25.01.2022 Update from Warrnambool. The girls were beaten 13-18. A really good effort considering there opponents. No further details available at this stage.

22.01.2022 Round nine. The number one side welcomed second placed Moonee Ponds with the winner taking second spot. All rinks were fairly tight early but Wayne Byrnes rink slowly started to get on top and ran out a 25-11 winner. Ernie’s rink hung for a two shot win, Shane’s rink had a draw and Hugh’s rink went down by 8 shots. Final score 79-68 and 15 points and second spot. The second side made the short trip to Montmorency. Franks rink only went down 4 shots, Daniel by 6, Wayne by 10 a...nd Noel by 13. Always tough travelling to Monty especially this season. Big game next week against Greensborough at home. Final score 70-103. The third side played top side Templestowe away. Jim had a 4 shot win but the other sides struggled on there slow green. Nev lost by 6, Greg by 13 and Vincent by 14. Final score 69-98 and 2 points. The fourth side played Donvale a team they would have felt they could beat.

The fifth side were looking for there second win of the season against Montmorency. After slow start all sides eventually won.

20.01.2022 Happening right now. Paul lngle's Lightning Jazz band at the Bowling Club for Jazz by the Green. Full house as usual and great music.

18.01.2022 Another wonderful Christmas breakup. Plenty of laughs from Santa and her two elves. A another delicious two course dinner provided by Jan M.Jan T, Wendy, Elaine and Edna. Also special mention to Steven and Noel Spargo for running the bar.

16.01.2022 Men’s and Women’s over 60’s Pairs continue from last Monday week. At Greensborough with had Ernie and Eric as well as Frank and Peter. Ernie and Eric started the game 13-2 down but could not overcome the big margin and lost 21-7. Peter and Frank held a slender margin of 8-7 but that was quickly eroded away dropping 9 shots in two ends. The final score 22/9.... At Eltham we had Sue and Ros continuing their game locked at 6 all. Ros and Sue got into the game quickly and had a very solid win 16-9. Now for the semi final against a composite side who had steam rolled all their opponents. The game was close right up the last end with the score at 15-13 ours girls up by two. Their opponents managed to get two shots and take the game to a tiebreak. What an end, you had to be here appreciate the shot Ros played to win the game. She had a few old timers shaking there heads in disbelief but she picked up the jack and it put virtually impossible for the opposition to get near the jack. Well done to Sue and Ros you have done our club proud. The final will be played at Eltham on Wednesday 17th February not sure of the time at this stage.

16.01.2022 The draw was completed tonight for the Men’s Club Pairs Championship. The first round is due to be completed on or before the 10th of January. The draw as follows. Tim Smith and Wayne Wilson have a first round Bye. They will play the winners of Waddingham/ Chidley pairing up against Yarwood and Lee. Tough start for Jim and Bill up against Daryl last years winner and Shane this years singles runner up. Next game is between Byrne/Pawley playing Hickey/Blackwell. Interesting gam...e Paul and Brent having won a couple of seasons ago and Wayne and Nev who are always very competitive when playing together. They were part of last years winning Triples combination. Another interesting game Steve Spargo/Bruce Irvine up against a couple of younger members Gareth Toovey/Daniel Henery. Should be an interesting encounter. Hard to pick a winner. Both sides aiming for there first club pairs title. Next game is between the two H’s Hudson and Hosking taking on two of senior members Robertson and Toovey. Hugh and Peter won three seasons ago but David and Glen are both playing well this season and will be hard to beat. Eric Butcher and Frank Camera have a bye and will come up against the winners of the last game. The matchup between two of the clubs legends Richards and Spargo up against Bartolo and Stafford should be a cracker. Joe coming off winning his first club singles championship and Ron who is always competitive in these sort of events. Ernie and Noel have won this event on five occasions and were runners up last year. Wayne Harvey and Adam Ryan have a bye and will play the winners of this game. It is hard to pick a winner of the title at this stage but the Waddingham/Chidley combination will be hard to beat with both having won the title in the last two years. Good luck to everybody.
