Monday found the Raiders at Greenlands playing the Chestnuts, on a day threatening a little rain and lower temperatures, but as so often happens it turned into a dry scorcher. But we had a good day, taking one rink and running close on two others. But we had some good games and enjoyed the day. Bill Johnston, Malc Sykes and Diane Yates 16-17. Jean Giddings, Derek Barker and Henry Ryder 15-21. Ann Taylor, Dave Giddings and Bob Taylor 14-12. Rose Passmore, Judy Foley and Keith Longshaw 10-25. Ann Abbott, Tony Abbott and Marion Haynes 7-46.
On wednesday the Rowdies were playing the Cabelleros at Country Bowls and put in a good effort, in losing two rinks by short margins and the other 2 weren’t too far away. Frances Johnston, Rose Passmore, Diane Yates and Henry Ryder 15-17. Bill Johnston, Pam Harris, Ann Taylor and Bob Taylor 14-18. Sheila Cox, Trevor Witcher, Marion Haynes and Mike Cox 14-24. Ria Dukker, Lesley Day, Judy Foley and Bob Day 13-28.
Friday brought Country Bowls to El Rancho, with a gusting breeze causing a little consternation by picking up or dropping just after the bowl left your hand. But we had a good morning’s bowls and picked up two rinks. Ann Taylor, Ron Greenstreet and Bob Taylor 22-6. Chris Ziepe, Malc Sykes and John Ziepe 19-17. Mick Higgins, Derek Barker and Diane Yates 14-28. Frances Johnston, Adrian Ham and Steve Ziepe 5-28. Bill Johnston, Judy Foley and Henry Ryder 20-32.
