Healesville’s Saturday Team 2 played away at Croydon against a very strong Heathmont side, who had found form at the right time.
They finished the season in fourth position but managed to beat Templestowe and Blackburn North to get into the grand final. Healesville knew it was going to be a tough final but they certainly came with their A game and finished up being convincing winners by 38 shots 47 – 85 to win the grand final.
Rob Broadhurst, Effie Laban, Karl Tok, Gerda Otto 25 – 29
Mike Adams, Ian Milgate, Glenda Graham, Russell Smith 14 – 22
Barry Parker, Gerry Gommers, Leonie Fitzpatrick, Judy Veermann 8 -34
Healesville’s Tuesday Team 2 played Croydon at home in the semi final and with a huge effort by everyone to beat Croydon by 17 shots 66 – 49 and now play against Heatherdale on Thursday 23 in the preliminary final with the winner going through to play Bayswater in the grand final. Watching the game against Croydon, there was some really good bowling by most of Healesville’s players but the stand outs were Rob Broadhurst, Anne Holland, Len Stewart and Jodie Ward.
Rob Broadhurst, Anne Holland, Leonie Fitzpatrick, Len Stewart 30 – 13
Len Cossons, Gerry Gommers, Colin Jarvis, Judy Veermann 19 – 21
Mike Adams, Damian Key, Glenda Graham, Jodie Ward 17 – 15
Healesville’s Tuesday Team 2 played Heatherdale in the preliminary final at Ringwood and made short work of their opposition winning by 42 shots
81 – 39. The whole team played exceptionally well with a few standouts being Rob Broadhurst, Len Stewart, Len Cossons and Judy Veermann. Next week they are in the grand final against Bayswater (venue to be advised) which should be a cracking game so good luck to the team and bring the flag home for Healesville.
Rob Broadhurst, Anne Holland, Leonie Fitzpatrick, Len Stewart 34 – 14
Len Cosson Gerry Gomers, Colin Jarvis, Judy Veermann 26 – 10
