All Divisions on Saturday were winners for the second week in a row.
On Saturday Division 1 hosted Lyndoch and continued their winning streak defeating Lyndoch 83-63. Terry ‘Turtle’ Curtis had a great contest with Harry Sykes in the battle of the giants! Turtle was trailing 2-13 in the early stages, but pegged Harry back in an impressive comeback to finish 15-16. Aaron Jones bowled impeccably against Shane Marslen 19-17, Jimmy Mader continued to be dominant 26-17 against Shaun Mahoney, and Tait Rogers had a successful day against Darren Green 23-13.

McLennon by winning in fine form 24-9, while Ted Schiller had a tight contest against the irrepressible Judy Earl 19-23.
There were many comments and compliments about the beautiful roses which are tended by a dedicated Pam Dutschke at the bowling club.
Division 3 journeyed to Lyndoch and were met with some stiff opposition, but managed to clinch a win on the last bowl of the day 60-58! Pam Dutschke faced the good bowling of Sue Davis 13-30, Ron Hams and his team were sitting comfortably all day and finished 25-15 to Kathy Thomson, while Doreen and her team against Rex Vanstone, rallied after the break with a ‘six’ (it must have been due to the nice cake at afternoon tea), then on the last end (while the other teams were watching and waiting with bated breath), Doreen bowled ‘a pearler’ to win the match!
The Team of the Week was Rob Cavanagh, Murray Sauer, Hermann Kloss and Bob Leditschke, winning by an amazing fifteen shots!
After the games, a good number of club members enjoyed a sausage/hamburger patty barbecue for tea.
The next coaching session is on Tuesday 5th November at 4pm.
