The weather in the South Burnett has been typically winter … cool mornings, blustery westerly winds and clear blue skies, all making for pleasant days on the bowling greens but with tricky playing conditions.
The Mayor’s Cup was the highlight of bowls on the Brisbane Exhibition Show Holiday in the Somerset Regional Council.
The annual Mayor’s Cup, sponsored by Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann, was played at Toogoolawah between Lowood, Kilcoy and Toogoolawah.
For the first time since entering the competition after the council amalgamation in 2008 Kilcoy came out winners.
Other Kilcoy highlights:
- The Kilcoy ladies Pennant teams drew with Glass House at Kilcoy on Tuesday but went down at Glass House the next day in very windy conditions.
- On Saturday – Men’s Pennants hosted Woodford and unfortunately went down on the day.
- Last Tuesday’s Star of the Green: Sharon Walker defeated Darrell Coffee and will play Val Wells on September 1.
- Social play on Tuesday: Winners of the day were Elayne Moat, Nelly Herbert and Noel Lanes who defeated Val Wells, Adam Kelly and Michael Dunn 22-11. Other Scores: Marg Worrall, Kelly Charters and Liz Frawley defeated Jeff Welden, Sharon Walker and Wendy Smith 12-11; Jenny Edwards, Brett Kelly, John Worrall and Fay Vicary defeated Trudi Pratt, Tracey Evans, Pauline Lawson and Terry Pratten 17-15.

Forty-eight players took to the green for a friendly game of bowls. The results were drawn in random from all players so it did not matter if you lost or won.
The highlight was when the visually impaired player’s team scored the maximum eight shots and her comments were: “Two of them were mine!”
