THE annual club competitions at Winklespruit Bowling Club are picking up pace with some surprising and unexpected results in the men’s singles championship.
The results once again prove that bowls is a very unpredictable game. Congratulations to Greg Dickason and Jonty Denysen on winning their singles competitions against veterans Andre Gelderblom and Allan Raubenheimer respectively. Eddie Bingham also managed a win against Dries Snyman.
The social bowls on Friday, 22 May enjoyed good attendance, ending the day with a delicious dinner prepared by Mooihawens. Joyce Mackrory won the attendance draw but was not present to collect her winnings. It will be a carry over for Friday, 29 May.
The monthly nominated mixed trips were played on Sunday, 24 May. The day was blessed with good weather and good bowls with high scores achieved. Second session winners were the experienced team of Bill Rawlinson, partnering with Susan Erasmus and Charlotte Kohl. Overall winners were Andre Gelderblom, Brian Farmer and Norma Raath. The 100 board draw was won by Elly Cox. The day was ended with a bring and braai which was enjoyed by all.
