Weather conditions for today a little milder than the past few months; with no breeze plus sunny patches throughout the day. 18 teams plus 4 teams of pairs competed on both C & D synthetics.
Unfortunately, at the latter half of the first game a nasty incident occurred; Roland Lawton (one of our most senior players) whilst trying to navigate his walker up off the rink came to grief, falling. He received facial injuries and was unable to stand; Lee-Ann took matters into hand, along with the club’s first aid officers until the ambulance arrived.
Play on C green couldn’t continue for safety reasons and unfortunately, 22 players were unable to finish the second game.
Derek did an amazing job to re-arrange the program for the 40 remaining players.
Today’s winners & grinners:
1st game winners: Terry Bettens, Ray Bettens & Geoff Keynes on 27 points + 6 shots up.
2nd game winners: Paul Brown & Roger Atkins (pairs) on 26 points + 1 shot up.
2 game winners: Wayne Haskett, John Hart & Brenton Treverton on 53 points + 16 shots up.
2 game runner-up: Gary Swalling, Carol Daniels & Mick Schonfeldt on 53 points + 15 shots up.
Today’s Jackpot draw was withheld until next week, as players had left the club early after not resuming play on C green.
Many thanks to Wayne Mack for sponsoring the resting toucher voucher; Gary Wright collecting for the raffle, without “Braddels” many thanks.
