Good Afternoon Everyone,

Round 3 of Pennants concluded on Saturday, which means we are 30% of the way through the season already.

Two games at home with the 3’s taking on Grandviews and coming away with a 60 to 56 and a 9 – 1 big board win. Craig Scott’s rink (David Cox, Jasen Dawson and James Warburton) again dominated with a 26 to 17 result. Special mention to Bobby Bartlett’s rink (Ant Wiles, Clint Wilkins & Gary Slavin) who secured a 19 – 18 win in an arm wrestle of a game.

The 6’s had a day to forget going down 50 – 57 against Engadine. The only standout was Alistair Daley’s rink (Dean Hodges, Ross Robson and Ross Emanuel) who after dropping a 6 on end 6, held their nerve and won 11 of the next 15 ends! Overall, 1 – 9 on the big board, which was a disappointing result after last week’s effort. Across the whole squad, we were too slow at the start, which meant playing catch up all day.

The 7’s were away at Hillsdale playing on their synthetic surface. They surprised everyone, including themselves, with an 83 – 44 (9 – 1) big board win. Max Galvin’s rink (Micky Webb, John Collins and Lynne Allen) walked on water with a 40 – 11 outcome PLUS they scored 16 in their last 5 ends earning them the jack pot prize of $200 thanks to ‘Wicky’s last 5 ends’ sponsorship.

Thanks to our supporters – we still need more – who rode the 3’s home including a roar that was heard at Southgate when Jimmy Warburton drew a cracker of a shot at a critical part of the game.

To our team managers – Rex Cowan, Jann Hancock and Marg Daley many thanks – you make a big day easy to manage.

Sandwich ladies – Bev and Marg – well done again.

Our green keepers, Jacob and Shooey – great work in preparing the green following all the rain on Thursday.

"Nostradamus” Shooey predicted it would rain at 6.00am and stop at 6.15am on Saturday morning, which it did!! If you ever give up green keeping mate, pull out the little black number and get on to the weather channel. Unbelievable forecasting!!!

In summary – all Sylvania sides have won 2 games each. We need to keep this momentum going over the next 3 weeks.

Teams/individuals need to work hard, think about their shots, commit to roll ups/training (weather permitting) and stay positive and encouraging – especially skips.

Afternoon Bowlers.

Round 2 of the Pennants season was held yesterday with the Club securing 2 hard fought wins and one loss on the big boards.

The 3s took on Engadine at home and it was a powerful performance by Craig Scott’s team of Shaun Dooley, James Warburton and Jasen Dawson with a 28 to 13 win that secured the big board 57 to 54.

The 7’s also played at home and faced Moorefield, who jumped out of the blocks and ended up winning 61 to 48 and securing a 9 – 1 big board win. Special mention to the team of John French, Bill Teasdale ,Mike Newton and Keith Howell. They were behind by 3 with 2 ends to play and scored 6 to secure a 20 to 17 win over the opposition. Well done boys.

The 6’s headed to Moorefields and were greeted by a green running at 18 to 19 seconds – very, very slick! Moorefields are hard to beat anytime, let alone at home and on a quick green, however the 6’s squad lifted, encouraged each other, gave away minimal shots and after 4 hours of play came away winners on the big board 49 to 42. Gary Allen’s team of Viti, Grant and Macca were again the standout winning their rink 17 to 9 achieving an 80% success rate over the last 5 ends. That’s how you secure big board wins!!

A shout out of thanks to the 6’s Team Manager, Jann Hancock – who wore her “managerial shoes” and kept the troops in line and focused on their game.

Also, thanks to Bev and Heather for making the sandwiches back at Sylvania, Huckey for managing the 7’s and looking after the money, and our fabulous green keepers Jacob and Shooey for their work.

Next week sees the 3’s and 6’s at home with the 7’s travelling to Hillsdale to play on their artificial green. Arrive there early all 7’s players and get a good pre game roll up on an unfamiliar surface; you will find it different from Caringbah.
