Bowls

THE Collie Bowling Club’s ladies completed the Heather Gibbs sponsored championship fours last week.

Games were played on three days and the eventual winners were Penny Valli, Glenice Kaurin, Kath McElroy, Estelle Johnsen and Kerry Scott. Runners up were Rose Colgan, Bev Old, Cheryle Brown and Heather Gibbs.

After the South West League championships, country week pairs games will be played. Players are to be in attendance by 8.45am for the draw, with games starting at 9am.

LAST week’s meat pack attracted a good field. There was a change of partners for the second game with all scores carried forward. Winner was Trevor Welsh with four plus 26 from Vicki Daniel on four plus 23 and Rob Ferris with four plus 11.

THERE were some great bowls played by the community bowlers last week.

The spider was won by Daniel from Derby Road, while the touchers went to Kellie from Bendigo Bank, Vicki from Miners and Anjee from Figjam.

The men’s touchers went to Ian from the Dockers, George from Senior Cits and Wayne from Retired Miners.

Round six overall winner was Ballbangers.
