Pam Dutschke made a great comeback to finish 17-15 against Liz Love, Ruth Scoot also came from behind with an excellent result 19-15 against Dot Holt, and Doreen Twartz showed some magnificent passages of play to finish 24-11 against Michelle Law.

Division 1 played Angaston at Eudunda and after the downpour of rain, the green drained quickly so that play could begin. It was a payback after Eudunda’s win against Angaston in the first round, with Eudunda conceding defeat this time 65-81. Terry ‘Turtle’ Curtis was the shining light with a gutsy win 21-14 over Ian Elsworthy, Aaron Jones had a cliff-hanger against David Jaunay 21-24, Jimmy Mader met his match and more against Matt Short 13-25, and Tait Rogers in a tight low-scoring encounter scored 10 against the destructible Justin Morris 18 shots.

Division 3 played at a comparatively- dry weather Tanunda, and suffered their second loss for the season 49-68. Ruth Scoot played in a team of three, compromising the chances, however finished well against Kevin Renshaw 15-23, Pam Dutschke had a battle against Brian Hoklas 11-29, while Doreen Twartz played a great match against David Armstong 23-16.

The Team of the Week was Thursday’s Doreen Twartz, Judy Milde, Marg Nietschke and Coral Schutz.

Back at the clubhouse there was a tea of Bratwurst sausage and sauerkraut on a bread roll and icecream for dessert. All appreciated the meal, then President Mally Schutz paid a tribute to George Mitev for his years of very good bowling at Eudunda, all sang ‘For he’s a jolly good fellow’ and a photo was taken of George with all his bowling friends. George commented that he loves the club, and has been a loyal supporter over the years.
