Tuesday 20 May 2025: Ladies day
What an exciting day we had out on the green today, social triples and not one but three games in the Ladies B grade Singles Championship.
In order of when the game finished –
Game one:
Marilyn Mullins had a hard fought win over Judy Stanley.
The score on this game didn’t reflect the high standard of play!
Game two:
Lesley Christensen had a equally hard fought game over Barb Clarke.
Barb, playing in her first ever singles match, played an amazing game!
Game three:
Anne Sleep had a win over Raels Cahill.
Again a great game played over 26 ends!
Special thanks to Marjo Greiner who stood as Umpire for the day.
Also Gail Lenz, Robyn Bishop and Gloria Newby who all gave up their afternoon of bowls to mark our games. Many thanks Ladies!
