giants now clearly emerging.
On Wednesdays, Mick Underwood continues to reign supreme, shrugging off recent health setbacks to maintain his place at the top.
On Saturdays, Steve van der Veen rules the waves, combining clinical precision with obvious enjoyment on the green.
The ever-vigilant statistics collectors — Teesa and Team — report that Mick's lead is under threat from Sharon Irwin, Joylene Koch, Jackie Hammond and Brian Dunstall.
Meanwhile, Steve is being closely pursued by Paul Badenoch, Alan Speck and Libby Lock, ensuring the battle for top honours remains very much alive.
Hopefully the video below of these nine giants will distract you from the disappointment of rain-affected mid-winter days.
