Social Bowls No Pennant this week because of State Bowls. This allowed more to play at home on Saturday. A good social day was held followed by a BBQ tea. Winners of the day were Marie Cummings, Raelene Winslow and Ray Gloster, from Robert Lester and Cameron Gloster. 

The big event of the weekend was the Finals playoff of the Ladies Singles Championship between Marie Cummings and Jennifer Wakefield on Sunday afternoon.

And it is Congratulations to Jennifer Wakefield on her thrilling win against Marie in a nail biting game. The good crowd of supporterswere treated to a magnificent game. A close tussle throughout saw both players 24 all with the deciding end to play. And it went to Jennifer. 27 to 24. Jennifer was B grade Champion last year and has remarkably topped it with the Club Championship this year. Your persistence and dedication has paid off. Commiserations to Marie who came so close and has featured in so many Championships over the years.
