Seaside bowls action

Championship & competitions crown winners

Robe ladies played their singles championship last Wednesday with a disappointing number playing. In the semi final Tracey Gray defeated Bronwyn Matthews 21- 11 and Robbie Dahler defeated Valma Jennings 21-19 in a very tightly contested game.

Robbie started well, winning the first three ends, then Valma gradually pulled back to get in front. Then the lead changed regularly until leading 19-18 Valma let Robbie get a 3 to win 21-19. In the final Robbie had a comfortable win over Tracey 25-12 although the score didn’t reflect the quality of the game.

Robe Community Bank Corporate Bowls wound up Wednesda as well and the club would like to thank the bank for their sponsorship which has been ongoing for many years.

Manager Tracey Bainger thanked the club for running an enjoyable event for businesses to have a bit of fun and relaxation before the Christmas rush.

Touches for the night were won by Antony, Allan, Jim, Kane, Darren, Rene and Trent. After his heroics last week Sam Huebner came down to earth and had to buy his teammates a chocolate for trailing thjack to the opposition and Matt received a chocolate for losing his card and money. The winners for Week 4 were Holy Guacamole from the Union Cafe and runner up were The Pharmers from Robe Pharmacy.

The winners for the four weeks were Mat’s Plumbing 55pts, second Robe Primary School 53 pts and third The Pharmers 51 pts. Such a competition cannot be run without a lot of work from volunteers, so thank you to Jan and ladies in the kitchen, the bbq cooks, Dean and the bar staff, Pam, Robbie and Carolyn for doing the cards and ladder each week, the greenskeeper for setting up the greens. Thanks Nesla and Valma for organising the event. Social bowls on Thursday saw 22 players play two games of two four two.

Runner up on 50+8 were Errol Jennings and Jim Gray and winners on 50+9 were Deane Nankivell and Paul Truelove.

The mixed pairs championships are on Wednesday, December 14, so find a partner and put your team in before December 8.
