What a way to finish the season. Really pleasant evening with the weather not too hot and not too cold…porridge anyone??
Best turnout of the year with 26 full teams out for the final round on our beautiful Payneham greens. A big thanks to everyone for making the last night such a success.
Some close games but far more blowouts resulted in a wide range of scores for and against.
- Lupi up by a solitary point over The Falcons. This very close result proved to have massive say in the eventual season’s winners. Could not have been closer.
- New team The Cool Mammas finished on a high with their second win for the season. Well done girls. The Red Devils came close but did not bother the scorers for the 9th time this year. Maybe next year will be your turn to shine.
Winners of the night with an impressive score of 33 points and 22 shots up were Team Euro for the second time this season. Well done Margota, Ginta, Mitch and David. Mitch seems to bring out the best in this team and dad certainly enjoys the red wine.
Resting toucher went to Bruno from The Reilly’s. Third time lucky for Bruno. Bruno has had 2 resting touchers earlier this season but was not quick enough to claim the prize. Watch for Bruno’s smiling face on our wall of infamy.
Jackpot number of -22. We had The Red Devils on – 23 bad…but too bad and The Gold Rollers on – 21 not bad enough because right on the money were The River Rats. Just goes to show there is more than 1 way to be a winner at the Payneham Bowling Club.
NOW FOR THE BIG ONE. WINNERS OF THE SEASON
- In 5th place on 215 were the season’s surprise bolters The Reilly’s
- In 4th place on 229 points were early fancies The Sparkling Reds
- In 3rd place on 231 points were the unlucky Falcons who with just 1 end to go were drawn and coughed up 1 shot and the game on the final end of the season. Talk about close
- In 2nd place on 246 points were Lupi who finished the season with 5 straight wins and performed solidly all season
- Top of the ladder were…THE 4 AMIGOS…on 250 points. Second time in as many years this team has won the prize. Congratulations Tony, Frank, Gino and Francis. Really solid season and some good wins against quality opposition.
Our end of year challenge is shaping up to be a real beauty. First round is scheduled for Thursday 23 March. Get your team in for a chance at one of 6 cash prizes. Would love to see as many teams as possible out and supporting our great bowls community.
Thank you everyone for your continuing support over the past 8 seasons. It has been at times challenging but always good fun and what a great bunch of people to work with.
PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS RESPECT
That’s all from me…stay safe…and for sure I will see you all again
Mike on the mike.
