On Saturday, Healesville’s second side team two had another convincing win against North Balwyn which put them forward into playing finals next week at home.
Healesville played away against North Balwyn and won comfortably by 23 shots with the final scores at 70 – 47.
Some outstanding efforts go to Glenda Graham and Judy Veermann.
Barry Parker, Colin Jarvis, Leonie Fitzpatrick, Judy Veermann 34 – 10
Russell Smith, Ian Milgate, en Stewart, Glenda Graham 21 – 16
Mike Adams, Effie Laban, Karl Tok, Gerda Otto 15 – 21
Saturday’s team one played Lilydale at home, which promised to be a tough ask against an informed Lilydale side.
With nothing to lose the decision was made to shuffle the team around and to their credit, only went down by 2 shots.
Final scores were 77 – 79.
James Beales (who normally plays lead) was given a huge job as Skip and by all accounts played the position extremely well.
Skip is the person in charge as director and leads the team through their plays.
Scores emerged as follows:
Brad Chandler, Mark Ward, Steve Bulled, Chris Hawting 19 – 19
John Clark, Mick Featherstone, Steve Graham, Rob Ayres 18 – 18
John Simnett, Mark Hoffman, John Howard, Colin Lowe 23 – 22
James Beales, Adrian Beales, Bob Brown, Robyn Turville 17 – 20
Tuesday’s team one played the Upwey/Tecoma away team and was hoping for a win but it was not to be.
The team went down by 8 shots, final scores were 46 – 54.
Wally Mays, Rob Ayres, Effie Laban, Russell Smith 16 – 22
John Clark, Robyn Turville, Bob Brown, Barry Parker 14 – 17
Steve Graham, Steve Bulled, Hilda Gurney, Gerda Otto 16 – 15
Tuesday’s second team had a bye, so their season is over and they hope to do better next season.
Healesville will play at home next week against Blackburn North and the club invites spectators along for the final.
