Feast of bowls for January
Sunday the action moved on to the Diving Bell pairs, with a small field competing in wet weather again.
BOWLING action was back in full swing after a quiet festive period, with two competitions being hosted by the Bluff Bowling Club (BBC).
Last Friday saw June and Glynis’s 3-2-1 killer competition played out in wet weather, challenging even the more experienced bowlers.
First session was won by Herbie Roux and Norman Moore, with the second won by Andy Jones and Errol Pienaar. Jumbo Nel took home the most touchers as well as the board prize. Overall honours went to the senior pairing of Dudley Dorrofield and Bob Hayward, with the duo playing some swashbuckling shots to take the prize. Special thanks go to June and Glynis for the delicious tea and lunch provided.
On Sunday the action moved on to the Diving Bell pairs, with a small field competing in wet weather again. While wrong biases abound and wicks despaired, the action saw Paula and Brian Osman take home first session, while Phil Hill and Ron Addinall took home the second session. Overall winners were Martin and Mary Gaunt, as they lay their opponents to the sword.
A feast of action awaits bowlers at the BBC in January. On Sunday, 15 January the club hosts the Bluff pairs, while on Thursday, 19 January it is the Acutts pairs.
