Gisborne’s triples tournament

The Gisborne and District Bowling Club held a very successful triples tournament in late January.

The tournament attracted 18 teams, with players coming from Essendon, Glenroy, West Coburg, Melton, Seymour, Harcourt, Kyneton, Woodend and Gisborne bowling clubs.

Following four games and a final series, the ultimate winners were from Glenroy Bowling Club, runners up from Kyneton Golf Bowling Club (S Taylor (s), C Schmit and P Williams), third from Gisborne Bowling

Club (K Jarrod (s), P Wellington and S Lawless) and fourth was a composite side of P Williams (s), M Coleman and P Holtzthane.

The skips from the winning sides with the highest winning margin for each game were: Game 1 – D Noonan from Seymour VRI Bowling Club; Game 2 – G Candy from Gisborne Bowling Club; Game 3 – R Walker from Gisborne Bowling Club; and Game 4 – P Canavan from West Coburg Bowling Club.

Dragons push towards finals

The GDCA season is quickly coming to a close and the finals period will kick off soon.

As usual, the Gisborne Cricket Club is well represented in the finals race. Our McIntyre Cup team sits on top of the ladder undefeated as it defends its title from last season.

Our two Club Grade teams are also looking toward finals, which will be a great outcome. One of these sides is our father-daughter team and the other is our father-son team, so it is good to see them getting some wins as well as having lots of fun along the way.

Our junior boys and girls are also close to the end of another successful season with lots of development, participation and fun being had by all.
