It was another great day for the South West Gippsland Mid-Week (SWGMW) family of bowlers with 30 of the team turning up at Lang Lang Bowls Club for another exciting challenge.

And what a challenge it was with many drawn matches making the competition as exciting as it has ever been before.

The weather was a bit on the warm side, with most of the players heading for the shade between shots.

The green was in excellent condition but it was still a bit tricky for quite a few players with a few wrong bias shots adding to the weight of the Royal Children’s Hospital tin…which is always a good thing!

And, as usual, there was quite a bit of friendly banter between players as well as laughter across all rinks.

Winners of the day, on 35 points were Peter McWilliams and Lindsay Russell (Co-Skips), along with Joy Brown (2) and Shirley Corcoran (L).

Runners up, on 30 points were Michael Dady (S), Laurie Bell (3), Frank d’Unienville (2) and Wayne Stevens (L).

And the day’s Best One Game winners were Mark Andreatta (S), Robyn Coulson (3), Chris Coulson (2) and Bob Arnold (L).

It was great to see so many players who have been missing over the past few months turn up for a roll.

It was also good to see Jan who came along to have a look even though she is recovering from a bad fall.

A big shout out to Marianne and Colin in the bar, Vern who cleared up the green after the match and Marianne and Bev in the kitchen.

This week the group meets at Corinella for yet another great day of bowls.

The SWGMW family looks forward to seeing everyone on site by 10am to allow time to get the teams in order.

Meanwhile, have a great week and we hope everyone had terrific results in their respective pennant competitions.
