On Monday the Raiders were at Monte Mar playing the Matadors, the scores in the main looked devastating, but good bowls were played by all. In the end we came away with one rink, I think most of us struggled a little with line and length. But it remains my favourite venue to visit. Bill Johnston, Derek Barker and Henry Ryder 22-16. Ria Dukker, Sheila Cox and Mike Cox 4-25. Rose Passmore, Judy Foley and Ron Greenstreet 6-27. Jean Giddings, Malc Sykes and Dave Giddings 6-26. Ann Abbott, Tony Abbott and Marion Haynes 8-33.

Wednesday found the Rowdies at Greenlands playing their Gladiators, who proved to be a little too strong for the Rowdies, but they always enjoy getting out there and bowling. The Gladiators took full advantage of the home mat, taking all the available points. Frances Johnson, Rose Pasmore, Pam Harris and Henry Ryder 8-36. Derek Barker, Mike Higgins, Mags Higgins and Diane Yates 12-27. Sheila Cox, Tony Abbott, Ann Abbott and Mike Cox 9-19. Ria Dukker, Lesley Day, Judy Foley and Bob Day 9-22.

On Friday the Mustangs were away to Quesada Swans, proving to be a difficult task and coming away without a point, but the result is not the most important facet of the match. Bowlers of all levels are welcome at El Rancho, for further membership information contact Sheila Cox at micksheilacox@gmail.com.
