Eudunda Bowls News

The Night Bowlers played their last game of the minor round before finals start this week (tonight). All teams are playing tonight for the first final. The Robbie Rebels are the minor round leaders. The meal voucher was won by Carolyn Doering and the bottle of wine, Maurice Nietschke.

What a final! The Ladies first final against Angaston was a squash buckling finish as never seen before! After the last end Eudunda and Angaston were drawn, so an extra end was played by each of the three rinks; two of the rinks had a two shots up/two shots down result; all eyes were on the umpire when called to the third rink for a very close measure which was declared equal, so drawn again! A further extra end was played in which Angaston emerged the winner by two shots! Result Eudunda 58, Angaston 60, which ended Eudunda’s finals’ aspirations. The Judy Milde/Judy Argent match 24-16, Pat Obst/Eileen Argent 20-17 and Joy Hams/Mavis Elsworthy 14/27. The Eudunda Ladies invited the Angaston Ladies for lunch at the Light Hotel, where a great atmosphere pervaded, continuing on from the game which was played in good spirit.
