Another amazing week of results at the Norfolk Island Bowling Club with the commencement of the Ladies and the Men’s Club Fours Championships for the year. With the greens now appearing to go dormant a little with the cooler weather that we are experiencing, the speed of the greens has picked up and the surface finish has come back well after the renovations earlier this year. But that bloody wind is still there to challenge people.

Last Saturday, the Men’s opened their program with 6 teams entered and the match Committee deciding that a straight knock-out would be played, with this, two teams had the bye for the week but the results of the other two games played were: the team of Peter Walkinshaw,  Spider Webb, Jeff Pledger & Mark Carroll were always in control of this game against Culla Graham, Barry Wilson, Trev Gow and Moochie Christian by defeating them 21-11; in the other game played the team of Brent Pauling, Wes Cooper, Gary Bigg & Peter Glass played a very consistent game to defeat Ryan Dixon, Matt Bigg, Haydn Evans & Dave Magri 22-18. The semi-finals will be played today at 1pm.

The social games played on Saturday, the game results were: Mick Godfrey, Tim Sheridan, Vivian Bigg & Jan Williams defeated Stephen Mathews, Kate Smith, Brent Johnstone & John (visitor) 19-16; and Phil Jones, Graeme Woolley, & Marg Buffett defeated Ester Sanchez, Barry Jones & Kitha Bailey 32-8.

On Sunday last, the Mixed Fours Championships commenced and it was great to see that the Club had 4 juniors amongst the teams played.  The results were: Ryan Dixon, Brent Pauling, Chrissie Pauling & Ellie Dixon defeated Phil Jones, Petal Jones, Maycee Deszacsar & Mark Carroll 24-11; the team of Wendy Nagy, John Nagy, Gary Bigg & Brent Johnstone defeated Jeff Pledger, Trev Gow, Dave Magri & Tracey Wora 18-16; Tim Sheridan, Shae Wilson, Jonny Sheridan & Moochie Christian defeated Kate Smith, Marg O’Brien, Barry Jones & Graeme Woolley 24-20 with Kate’s side trailing 19-4 early but to their good play got the score back to 19-18 before Tim’s side were lucky in picking up 4 shots to lead by 5 with 3 ends to play and managed to hang on for the win.; in the final game played Peter Walkinshaw, Ester Sanchez, Liz Walkinshaw & Barry Wilson defeated Culla Graham, Stephen Mathews, Tess Evans & Peter Glass 29-20, after being down 17-3 after only 9 ends, so a very good come back from Pete’s team as well for the win, but then again an 8 shot end will always bring a team back into the game. Poor Culla, two losses in two days, they say that he’s going back gardening.

Last Wednesday the Ladies commenced their Fours Championship but with only 4 teams entered their Match Committee decided to hold a round-robin and the results of the first round are: the team of Petal Jones, Ester Sanchez, Chrissie Pauling & Shae Wilson defeated Ann Snell, Jackie Ryan, Jan Williams & Ling Glass 34-9; and Tess Evans, Marie Hodgetts, Marg Buffett & Tracey Wora defeated Marg O’Brien, Kate Smith, Maycee Deszacsar & Wendy Nagy in a very good game 20-18. The next round will be played next Wednesday.

In the social games played the results were: Haydn Evans, Peter Glass & Brent Johnstone defeated Stephen Mathews, Graeme Woolley & Ester Trickey 24-10; and Mick Godfrey & Norm Trickey defeated Neil McWaters & Kitha Bailey 25-7.

Bowls today will have the semi-finals of the men’s fours championships being played with the teams of Brent Pauling Vs Tim Sheridan, and Pete Walkinshaw Vs Neil McWaters.

Tomorrow Sunday, the semi-finals of the mixed fours will be played with the games between Tim Sheridan Vs Ryan Dixon, and Wendy Nagy Vs Pete Walkinshaw.
