Singles Championships Produce Top Games

May 3, 2015

by Jim Bond

A highlight of last week’s bowls line-up was the Burnett Ladies Singles championships, which were held at Nanango.

Monday and Tuesday were devoted to playing this calendar event right through, with the cream of the Burnett’s lady bowlers getting together to fight out the “A” and “B” singles.

The competitions were played over three games, with the winner the first to 21 points.

The semi-finalists were then determined by the number of games won and the combined margins.

After the first day’s play, the “A” singles semi-finalists were Helene Johnson, Charmaine MacLeod, Linda Cecil and Diane Reed.

The “B” singles semi-finalists were Amy Bellert, Maree Millard, Lindy Clutterbuck and Seline Druery.

The semi-finals were played on Tuesday with Charmaine MacLeod and Helene Johnson being successful in “A” grade, while Amy Bellert and Seline Druery were successful in “B” grade.

The “A” grade final was played at a keen pace and Johnson jumped to a big lead before MacLeod fought back to get the score to 14 to 8.

However Johnson maintained the pressure and eventually ran out the winner by 25 to 17.

In the “B” final, Druery started at a crackerjack pace and led 11 to 2 early. But 15 year old Bellert with a never say die attitude continued to work hard and got the score back to 19-17.

The game got even closer at one stage, with the score 24-all.

Needing only one point, Druery then placed a superb draw bowl to get the winning shot, coming out the victor by a very narrow 25-24.

Semi-Final “A”:

• Charmaine MacLeod def. Linda Cecil 25-23
• Helene Johnson def. Diane Reed 25-23

In the final, Helene Johnson defeated Charmaine McLeod 25-17

Semi-Final “B”:

• Amy Bellert def. Lindy Clutterbuck 25-11
• Seline Druery def. Maree Millard 25-11

In the final, Seline Druery narrowly defeated Amy Bellert 25-24

Yarraman News

The Yarraman Men’s A Grade Final was a real nail biter of a game, with Bill Holmes ultimately defeating Kev Profke 25-23.

Another couple of games of interest game for the gallery were the semi-finals of the Ladies Club Championship singles

Glenda Wolski defeated Lorri Holmes 25-20 and Robyn Diercke defeated Kay Dugdell by the same score.

An equally close game was the Ladies “B” Singles, where Eunice Smith defeated Alison Anderson 25-21.

Kilcoy 1 (Bill Edwards, Lester Bechly, Marg Worrall and Jenny Edwards) received the consolation prize.
