OUR rescheduled new year’s tournament was held on Monday night and was a great success with 72 bowlers playing in perfect weather conditions.

Clubs represented were Racecourse, Murray Downs, Tooleybuc, Moe, Kerang and Lake Boga while the Thompsett family, a team of new bowlers, were also made welcome.

The winners were Frank Jacka from Swan Hill, D.J. Weaver from Racecourse and Danny Mitchell from Moe, with runners-up Graeme Clark from Swan Hill, Bill King from Swan Hill and Ernie Russell from Racecourse.

Third went to Neil Brown Dawn Holland and Cath Parry who were all from Murray Downs, the lucky cards – lead Noel Delmenico, second Kerang player, and skip Alex Smith.

A delicious supper was served at the finish of play with a big thank-you to all who attended.

Friday Frolic will be on today with names needing to be in by 2:30pm for a 3pm start. Come along and enjoy our beautiful greens, sharing snacks and social drinks with your bowling friends after play.
