Some 46 RSL Combination bowlers presented themselves on Sunday morning, November 16, at Sporties to enjoy their most recent morning of bowls.

They all played in earnest this week with some players enjoying a real winning streak.

In other “lucky” news, the Christmas vouchers are now up for grabs with 10 fortunate bowlers to score the first 10 available.

Bowlers, remember that there is still time to play your eight games, making you eligible for a Christmas Voucher, so get yourselves out there and play to have a chance of a win.

To start the day, there were seven teams taking to the greens, but there can be “only one winner”, and that was the doubles team of Frank Armstrong and Mick Strawhan taking the victory with a convincing 24-8 shots win over Garry Huggins and Mel Giddings.

A close second was the team of John Kennedy, Bryan O’Sullivan, and new player, Anne Kathage, bowling a solid 25 shots from Chris Castlehouse, Ruby Stockings and Rick See on 13.

Third place was taken out by Frank Bartlett, Vicky Hummell, and Neil Hayburn on 19 shots from Dick Whiteford, Terese Gaio, and Steve Kelly on 11.

On Rink Eight, the team of Howard Courts, Steve Evans, and Graham Ross won their game with only two shots the difference by 17-15 shots from Di Hildebrandt, Roger Sherwin and Peter Sinclair; I heard on the grapevine, that a few “drives” did the damage!

An extremely-close result between the teams of Ken Whittaker, Helen Emblem, and Brian Jones — who managed to bowl their winning shot — sneaking home by 13-12 from Mary Perry, Jenni Spratt, and Paul Goodstat.

Again, only one shot was the difference between the teams on Rink 11 with “Lucky” Leo Balstad, Eric Satchell, and Gaye Cottee scoring by 16-15 over Sue O’Dea, Shirley Marchant, and Rod Pfieffer.

Sue Armstrong, Gary Kathage, and Col Cottee held their own to win their game with 17-12 from Ron McCauley, Ray Strawhan, and Gordon Scott

Maurice Wallace, Peter Collins, and Lachlan O’Neil also won their game with 14-9 from Glennis Hannigan, John Zeb, and Tod O’Dea.

Lucky winners of the resters were Anne Kathage, Sue Armstrong, and “Lucky” Leo. Lucky Numbers were won by Sue Armstrong, John Zeb, and Rick See.

We'll hold our Christmas Party on Saturday, December 6 at Sporties so get your name in to Graham by the last bowling day in November.

As always, new and casual players are welcome. Contact details are available in Dubbo Photo News community diary under "Sunday."
