Gough Drawn Pairs
The Men’s (Gough) Drawn Pairs were played on Wednesday March 15.
It was another perfect evening for bowling. Teams were drawn to play three games of eight ends with the evening finishing with a meal prepared and served by the lady members. The overall winners on the night were John Grant and Barry Marsh.
Grant Mixed Three Bowl Pairs
A full field of 18 teams competed in the Annual Grant Mixed Pairs last Saturday, March 18. The gusty wind and the heat provided a challenge for the bowlers who all competed in great spirit; playing three games of eight ends with three bowls amid much laughter and showed some surprising competition. This day is proudly supported by the Grant family in memory of Charlie and Freda Grant, founding members and long time bowlers at the Harcourt Bowling Club. The winning team was Phil Clarke and Judy Ewing, with Diane and Barry Marsh finishing second.
