Goodness me … it’s the first of March already. March marks the start of autumn – though it’ll be hot for awhile yet – and some of the clubs are well underway with their club championships.
It’s been a hot and sweaty week across most of the region as we all wait for a bit of rain.
Now that the holiday season is over, the action is starting to heat up in regional bowls.
My Saturday morning broadcast on Wild Horse FM 99.7’s Sportstime went out at its usual time this week, but my column is a little bit late due to technical gremlins. My apologies to all our regular readers.
The Australia Day long weekend was a big weekend for bowlers, with many getting some early practice for the club championships due to start in a couple of weeks.
Most areas received an inch or so of rain over the last week, which is good for the greens.
This is my first weekly bowls report for 2014 and I’d like to wish all my readers a Happy New Year.
This is my last column for 2013 – and what a year it’s been.
Christmas is in the air and lawn bowls is wrapping up another good year around the region. Here’s a run-down of what’s been happening this week.
There were quite a few anxious eyes on the weather all round the South Burnett last week.
There’s been plenty happening around the district this last week, as well some party times with many social bowlers not wanting to know their scores – and I don’t blame them.
Kingaroy have been finishing their year on a high note this week with their Mixed Open Fours Championship, which is now all but decided.
What’s been happening on the bowling greens around our part of South East Queensland over the last week?
Another big week in bowls. So let’s get to it:
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.
What a big day at Durong last Saturday!
What is happening in bowls this weekend? As it turns out, a heck of a lot!
Durong Bowls Club will be hosting a casual, fun-filled day of bowls next Saturday (October 19) as a fundraiser for breast cancer research.
Bowlers are going to be quite busy this weekend, with a bit of travelling involved.
