Bowls and bright colours raise money for Can Assist

WOMEN'S BOWLS By LEA ORR No white leghorns in sight at the bowlo on Tuesday! The ladies were looking resplendent in all the Cancer Council colours, ready to raise some money and show our support. Ground Control, as always, dazzled us with their work ethic, rolling the green to perfection. Cheers. The Minor Singles Semi-Final obligated Lil Thomson and Lynn Ryan, plus marker, Kay Craft, to be in blue and yellow uniform. Lynn felt somewhat blue as the match progressed, with Lil giving an impressive performance with the bowling arm, glowing with an easy victory. Thanks to Kay and Liz for officiating. Kim Evans was also firing with her bowling arm! (Maybe we should all get one!) Valmai Westcott, Irene Allen and Kim scampered to an unbeatable lead and even the experience of Gwenda Carty, Chris Curteis and Marja Iffland could not stem the cascade of points. Rink 5 girls enjoyed a closer tussle. Lyn Chambers, Lea Orr and Annie Smith began in a purple patch, opening up a 7-shot lead. Opponents Irene Trueber, Lorraine Baker and Brenda Davies held a team meeting and quickly answered with a couple of fiery 3’s. ‘Twas even with one end to go and the golden shot was delivered by Team Brenda, 15–14. No jackpot won by rink 5 and it rises to $100. Chris and Kay were in the pink, claiming greenbacks from the white 100’s club board. Thank you to Irene A, Ann T and Valmai, for your generous raffle prize donations. They’re fabulous! Lucky winners Liz, Marja and Irene A. Congratulations to all the ladies present on Tuesday - $424 was raised for Can Assist. What an astonishing total! This Thursday, 1pm, come along to watch the Final of the Minor Singles. Lil Thomson versus Ann Tracy. Good game, ladies. Twilight bowls continues Friday evenings.
