Bob claims Wanderers senior singles

By Bolt-on-Wanderers

WITH the Wanderers Bowling Club scribe missing last week’s deadline, there was no mention of Bob Hayward’s victory over Eric Smit to claim the senior singles men’s title, or any mention of the Dan Paruk invitational which was won by Mike Freeman, Tommy Simpkins and Jimmy Neill.

There was also no mention of the 20 or so teams which participated in the annual Gold Day at Toti either. The scribe apologises for these omissions.

Sunday saw 22 teams enjoy a great breakfast at the monthly trips. Due to the inclement weather, there was a delayed start and the delayed prize-giving was done by lucky draw. Drawn winners were the McGlynns, followed by Russell Shepherd, Chris Klopper and Eric Swanson. Claiming the third prize were Margaret, Rob A and partner. Session prizes went to Rob Philogene and Andy Cloete in the first session and Herbie, Steve and Dirk in the second session. Drawn sportsman’s prize went to Toti raiders, Julie Sullivan and team. The R5 board saw Brian Smith claim the rump, Eric Swanson the beef, and the R50 prizes went to Clive and Rob A. Well done to all who make this such an enjoyable tournament, your efforts are appreciated.

Taffy’s pairs was will be hosted on Wednesday, so call Ken to enter a side on 073-613-9733.

The main club also hosted a New Years eve bash with DJ Kyle, which was well supported.

Friday’s snowball of R1,200 was a carry-over as Mike Gould was not present. Various meat pack winners were lamb pack Derek Rowsell, beef Barry and Trish, pork roast Derek Rowsell, rump Troy Simpkins, chicken pack Clive Symons, chicken Rob Philogene.

The lotto was a carry-over of R170 with winning numbers 1-7-9 not being taken.

The weekly joker draw was another consolation winner with Rob and Dan claiming the R50. The potential prize is now over R9,200.

The club’s thoughts and prayers are extended to those members on the recovery list. Get well soon fellow Wanderers.
