Eudunda Bowls News 4th December 2023

The ladies travelled to Tanunda and competed very strongly with the home side, even though a result of 59-69 was realised. Joy Hams was trailing in a big margin early in the game, but fought back in her usual style to finish 17-23 to Sue Yates; likewise Ruth Scoot encountered tough opposition in Christina Doecke, but getting a five later in the game boosted the confidence which resulted in a four shot deficit 22-26, Doreen Twartz was three shots up going into the last end, but opposing skipper Judy Thompson hit the jack back to their three shots to secure a draw.
