RACECOURSE
Well done to D.J. Weaver (Racecourse) and Josh Thornton (Murray Downs) who played in the semi-final of the Para Physical State Pairs at Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club on ANZAC Day. The result was not known at the time of print, but they have done well to make it this far, and any further advances will be a bonus.
Racecourse social bowls on Wednesday was won by Graeme Bennett, Mary Hooper and Kevin Saville, with two wins and +23 shots, while finishing in second place was Glenn McIntosh, Kerry Jenkins and Phil Parry with one win and +16 shots.
Congratulations to Mick Holyoak, Glenn McIntosh and Graeme Bennett on their second place at the Lake Boga Catalina Classic last weekend, and to Norm Smith, Ron Wolfe, Glenn Bailey and Kylie Bailey on winning Diggers Day at Balranald.
The ladies meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 1, at 10am, with everyone asked to please bring a plate to share for morning tea after the meeting.
