An easy win for Brown



Craig Brown returned a winning score that was as good as any result in recent months in Warburton Bowls Club’s Wednesday 16 January competition.

His +10 easily won the day.

The runner-up, Andrew McMath had a +4, which was a good result itself.

Therefore, the ball rundown only extended to +1.

Nearest the pins went to President Hall on the third, CHB on the 10th and to Captain Cross, who just about owns the 15th!

Paul Kennedy won the Twilight contest this week, with 21 solid points.

But, he only just snuck-in as Steve Wyatt also had 21 but lost on a countback.

Balls got down to 17.

Nearest the pin winners were Clint Toohey on the first, Luke Patrick on the third and Grant Handasyde on the ninth.

In the Saturday 19 January stableford, the A-grade voucher went to Peter Bell with a healthy 39 points.

But, the best score on the day was accrued by Trevor Porter, with 41 impressive points to give him the B-grade voucher.

The daily runner-up was Kempton Senior, ironically with the second-best score on the day of 40 points.

Players who scored 36+ can claim a ball.

The nearest the pins were won by Jason ‘Kenno’ Kennedy on the third, his dad PK on the fifth, Paul ‘Snorcs’ Long on the ninth, Dave Murch on the 12th and to Snorcs again on the 15th.
