Brrrrr!!! It has been cold lately, hasn’t it? And it’s hard to play bowls with Ugg Boots on.<\/p>\n

The cold weather – particularly the wind – affected player attendances at all the region’s greens this week. <\/p>\n

In fact, on Friday in Yarraman, Scroungers was cancelled and only five brave souls turned up for the members’ draw. <\/p>\n

Anyway, Kingaroy leads this week’s bleak winter bulletin:<\/p>\n

Kingaroy News<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a great Winter Carnival in Kingaroy last weekend, the club returned to its normal bowls program of games on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And with frost on the ground, the speed of the greens was noticeably quicker.<\/p>\n

Club numbers were down for the normally popular pairs comp on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

There were only a couple of rinks in action:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Darcy Munro and Geoff Clutterbuck def. Alan Rogerson and Bob Robinson 16-7\n
  • Alex Callender and Kev Raffin 16 def. Bob Andrea and Alan Irwin 16-7\n<\/ul>\n

    A triples and fours competition sponsored by Lady President Diane Reed on Wednesday was better supported. <\/p>\n

    Twenty-four players were on hand to take part in the fun day, with the winners determined by the highest winning margin.<\/p>\n

    The winners were Barry O’Brien, Greg Schulz, Richie Patterson and Val Jeppesen with a margin of 18.<\/p>\n

    Full results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Barry O’Brien, Greg Schulz, Richie Patterson and Val Jeppesen def. Gladys Slatter, Dave Clapperton, Jim McCallum and Diane Reed 29-11\n
    • Bob Bougoure, Annette O’Brien and Beryl Woods def. Bess Thorp, Bruce Johnston and Maureen Semgreen 22-11\n
    • June Olsson, Paul Marychurch and Maureen Kemp def. John Lacey, Ray Maclaren and Glen Yeates 26-17\n<\/ul>\n

      On Thursday, thirty-two players got together for the monthly visit from members of the Nanango Bowls Club. <\/p>\n

      Pairs and Triples were the games format for the day, and the winners were determined by six points for a win plus a point for each end won. <\/p>\n

      With each team comprising players from both clubs, it made for an interesting day!<\/p>\n

      The ultimate winners were Lou Saunders, John Lacey and Ray Maclaren on 21 points.<\/p>\n

      Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Henry Bliesner and Col Kratzmann def. Geoff Clutterbuck and Bruce Jonston 19-18\n
      • Felipe Munoz and Gladys Slatter def. Lyle Dascombe and Barry O’Brien 20-17\n
      • Darcy Munro, Brian Havell and Ross Olsson def. Evelyn Jensen, Bob Bougoure and Glen Yeates 23-21\n
      • Lindy Clutterbuck, Bob Hall and Beryl Woods def. Keith Muller, Bob Hammond and Hugh Harrison 25-14\n
      • Trevor George, Paul Marychurch and John Coppard def. Col McBride, Sue Tucker and Athol Jensen 27-11\n
      • Lou Saunders, John Lacey and Ray Maclaren def. Fred Keding, Jim McCallum and Alan Irwin 23-8\n<\/ul>\n

        Yarraman News<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        It was Ladies Day on Wednesday, with conditions of play the closest margin, with runner-up the lowest score.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Winners were Glenda Wolski, Alison Anderson and Arthur Smith who defeated John Moore, Di Currell and Margaret Willoughby 18-15.<\/p>\n

        Other scores: <\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Kev Profke, Ivy Wrembeck and Wayne Emms def. Brian Dugdell, Jenny Moore and Eunice Smith 20-11\n
        • Robyn Diercke, Bev Profke and Lola Harper def. Nev Lawrence, Kay Dugdell and Yvonne Schultz 16-14\n<\/ul>\n

          Yarraman will be represented in Burnett District Ladies Champion of Champion matches at Tansey this week. <\/p>\n

          On Tuesday Helene Johnson, Bev Profke, Di Currell and Robyn Diercke will compete in the Champion of Champion Fours. <\/p>\n

          On Wednesday, Helene Johnson and Daphne Stewart will compete in the Pairs, with Robyn Diercke the Yarraman nominee in the singles.<\/p>\n

          Good luck girls!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

          Nanango News<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Last Friday, in Scroungers, Ken Stieger topped the scoreboard with 40pts. Next best was Lew Saunders on 31pts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          In the weekly social on Tuesday. Bob Hammond, Lew Saunders, Cec Bracken and Jim Fowler defeated Bob Hall, Sue Tucker and Henry Bliesner 29-18. <\/p>\n

          The match of interest that day was the final of the Men’s B Grade Singles Championship.<\/p>\n

          Trying to win both the A Grade and B Grade Singles in the same year proved too difficult for Lew Saunders. <\/p>\n

          On the 17th end the score was 14-all, but Lew’s opponent Trevor George surged away after that to win 25-19. <\/p>\n

          On Wednesday, in the Ladies Social, a score of interest was Sue Tucker, Dot Hall and Sylvia Fanning’s defeat of Sue Tucker, Di McNeilage and Evelyn Jensen 24-7.<\/p>\n
