Last Thursday and Friday kicked off the Annual Prelude Carnival with the pairs. In fabulous weather and the greens running well it was the locals who prevailed with brothers Phil A and Graeme Morris taking the prize money.
George Jackson and Juicy were up there with two visitors, one from St Mary’s and the other from Lithgow City. They split the place money between them.
It was a profitable weekend for the Morris boys finishing in second place in the Prelude Fours with Robert Dykes and Terry Burley both from Kempsey well known to bowlers from the Ridge.
The winners were Kelly Anderson and his team of Brownie, Madeline and Peter Williams winning six games out of six. The good purse on offer was supplemented by a free entry into the prestigious Black Opal Classic.
There were five teams playing the yard stick for the minor places. They were the Morris boys, Alan Tighe, Nathan Woodcock, Rex Skuthorpe and their teams and local hopes Toby and Chris Egan and Ann and Ian Barclay.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Young Shannon Tighe, almost 16, has once again been part of the inter-zone junior seven-a-side. Shannon, playing in the pairs, won for the second year running and the team overall has proved superior to all opposition winning the event for the last five out of six years. Another gold medal for the trophy cabinet Shannon. Well done. We are all very proud of you.
Until next week good bowling everybody.
