What a great weekend we have just had!
The Kilcoy Men’s Two Day Men’s Carnival had 16 teams. So did Rosebowl at Nanango. And the Gayndah Men’s Fours missed out by two points on making the final of the State Champion of Club Champions title at Broadbeach.
But they did well – two wins out of three rounds.
So let’s talk about Gayndah first:
The mens fours put up a great effort at the State tournament at Broadbeach.
The team – Alex McColm, Kevin Putney, Alan Cooper, and Ashley Harris – convincingly won two rounds but lost the third by two points to the eventual winners, Wynnum-Manly.
Well done boys!

On Sunday, Kingaroy held Triples and Fours – a tournament sponsored by Dianne Reed and Val Jepperson.
Thirty players competed and the winners were decided by the largest winning margin, while the runners up were decided by the smallest winning margin.
The winners were Fred Keding, Sharon Yeates and Kev Raffin who defeated Jim Czislowski, Norma Rook and Maureen Kemp in their big margin win.
.
The runners up were Evelyn Taylor, Alan Rogerson, Alan Irwin and Dave Barwick with a margin of one.
The encouragement award went to Robbie Johnson, Gladys Slatter, Paul Marychurch and Beryl Woods.
On Thursday in Pairs and Triples, winners were determined by 6 points for a win and 1 point for each end won.
- The winners were Vince Plenzich, Ben Pratap, Paul Marychurch 21 points.
- The runners up were Harry Read, Geoff Clutterbuck, Ray Maclaren 18 points
Quite a run down from there.
A week ago Toogoolawah took part in their own District Champion of Champions.
They won at Rosewood on Saturday but met their destiny when they played Rosewood the following day at RAAF Amberley, going down by 30 to 8. The Toogoolawah team were Tyrone Richter, Harvey Hill, Dallas Richter and Ross Tinney.
The Emergency Services Shield is held annually in memory of Toogoolawah’s late Sergeant Nev Allen-Ankins, and it was finalized last week
The Ambulance will hang the shield on their wall this year.
The final score? Ambulance 4, Fire Brigade 3 and Police 2.
Good roll-up on Thursday for night for social bowls over 18 ends.
Dougie Bitossi, Lenny Smyth and Macca were the winners, while Cranky Faulkner, Aileen Byrne and Paul Wlazly came in runners-up.
The first round of the Mens 4s championships will be played today: Clayton Foster, Jim Sowden, Mick Karramen and Paul Wlazly will play Tyrone Richter, Harvey Hill, Dallas Richter and Ross Tinney.
The Grand Final mixed pairs championships will be played next Thursday at midday, when Lilian Pfreimbtner and Jim Sowden will meet Marion Deane and Tyrone Richter in a match certain to attract a gallery.
Two big wins were scored at Yarraman Ladies social bowls on Wednesday:
- Jenny Moore, Alison Anderson and John Moore 24 def Kay Dugdell, Yvonne Schultz and Di Currell 6
- and in another game, soon-to-be-a-92 year old Elaine Elliott teamed with Robyn Diercke and Brian Dugdell to down Eunice Smith, Rita Young and Neil Currell 20 – 7.
Opposing lead Eunice described the veteran Elaine as the Iron Lady.
Eunice told her colleagues “Every time I sent a good bowl down she would take me out.”
Thursday night bowls is also continuing to prove very popular, with conditions one for an end two for a win.
Who won??? Brian Dugdell and Ron Tysoe.
They defeated Kev Profke and Kerry Walsh 28-4 which gave them 19 points. Some smart bowling there.
