The South West Gippsland Mid-Week Bowling group has returned to the greens for another exciting year of great fun and friendly banter.
The first game of 2023 was held at Kooweerup Bowls Club and what a pleasure it was.
The weather was lovely, the green was in tip-top condition and the company was, well, excellent.
It was great to be back following the Christmas break.
We really missed our bowls but it was lovely to meet up with family and friends over the break.
It was good to see everyone laughing and having fun.
Friendly banter was overheard across the greens, but very few, if any, wrong bias bowls were put down this week.
It is always good to get new bowlers playing as we did today.
It was also great to see some Kooweerup players turn up to show us how it’s done.
But, win or lose, it was great to be back and playing.
The winners with a score of 35 were Mark Andreatta (S), Luke Monckton (3), Chris Brooks (2) and George Crynes (L).
Runners up with a score of 32 were Tony Heppleston (S), Frank d’Unienville (3), Michael Saunders (2) and Peter Thorley (L).
And the Best One Game winners, on 23, were: Terry Floyd (S), Gillian Harper (3), Bill Williams (2) and Cheryl Floyd (L).
Thank you very much to George who looked after us behind the bar and also for Luke who cleared up the green when we finished.
We now look forward to next week when we play at Lang Lang.
We hope we can get a few of the locals to join in and keep the numbers up.
We look forward to seeing all our players on site by 10am for a 10:30am start.
