Saturday bowls consisted of something new with a Town versus Country match. Players living within the 60km zone took on the country bumkins living outside the 60km zone. The townies started hot favourites thinking the country players would suffer from 4WD lagg but as usual the boys and girls from the bush handled the cold conditions better proving to strong winning easily 179 to 131. The Country team of Mike Sheely, Nico Duynhoven won the Jack High restaurant voucher with the highest score but the only town team to put up a fight were Jason Cassidy, Terry Davies winning the voucher, a great day of bowls was enjoyed with 32 players and plenty of sledging and no doubt there will be a get square rematch soon.

The quarter finals of the major singles will resume on Saturday, July 4 with Jason Cassidy playing Andrew Henderson, John Andrews vs Col Hebblewhite, Graham Turnbull vs Aaron Kelly and Gary Spokes vs Tony Tersteeg and the winners will line up on Sunday, July 5 in the semi final with the singles final and the first round of the pairs to be played the weekend of July 11 and 12.

A huge thanks to all bowlers for their understanding during the shut down and with restrictions easing we anticipate bowls will be back to normal soon.
