What a great game from all the players, this game was a bowling connoisseurs
delight, plenty of close bowls, plenty of conversions, all players contributed
to this
very very high standard game.
The leaders
had a great tussle with Bruce Urqhart
acting as a sub for the injured Jim Weir, Bruce won this over Rod Quinn 55/45
, it was terriffic leading by both players. Bruce showed why he is in the state
team.
The seconds
also had a battle royal with Stan Curtis
playing his best bowls when it mattered near the end, Ron Buegge was in it also
and played his part for his side ,won the middle stages over Stan.
The thirds
had control at different times, for the
first 3/4 of the game Brian Calthorpe certainly won his posititon over Jim Bauser
with many fine conversions when they were most needed. Jim wasn't at his best
for a long period of the game, presented himself more toward the 3/4 mark onward
and showed he is a state player in the making..
The skippers
played many fine bowls However Win Langdon
won his battle over Silky Wilkins, he was steady as the Rock of Gibralter in
every crisis, Silky wasnt disgraced at all with his game and also played some
classy
big bowls.
