Sacred Heart School Production

Congratulations and thank you to the Sacred Heart students, staff and families who created a spectacular production, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended across the two performances.

Tatura Bowlers In The Big Smoke

Taura bowlers Jason Carter, Keith Smith and Julian Robson after winning their section and qualifying along with a Numurkah town side in the Bowls Premier League (BPL) round held at the Tatura Bowls Club in early August, headed off to Sunbury Bowls Club accompanied by some keen local supporters to test themselves against other qualifiers in the next round of the BPL Cup. In facilities that all bowlers declared were excellent, the Tatura trio performed admirably winning their first game, tying their second game but losing on a one end sudden death playoff and losing their third game. Bowlers and supporters all agreed it was a great day out.

Tatura Hill Top Two Bowls Singles Event

In preparation for the commencement of Goulburn Valley pennant bowls commencing in October, an event created for bowlers to practice their bowls when there are only two bowls permitted at pennant has created a keenly contested ‘Two Bowls Singles’ event. Recently, thirty Tatura Hill Top bowlers played in several games to qualify for the same day knockout series with losing players eliminated until a champion was determined. By mid-afternoon, with the finalists having played around 200 bowls for the day, only Greg Toy and Brendon Boyd remained. In a high display of precision bowling by both players, Boyd prevailed over Toy to take out the Two Bowls Singles crown 12 shots to 7. It was a fantastic day of bowls and appreciation is conveyed to organisers, volunteers, BBQ crew and obviously the participating players.

Tatura Indoor Bowls Awards Night

With the indoor carpet bowls season coming to a close, Club President Terry Gale made presentations to the Tatura Club's Ladies Champion Frances Britten, Men's Champion Keith Smith and the Mixed Pairs champions Lyn and Laurie Nicholson. The year provided no joy for the teams entered in the pennant competition as no grand final success came their way. However, members did enjoy success at Goulburn Valley events winning the Ladies and Men's Pairs, a member in the winning Mixed Pairs event and winning the GV Phem Close Memorial Triples. Club members were also successful participants in tournaments held at Bamawn Extension and Moama RSL.

LOCK IT IN, WINNERS ARE GRINNERS

With 140 bowlers from near and far, the Tatura and Hill Top bowling clubs provided the venues for the five game Richie Trevaskis 2 bowl triples competition. Culminating in two five game winners playing for the spoils. The eighteenth annual event saw a Midlands Bowling Club trio from the Ballarat area take the honours in a closely fought five end playoff. The Midlands team comprised of lead Eric Kosloff Third Lynne Lock and Skip Rodney Lock. Their opponents, and runners up, from the local district were young gun Josh Warren, Kyabram bowler Rob George and Hill Top’s own Rod Madill.

The five end playoff featured some stunning bowls, testament to the Hill Top green running well, especially after a wet week leading up to the tournament. Well done to the winners. There were many sponsors from across the state with local firms Trevaskis Engineering, Hip Pocket Workwear and Safety, Ultimate Fasteners, Senior Steel, Hotwire Auto Electrics, Kyabram Batteries and Tatura Caravan Hire supporting the event. In memory of Richie Trevaskis, the founder of Trevaskis

Engineering, these local businesses all have a proud connection to the Trevaskis name in some way.

The weather gods shone brightly for the weekend with no rain falling for the duration of the 115 games played over the Saturday and Sunday. Teams of all abilities assembled with players from as far as Paynesville, Hay and Melbourne competing. Four sponsors teams at the ‘novice level’ battled it out for the wooden spoon. All teams could also walk away a little wealthier with two lucky card draws over the weekend.

Visiting chef Joel and the Hill Top kitchen crew provided two great lunches enjoyed by all. A big thankyou to The Hay Bowling and Golf Club for stocking up the raffle table for two big draws.

For all those bowlers wanting to fine tune their game for next year’s pennant, then please pencil in the Richie Trevaskis Tournament in Tatura commencing on the second Saturday in September. Next year that will be the Saturday Sunday Sept 9 and 10.
