sports Broulee Runners February 2nd 2022
This evening we had forty starters and lots Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 of personal best mes. In the 2-kilometres PBs were recorded by Kira Pendlebury, Neve Lenehan, Stella Lloyd-Jones, Millie Shanahan, Archie Gilligan, Violet Kerr, Eli Melgaard and Rhe Guthrie. In the 3.5kilometres PBs were recorded by Bradley Lunn and Poppy Melgaard. Dan Lloyd-Jones and Sco Melgaard were using tonight to limber up for the triathlon this coming weekend. They both are expected to feature prominently in the results. We welcomed Atul Sharma and Emily Tugwell, who are both medical students working locally. We also were pleased to welcome Monica Kerr for her first run, who helped her daughter Violet run a PB. Next week we celebrate the 15th year of the Broulee Runners, which commenced on 7 February 2007. The inspira on to start the event was when Liza Mar ni and Mike Kennedy were training for the 2007 Canberra Marathon. As there were no compe ve running events in the district, they decided to organise a handicap event over 5-kilometres. The idea was that slower runners were given a start and the faster tried to catch them. This idea of a handicap event was dropped a year later in favour for a group start. The 3.5-kilometres was added in September 2008. A year later the 2-kilometres was added. As a result of having this compe on Liza went on to complete her first marathon in a me of 3.57.58 and Mike his 19th and last in 3.56.18. Liza went on to improve her performances and Mike went out backwards. The only other original, of the early months, s ll fron ng up on Wednesday evenings to run is Annie Johnsen. Annie started on 14 March 2007 and has 194 runs on the board.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017
Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 The con nuing wet weather has hampered the start of the new bowls season with two days needed to complete the first games in the Consistency Singles. With the current season to run un l June 2023 it has been decided to rejig the local program with significant changes to the order of events. The first event is one that social bowlers can join registered bowlers.
Five games were scheduled for Saturday – the only round 1 game and four round 2 games – to fit in with the green space available. At this stage only one green – 7 rinks – is available for play. Two of the games were completed on Saturday but players in the other three games had to come back on Tuesday to complete their games.
It was one of the uncompleted games that turned out to be the highlight. John Monks (above) and Mick Challice needed the full 30 ends to come up with a result. In this event the aim is to have your bowls as close to the jack as possible. Points are then awarded for the four closest bowls from four for the closest to one for the fourth closest. Ten points are awarded each end with the first player to 150 points the winner.
Challice started the be er in his game with Monks and maintained the lead for the first 14 ends at which point he had a 75 – 65 advantage. Monks grabbed the lead on the 17th end moving to the front 87 – 83. The remainder of the game was a real ba le and on 3 occasions the players were level pegging – 100 all, 120 all and 130 all! Monks collected all 10 points on the 27th end to give him the upper hand at 140 – 130. Challice fought back and with an end to play Monks had a slender 146 – 144 lead. In a very ght end the players split the spoils giving Monks the closest of victories at 151 – 149!
In the only Round one match Peter Macdonald finished far too strongly for Noel Downie. Downie – the defending Champion - competed well for the first ten ends and lead 47 – 43. But from this point Macdonald dominated play to win the majority of the ends to triumph 150 – 90. Col Fletcher demonstrated how much his game has developed when he totally outplayed Stuart Graham. Fletcher was never headed in winning 153 to 107.
Newish bowler, Bill Burch, started slowly against Alan Skelton but once he se led in he more than held his own. He was able to record an excellent 152 – 118 victory to move into the third round! In the final game Ivan Balentovic was able to finish too strongly for Lou Kozlik. A er 12 ends the players were level at 60 all. From this point Balentovic had the be er of play to record a 158 – 112 victory.
