Not as many as last year, but it was a very busy weekend in our little town, so we feel lucky with the number that graced our greens.

In excess of $6000 was raised for the McGrath Foundation and a happy, fun day with lots of laughter and giggles was had by everyone.

Many thanks to the major sponsors, Khans IGA and Tritton Mines, and to all other persons who donated items, gave their time and to the organisers.

A big thank you to the club, management, staff - paid and volunteer - and to those persons who bid at the auction, every bit helps to fight this insidious disease that attacks both women and men. Winner of the day - The McGrath Foundation

First runner-up: Wright, Morison and Reynolds.

Second runner-up: Smith, Carney and Vane.

Results for the past week are:

Golden Oldies Tuesday winners: Jim McGirr and Michael McGlynn.

Wednesday winners: Andrew Reynolds, Mary Millar and John Quee

Friday winners: Rex Vane, Haley Lane and John Quee.

Sunday winners: Debbie Vane and Jenny Parry

Runner-up: Ron Smith and Eric Nipperess

Other events: Men’s semi finals played on September 24, handicap singles - Les Bexon defeated Moo Thornton 31-20.

Semi-final handicap pairs - Darrell Anderson and Moo Thornton defeated Don Smith and Bill Barrow.

On Sunday, Rex Vane defeated Andrew Reynolds in consistency.

First round of the semi-finals in the Championship Fours was played on Friday evening with Latisha Waterhouse, Jenny Chalker, Helen Beetson and Jenny Parry playing against Mary Arandale, Deb Vane, Liz Wynne and Melissa Arandale.

The game got away at 5.40pm with the Parry team getting out of the blocks to a good start.

It was pretty even up to the 12th end then the Arandale team got a couple of multiple shots and this kicked the team ahead.

The ladies had a great game and the end result really didn’t denote the bowls that were played. Winner on the night was the Arandale team.
