AT BRUNSWICK Heads on Tuesday, and icy morning followed by blazing sunshine resulted in very fast greens for the their Open Pairs Final.

Club spokeswoman Emma Scattergood said these conditions “resulted in incredibly fast greens.”

“A very enjoyable challenge,” she said.

Meanwhile, other clubs have reported having to rug up against chilly breezes in order to play the game they love.

This put them off? Of course not.

CHERRY ST SANDFLIES

It seemed like last Sunda’s weather continued through with the Westerly hitting 48 kmh and gusting to 61 kmh at midday. Nearly straight down the middle was the call in most cases with the narrow Areo’s and the windward side was like the old Dunlop’s sort of green. Didn’t matter as all are in the same boat so you have to take it but we had to check on Little Joe and make sure he didn’t get blown away. Poor old uncle Fester was thrown in the deep end as Bowls Organiser for the first time and with the office phone out of order and some of the boys trying to ring in to get a game or cancel because the wife wouldn’t let them out of bed made for some interesting language, but he did the job so Lizard would have been proud of him.

Winners on the day Paul Buckingham, Tarts and Johnny Fullerstuff getting up against the pretty hot team of Sharky, They Call me Bruce and Kenny Arthur 18 to 14.

Runners up were John Dennis, Peter Connick and Col Siviour having a nice little touch up by new member Gary Devlin, Knackers and Johnny Harley 21 to 7.

Gary will be one of the champions at Cherry Street after some coaching and a great bloke to go with it.

Next week is a home game and Uncle Festers ‘Little Brown Jug’ 3 Bowl Pairs coming up on the 6th of September and all names drawn out of the hat with that one so you cant get any fairer then that.

Many thanks to the staff at Ballina’s Premier and only Bowling Club for their excellent and friendly service and that ‘nothing is to hard’ attitude which you find every day at that club.
