The sun was shining and perhaps the temptation to suggest that winter was saying goodbye and spring was on the agenda. So was 1 August 2026.
We had 56 players present @ Sturt this day and with 11 rinks available to us, we had a combination of triples / pairs matches on the go.
Again, we welcomed bowlers from Millswood, Adelaide, Toorak Burnside & Clarence Gardens and again we thank our visitors for their contribution.
With +15, Wyatt Groth and John Fullerton tied for first place and are so declared joint champions of the day. Russell Moore continued some recent fine form in 3rd place with +14 while Andrew Gard +12 & Di Storr +11 from Millswood completed the minor placings.
Best 2nd round went to a triple on +9 with Andrew Messenger (Toorak Burnside), Wyatt Groth & John Fullerton holding sway. Andrew McDonald, Giovanni Spagnuolo and Andy Payne (Millswood) were the lucky draw winners.
With 4 Saturdays remaining, Steve van der Veen is shield leader but Paul Badenoch, Stew Allen, Alan Speck & Libby Lock may have a say in proceedings (as may others).
Thank you to Diana Frankcom, Joyous Janine Skurray, Diane Fullerton, Bob Rutten, Dean Buder, Ralph Hounslow for their precise administration, Tommy Morgan, Richard Weeks, Al Ludlow et al for attending to refreshments, Nick Manglaras for his running the cards and all others for making this day outstanding.
Keep those bowls rolling well and look forward to seeing the smiling faces on Wednesday.
