Tuesdays First Side played away today against Warburton.
We knew it was going to be a tough game as the Warby/Healesville rivalry is a do or die match, but with great banter as the two clubs have a special bond.
Having said that, they were far too good for us today beating us by 27 shots, 41/68.
We will have to put our best foot forward when they come to Healesville later in the season.
Bob Brown, Ian Milgate, Rita Featherstone, Steve Bulled – 18/20.
Russell Smith, Anne Knibbs, Mick Featherstone, Gary Broussard – 15/23.
Gerda Otto, Steve Graham, Rob Broadhurst, Robyn Turville – 8/25.
Tuesdays Second Side played Monbulk at home.
Monbulk were second on the ladder so we knew it could be a tough match even on our own turf.
Healesville jumped out of the starting blocks with all rinks showing their strength and by half time Healesville had a commanding lead. After the break Healesville kept up the pressure and Monbulk had no answers, finally going down by 41 shots, 83/42.
Every one played a great game which now puts Healesville above Monbulk in second place.
Tino Macari, Mark Cookney, Colin Jarvis, Bernard Godde – 25/16.
Karl Tok, Glenda Graham, Mike Adams, Len Cosson – 21/14.
Jim Viggers, Jill Cookney, John McMillan, Damian Key- 37/12.
Saturdays First Side played at home against Mooroolbark.
To hold our third position we needed to get a win.
Mooroolbark are a strong club and they would also be hoping to get a win to move themselves up the ladder.
Mark Wards rink started off strong and never looked like loosing which in the end helped us get an overall win.
We finished 2 rinks up and two rinks down with an overall win of 19 shots, 93/74.
Ian Milgate, Anne Knibbs, Rita Featherstone, Gary Broussard – 17/26.

Russell Smith, Bob Brown, Steve Bulled, Robert Ayres – 16/18.
Saturdays 2nd Side played Ringwood at home and to stay in the upper part of the ladder, we needed to win.
This game was going to be tough and right from the start it was a neck and neck battle.
Ringwood weren’t going to lie down, but to the credit of our Healesville bowlers, we kept a few shots ahead of Ringwood leading up to the half time break.
After the break it was still anybody’s game and with only two ends to go the result could have gone either way.
Ringwood got one shot ahead with one to go.
Mark Cookney put a great bowl down to give us shot, then they replied and it came down to Bernard Godde, (who use to play for Ringwood) with his last shot and he put it on the jack to even the match 52/52.
Fabulous game by all players, keep up the good work.
Karl Tok, John McMillan, Barry Parker, John Howard – 17/17.
Jim Viggers, Jill Cookney, Glenda Graham, Mike Adams – 21/17.
Jude Wallace, John Allen, Mark Cookney, Bernard Godde – 14/18.
