Sunny conditions with gusty winds confronted bowlers as the Sturters claimed 4 wins 2 losses in a reasonable day's work.
Exciting scenes @ Adelaide V in Division 6 East where Sturt IV scored a compelling 80-56 shot victory (2 rinks up). Having a huge say in this result were Peter Quick, Alan King, Alan Speck and Phil Scardigno who with a 37-14 result claim rink of the day status, well done lads. The 4ths are now 5th and have an important home clash against Lockleys IV (3rd) this Saturday.
The top side with 3 rinks up made it 5 in a row in Division 2 with a 22 shot home victory vs Hawthorn II. Kim Keane, Rachel Krebbekx, Richard Weeks & Jack Trenorden feasted, 34-12 and just missed rink of day honours. Sitting top, we visit undefeated Kensington Marryatville I (2nd) for a blockbuster.
The 2nd side with 3 rinks up managed the points in the Division 3 East derby with an 87-64 win over Sturt III. Bob Rutten, Stew Allen, Peter Drabsch and Steve Young had a great day while Sturt III were very well served by Vicki Kavanagh, Margie Haines, Cheryl Saunders & Ralph Hounslow. This week, the Magoos, undefeated and top of the league, journey to Hawthorn V who are also undefeated while the 3rds have a very important outing when they host Prospect Broadview II (5th).
Our Division 7 Central sides had mixed results with the 5ths just failing by 7 shots against Toorak Burnside V at home. 2 rinks up with the Libby Lock, Bron Perry, Ned Kelly, Frank Sabatino being the best performed. Sitting 6th, we journey to Colonel Light Gardens III (10th) in a likely match up. The 6th side was very good today, away @ tricky Lockleys VI and securing a significant 8 shot victory. Sharon Irwin, Auntie Maria Canala, Rob Minson and Dick Sismey were formidable in their 7 shot rink win. In 4th spot, the 6ths have a home date with undefeated Millswood V (1st) in what will be a stella test.
Keep those bowls rolling close....
