Tuesday’s First Side played away against Mooroolbark.
It was a very windy day on a very slow green and with the wind it made it even slower.
A couple of our rinks got off to a good start and by the half time break there was only six shots in it.
After the break a couple of the rinks struggled while Robyn Turville’s rink came home with a great win, but unfortunately Healesville finally went down by 21 shots, 48/69.
Gerda Otto, Steve Graham, Rob Broadhurst, Robyn Turville – 25/15.
Col Jarvis, Anne Knibbs, Mick Featherstone, Gary Broussard – 8/25.
Bob Brown, Ian Milgate, Rita Featherstone, Steve Bulle – 15/29.
Tuesday’s Second Side played at home against Heathmont.
They are a very strong club and always send their best players, and today was no exception.
Healesville tried to put pressure on Heathmont but they were too strong, although Robert Ayres’s rink got up by one shot on the last bowl of the day, so well-done guys, but unfortunately, we went down by 33 shots, 40/73.
Jim Viggers, Glenda Graham, Mike Adams, Robert Ayres – 18/17.
Barry Parker, John McMillan, Leone Fitzpatrick, Russell Smith – 13/24.
Tino Macri, John Allen, Damian Key, Judy Verrmann – 9/32.
Community Bowls Challenge had their second round of the Charles Hort Memorial Trophy under pleasant spring skies and as usual it was a great night.
Everyone had plenty of laughs and the famous sausages in bread and hamburgers were excellent as always, cooked by Mick and Rita and eaten by the masses.
Watts River Brewery continued their winning performance with Caddie Shackers very close behind them.
Maybe the boys should give up golf and take up bowls on a regular basis.
Advanced Agg Services had another very strong week to stay in contention.
After two weeks the results are in:
First place – Watts River Brewery on 38 points, equal second place – Caddie Shakers and Advanced Agg Services on 35 points and third place on 32 points are the Marshmallows, (a little soft I thought).
Saturday’s First Side played away at Upwey-Tecoma who were currently second on the ladder and we were fifth, so we knew we were in for a tough game.
Unfortunately, due to inclement weather the game was abandoned, not only due to rain but the rink was totally flooded.
This gave each club eight points each which we were not unhappy with.
Saturday’s Second Side played Chirnside Park Cricket Club/Eastwood Golf club combined at home.
Although we were sitting on top of the ladder, this was going to be no easy game.
Unfortunately, due to the terrible weather we were unable to play and therefore each club picked up eight points.
Healesville remain on top of the ladder, but next week will be a real challenge against Yarra Junction at Yarra Junction.
