FIRSTLY, I would like to say on behalf of the Woodlands Sports Club and bowling section, our deepest sympathies to Maria Berry and family on the death of Greg Berry on Wednesday.
He helped stop a hijacking and gave chase after one of the hijackers and did a citizen’s arrest. While he was in the pharmacy, he collapsed and died due to a heart attack. He will be sorely missed at Woodlands Bowling Club. Due to Greg’s wake at the sports club on Friday evening there was no snowball. The winners of the meat draw were: First Karyn Wallace, second Shannon Palmer, third Cobus Janse van Vuuren.
Due to the rain on Wednesday, the open pairs competition was cancelled and on Thursday the casual fours breakfast went ahead as planned. The weather started off with sprinklings of rain but cleared later. The results are as follows: First session was won by Chris Pozyn, Neal, Michelle and Lorrain on a 2+7.
Second session was won by Dudley Dorrofield, Ton Hoggins, Dave Rowe and Brain Osmand on a 2+12. The winners were Rina Harper, Norman Moore, Linda Hewer and Andy Cloete on 4+16. The meat draw was won by Chris Pozyn. Ken Koch and Eleanor Stewart snuffed the R40 money board and the measly R20 went to Bob Hayward and Ellen Loots. Drawn prizes were: Skip Bob Hayward, third Ken Thomas, second Alan Moor and lead Philip Pieterse.
On Saturday, the final for the mixed pairs competition was played by Norman Moore and Lynn Carlyle against Arthur Carlyle and Daphne Els with Norman Moore and Lynn Carlyle the winners. Rina Harper and Linda Hewer played the women’s point singles with Rina emerged as the winner of that game.
On Sunday, the women’s and men’s teams played in the Port Natal fours competition. The men’s team namely, Norman Moore, Dix Harold, Bill Hewer and Andy Cloete won two games and lost one game. The women’s team namely, Gloria Rice, Rina Harper, Linda Hewer and Lynn Carlyle went through to the next round on an overall win of +21 and will play again on Sunday afternoon. Well done to all. Good luck to all bowlers for the next round.
