October has arrived, named ‘octo’ as it was the 8th month of the roman calendar. On Tuesday, 20 ladies were dressed to the nines at the Parkes Bowling Club ready to give their two cents worth!
Two matches of Club Minor Singles were scheduled. On Rink 3, Lorraine Baker put paid to the hopes of Kay Craft, scoring on the majority of ends.
Rink 4 hosted a much closer match between Heather Harvey and Maria Willcockson. As the score see-sawed, the girls gave it their all. Heather was on cloud nine after 25 ends, winning 25 – 22.
The final of the Minor Singles between Heather and Lorraine will be played on 18th October.
Social matches saw Vi West/Chris Curteis/Elaine Miller enjoy 15 minutes of fame with their narrow win over Julie Green/Merilyn Rodgers/Rose Mitchell on Rink 2. High fives all round for Lea Orr/Frances Charlton/Gwenda Carty/Brenda Davies with a sound victory over Carol Reed/Maureen Baillie/Maureen Miller.
Pocket money was claimed by Heather and Marja (card draw), and Merilyn, Rhona and Brenda (100’s club) while lucky Carol won the lucky door.
Next week, all our good luck wishes go to our Grade 3 Pennants team as they contest the Regional Play-offs in Mudgee! Anyone may enter the District Singles to be played on 8/9 November. Check the board for details.
