Stanthorpe bowls to June 11

Len Girgenti Contributed

Our inaugural “Stanthorpe Turkey Triples” was held on Wednesday June 7 with 10 teams from around the district attending the competition. The event went off without a hitch and a great day was had by all who participated. The eventual winners of the day were The Summit team of Ray Spiller, Phil Davies and Rob Capelli who blitzed the field with a winning margin of 32. Runners up were Robyn Rose, Wendy Hurnall and David Rose of the Stanthorpe Bowls Club with a margin of 28. Our next Turkey Triples will be held on Wednesday July 5. Thank you to everyone who help organise the day with a special thanks to Jeff Alldridge for looking after the scoring for the day.

The final of the Club selected Fours competition was held on Saturday June 10. Rocky Thompson, Polly Lay (sub), Greg Hammond and Brian Brown took to the rink to do battle with Robyn Rose, Jack Bell, David Rose and Len Girgenti for this years title. Brian Brown’s team took the lead early in the game and were never really challenged by their opposition taking out the title by 22 shots to 11. Congratulations to Brian and his team on a job well done and commiserations to Len’s team.

One game of social bowls pairs was also played on Saturday June 10 resulting in a comfortable win to Helen Jones and Barry Murphy over Caroline Draper and Dot Rankin by 20 shots to eleven

The friendly team at Favero Motors are our on green sponsors for this week. Our Club would like to thank them for their on going and valued support.
