NARRE WARREN BOWLS
DIVISION 2 playing at home against Clayton in round 13 had a dismal day in Saturday with two rinks up and two down for a 28-shot loss 68-86.
The team is still holding on to third spot on the ladder but will need to show a big improvement in the coming weeks to stay in the fight for a finals birth.
Wilma Haringsma, Geoff Miller, Iain Stevenson, Ian Brotherton 11-35. Paul O’Day, Keith Mark, Wilma Stevenson, Jimmy Millar 10-29. Shirley Bell, Alan Dawson, Erik Luyters, Neville Bradley 26-10. Ernesto Vergara, Andy Kidd, Rod Lane, Jeff Parker 21-12.
Division 3 away at Glen Waverley were desperate for a win to avoid sliding down the ladder.
The side was once again disappointing in a very close game against the bottom side and went down by just two shots 71-73 with two rinks up and two down – but with other results in their favour the side is still hanging on one spot above the relegation zone.
Peter Lister, Carl Lapham, Eric Sydenham, John Heathcote 10-22. Luka Klarica, Peter Castricum, Kerry Davis, Norm Hosmer 16-26. Arthur Fitt, Janice Moran, Ray Pigdon, Reg Johnstone 24-13. Michael Graham, Fred Fox, Arthur Scheurer, Greg Cowan 21-12.
Division 7 travelled to Waverley Golf hoping to maintain the form they showed before the break and are up and running to start the second part of the season with a resounding win by 52 shots 100-48, with all rinks winning.
The team is still on top of the ladder with five games to play.
Margo Worsley, Reg Young, Ethel VanMaanen, Micki Horton 27-11. Len O’Brien, Steve Boyd, Mathew Fitt, John Green 27/12. Gail Bowman, Jim Sheahan, Rick Hoare, Brian Fraser 27/11. Glen Cadman, Janis Dukats, Graham Dodd, Damian Brick 28/14.
Division 8, playing their first game in six weeks due to walkovers and the Christmas break, hosted Noble Park – and with a new look about the team came out winners with a rink up and one down by six shots, a good performance with some novice bowlers in the side and performing well.
Travis Moore, Helen McCarthy, Jack Norman, Peter Pater 26-18. Phil Howard, Leo McGeary, Stan Birkett, Peter Rouse 16-18.
