Sparkling Smith sets the bar high at San Remo

The gang at the South West Gippsland Midweek Bowling Group headed to the beautiful San Remo Bowls Club on Thursday to decide the weekly winners.

What a magnificent Spring day it was with 37 of the family turning up at San Remo to once again fight it out for team of the week.

The temperature was absolutely beautiful for this time of the year, but the wind did create havoc among many of the bowlers.

The company was brilliant, and the green was in excellent condition.

Peter and Pauline led us all to the green to fight not only our opponents, but also the wind.

There was quite a bit of laughter as the bowlers fought their way through the games.

There were one or two wrong bias bowls today, but the Royal Children’s Hospital will appreciate the donations.

But in the end the cream rose to the top and the winners were counted.

The weekly winners, on a score of 35, were David Smith (S), Trevor Loughridge (3) and Tony Morris (L).

Runners up on a very close score of 34 were Phil Wright (S), David Talbot (3), Gwen Jeffries (2) and Gary King (L).

Best One Game winners, on 24 points, were Peter Borradale (S), Chris Brooks (3) and Cheryl Floyd (L).

It was great to see a couple of new bowlers turn up, and even better to see them end up in the winner’s circle.

This week we will be attending Kooweerup and look forward to having high numbers as the summer gets closer and closer.

So we hope to see everyone at the club by 10:00am.

Any new players are welcome to attend.
