CONGRATULATIONS to Doug Joubert, Andrew Pearce, Steve Evenwel and Ian McDonald who are the men’s drawn fours champions at Toti Bowling Club.
In the final, they played Adie Fuller, Alf Bingham, Barry Buckland and Johan van der Westhuizen. After 21 ends the score peeled at 17 all, and Doug’s team took the winning shot in the 22nd end.
In the men’s handicap singles, Colin Coetzee beat Martin Birch; Ian Mills overcame Kokkie de Kock; Wessie van der Westhuizen defeated Alan McGregor; and Dave McMillan got the better of Boet Els.
In the men’s nominated pairs, Ian Mills and Micky Roche had a close win over Greg McLeod and Doug Joubert. In the mixed pairs another tight game was played out with Mike and Debbie Groom having to play an extra end to take the winning shot over Julie and Shawn Sutherland.
Pam Chalder-Royle and Nicky Stirzaker had a good win over Jane Coetzee and Talla Stephens-Viviers in the women’s drawn pairs; then Val de Kok and Lesley Stephens-Viviers beat Julie Sutherland and Margaret van Belkum; and Heather Brown and Maggie Robertson defeated Amanda Ninow and Adrienne Robbins by three shots.
In the monthly women’s trips, the winners were Maureen Crawford, Nita Meumann and Bernie Bretherton; the runners- up were Heather Brown, Christine Darley and Lys McDonald; and the second session went to Marion Crouch, Kathy du Plooy and Val de Kok. The spider was won by Lys McDonald and raised R125,50 for hospice. Nita Meumann won the 100 board.
Dallas Davis and Micky Roche were the winners of the men’s 2-4-2; with Colin Coetzee and Dave Kemp coming second; and Bill Rawlinson and Barry Bush taking the second session. In the men’s scroungers the winner was Dave Kemp, with Adie Fuller in second place, and Wessie van der Westhuizen coming third. Plate A was won by Hennie van der Poel, and plate B by Peter Labuschagne.
At TGIF Margaret van Belkum won the 100 board; Dalene Pretorius was not present, so next week’s attendance draw will be worth R700. Mike Groom picked the ‘unlucky’ key in the draw as it did not fit the box, so next week’s draw is worth R3,690.
The winners of Big Chicks were Peter Labuschagne, Neil Oberholzer, Denny Denysschen and Elsie Walker; the runners-up were Clive Frank, Terry Morgan, Shayne Tocher and Denise Bingham; first session went to Jerry Gertzen, Neville Roscoe, Nita Meumann and Robbie Roberts; the second session was won by Coy Schrauwen, Doug Joubert, Maureen van der Poel and John Allers.
Most bowls went to Gerald Chalder-Royle, Das Veldsman, Yvonne Hooper and Bernie Bretherton, and the 13th prize was won by Clive and Meryl Hambley, and Yvonne and Duncan Wright. The board was won by Robbie Roberts, Les John and Wessie van der Westhuizen. Thanks as always to sponsors Jerry Gertzen of Orange River Cellars, Gladys Hughes and Brian Pascoe.
Note the next Big Chicks will be on Sunday, 9 August a week earlier than usual. There will be some members playing other competitions that weekend, so it will be appreciated if you get substitutes where necessary. Tick your teams off on the list if you are alright to play that day.
On Friday, 24 July is Kwikspar mixed 2-4-2 and on Sunday, 26 August is mutton. Check if you have carded games this weekend. The club appreciates the contribution made by Tony Darley, who takes the photos of winning teams that are regularly published in this newspaper.
Many happy returns go this week to Bobby Stewart, Jeanette Clarence, Herbie Hoffman and Ian Scorgie. Good health and good bowling are wished to all.
