Eudunda Bowls News 14th October 2023
Another windy and cold Thursday greeted the Tanunda ladies when they came to Eudunda. In difficult conditions Eudunda finished the morning successfully with a 69-51 win. Ruth Scoot and her team had an early lead against Judy Thompson and even though Tanunda pegged Eudunda back, Ruth still finished 22-14. Joy Hams found some stiff opposition in Sue Yates and although not scoring early, managed to recover well 15-23. Doreen Twartz’ lead Coral Schutz was not troubled with the windy conditions and bowled superbly, consequently Doreen’s team won 32-14. Following the game, the Eudunda ladies had a meeting to plan catering for Hazel Jenke’s funeral lunch on this Wednesday.
The windy weather did not affect the beautiful roses at the bowling club, so well cared for by gardener Pam Dutschke. Many favourable comments were expressed about the display of beautiful blooms.
Thursday Eudunda’s Division 1 played Angaston at Angaston and were challenged by the hosts, finishing 51-72. Bill Mader battled against David Jaunay, Greg Prior likewise against Mark Schutz, however the shining light was new skipper material Greg Post winning 26-8 against Brian Teakle.
Eudunda’s Division 2 played Nuriootpa Black on the home turf and won handsomely 64-39. Murray Sauer had a pearler of a day against Noel Hein 31-11, Jeff Willoughby finished well against Neil Jaensch 16-11, and Ron Milde after trailing for most the game drew 17 all against Bruce Kernich.
On Saturday Division 1 travelled to Kapunda and surprised the hosts with a 110-91 win. Tait Rogers had a fantastic win against Brett Rowland 31-15, Chris Jones was impressive against Sean Knight 32-23, Aaron Jones performed well in a thriller against Adrian Green 26-27, and Bill Mader picked up some valuable ends to close the gap on Marty Dew 21-26.
Division 3 played Freeling at Eudunda and blitzed their way to victory 82-32 with all teams up. Kiwi had a four- shot win against Teresa Krause, Ted Schiller bowled well to win 33-12 against D. Jamieson, and Ron Milde and his team bowled exceptionally well against Peter Flowers to win 32-7.
Division 4 received a forfeit from Freeling.
Team of the week was Ron Milde, Ruth Scoot, Joy Hams and Ron Hams with a magnificent 25-shot win.
