On Monday the Pintos played their last match of the season at Quesada, against the Diamonds. We had a tough match, but played some good bowls, losing is not always indication of poor play. We did however come away with just one rink, but I am sure we all enjoyed the morning. Ann Abbott, Dave Haynes and Bob Day 9-26. Lesley Day, Sheila Cox and Marion Haynes 18-9. Dave Baker, Judy Foley and Ron Greenstreet 5-26. Ria Dukker, Malc Sykes and Diane Yates 17-23. Tony Abbott, Sheila Millward and Jim Eastwood 10-30.

Wednesday found our rinks team playing host to BBB and had an enjoyable match despite losing the three rinks by varying degrees. Sheila Millward, Dave Haynes, Marion Haynes and Jim Eastwood 14-17. Bill Johnston, Frances Johnston, Judy Foley and Keith Longshaw (replaced by Ria Dukker) 10-22. Sheila Cox, Pam Harris, Brian Harris and Mike Cox 10-30.

On Friday the Mustangs were at La Siesta playing the Blues, a very strong wind was bringing dust of the very large building site, next door. Play was difficult, hence the large heads, but the wind became less strong for the last half giving one the impression of being in control of the bowls. But as always there was a jovial spirit along with a little disappointment, in coming away without a point, although two rinks weren’t far away. Frances Johnston, Ron Greenstreet and Adrian Ham 18-22. Lesley Day, Dave Haynes and Marion Haynes 17-25. Sheila Millward, Kev Henry and Jim Eastwood 14-22. Ann Abbott, Tony Abbott and Malc Sykes 4-27. Bill Johnston, Judy Foley and Bob Day 11-21.
