Round 6 Premier division Click here to return to Pennant Scene
December
2, 2006.
A great round for the pennant competition with four upsets in round six.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the win of Morley against the giants of
the competition over the past 30 years. This would have to be the biggest
win in the history of the Morley Bowling club
If you told someone that you had selected Leeming
to beat Osborne Park you would have been told you were dreaming. Ossie Park
lack the spark and let a valuable point booster slip away.
Kalamunda only need one rink to knock over the Bedford Bulls. It was an important
win for the boys from way up on the hill. You could see the determination
of Kalamunda and after the game they were ecstatic about the win.
Quite clearly the Bulls have some thinking to do.
Cambridge change carpets and give Melville the magic carpet ride they didn't
expect with a very good win. The Magic disappears on the Cambridge carpet
for Melville.
The PowerHouse are reaping the reward of the non performing rinks of the
earlier rounds performing as they give the Wannerro Express their first
loss in 13 games.
The Express don't like to lose at any time but we think they can wear this
loss

This game was the first win of the season by Neil Payne and his rink and
we see they won 17 0f the 21 ends for the game. From what I was able to
see the Kalamunda boys were bowling very well with the leader F. Anderson
having his two yellow bowls sitting on the jack end after end to give
the side a great start.
Rick Eddy had a huge game according to the Bedford boys, but obviously
so did the rest of the players for Kalamunda.
They can take a great delight in destroying the Bulls with this outstanding
display of bowls and winning the game for their club
A lesson for the Bedford selectors. Barry Gartrell arrived back from Fiji
at 4.am on Saturday morning and hadn't had a bowl in his hand for two
weeks. However regardless of that, the side performed poorly and J/C himself
would not have won that game if he was the skipper.

Hunter, V.Colley------------18
Great game here with the score at 6/4 for
the Jones Boy on the 6th end then took control to lead 16/6 on the 15th
end.
From this end on things tightened up we have to take into
account that the aggregate was in the balance with both skippers were
playing well, The Jones Boy and Billy Brandsma were going bowl for bowl
and there was certainly some brilliant bowls delivered for their respective
sides
Vaughan Colley continues to impress with his leading while Cliff Graybrook
has a very good game as third for the Jones Boy.
Billy Brandsma is a great competitor and he sure looked the part as skipper.

This game was to far away to see anything much but our scorecard shows that
it was a tough game up to the 11th end with Pieter Harris leading 12/10. From
here on the side accelerated away to lead 21/10 on the 15th end then have withstand
a great fightback from Neale Griffin who won 5 of the last 6 ends.
The Skipper Pieter Harris had a huge game for the Bulls and was near his best
today.

(skip), S.Rushforth, M.Lemos, K.Burke---------------.--20
This was the game Sherro concentrated on and it was a good game even tho the
score was lopsided after seven ends had been completed at 12/1.
The Bedford leader
Kevin Burke was just in front of N. Bruce in the leading dual while Brett Tie
was playing some exceptionally good bowls for his side but the main player was
Stu Bainbridge who was in sensational form. Saving a five with a brilliant draw
shot on the first end.
From the eighth end onward Kalmunda started to fire with Brett Tie being the
man to help bridge the gap with good close and consistent bowls. During this
period of the game While Both thirds were not having much of an impact it was
Steve Rushforth who was winning the battle of the thirds against Glenn
Payne.
-----------------Brett Tie is riding this bowl from new skip Mitch Biglan
---------------------
-----L/R: Stu Bainbridge, Steve Rushforth, Brett Tie. Glenn Payne. Kevin Burke
Mitch
Biglan was doing well for a second game skipper
but was out bowled by a brilliant Stu Bainbridge who could do no wrong .
Bedford Skipped away with Kevin Burke well on top in the leading dual and Mel
Lemos coming into the game after having a quite first half.
The 16th end saw Bedford leading 19/10 and Brett Tie lose his touch with Steve
Rushforth lifting his rating with a fantastic finish to the game where he played
every bowl with magnificent touch. Stu Bainbridge also lost his earlier
touch while suddenly Mitch Biglan came to the party to keep Bedford from storming
away with a huge win. It was a most important time for him to play as well as
he did with the aggregate in the balance and for a second game skipper with
nine of his last 14 bowls putting a spanner in the works for Bedford.
The score 20/15 didnt really show that Stu Bainbridge's rink were a far better
side on the day but it did show that Kalmunda
kept plugging away with a never say die attitude along with some great work
from Mitch Biglan
Steve Rushforth was good in the first half and brilliant in the second half
and just got the nod ahead of Stu Bainbridge who was clearly
the best player at the halfway mark of the game.
Kevin Burke played very well leading and won his position comfortably.
I couldn't fit Mitch Biglan into the votes but he was most impressive toward
the end of the game with several telling bowls to hold out the Bulls
3. Steve Rushforth. 2. Stu Bainbridge. 1 Kevin Burke.

(2 ) WANNEROO ...................76/67
Good win here for the Powerhouse, our poll showed them to be clear favourites.
With Kyle McIlroy's rink coming good after a tardy start to the season and
Prickles Thorn and his boys continuing on with their recent good form has
taken the pressure of the rinks of the Kat and Robbie Ball who had down days
in this game.
The Wanneroo Express has seen their best two rinks go down again and it was
left to Nev Stevens and Stein Davies to carry the side again .
Probably there are no best rinks at Wanneroo they appear to about even to
me

LEEMING (6)
DEF OSBORNE PARK(2) .............
80/60
What a great win here for Leeming and in particular the rink of Danny Comrie
who had a giant win against Bill Galloway. I cant remember when Bill Galloway
suffered such a huge loss. However the Ossy Park boys were full of praise
for the game that Danny played, it was a ten out of ten.
Another big winner was the rink of Jeff Richards who have been battling
this season and now have two wins on the trot but the surprise is how comfortable
the wn was against John Goddards rink.
Gary Caffelll won again and it is no surprise when you look at the players
in the rink,
while Daniel Trewhella has now won two on the trot and just might be getting
the rink to play to its potential.

MORLEY(6) DEF COCKBURN
(2).........87/76
A surpise to see this result and what a turn around for Wayne Nielson who
only just three weeks ago recieved a flogging against Leeming. The win over
the new rink of Mike Zusman who had no answer to Wayne's rink and one has
to wonder what will happen at the selection table next week for Cockburn.
Probably Morley had their best two rinks play Cockburns two worst rinks
and visa versa for Cockburn.
Steve Srhoy and his rink have had a terrific season and won here with an
easy win over Robbie Urquhart while Russell Hughes's rink won by a small
margin against new skip Bruce Walter who replaced John Armstrong who was
unavailable for today game.

CAMBRIDGE (6) DEF MELVILLE
(2) ..........................89/71
Is this the real Cambridge where they were almost unbeatable on their carpet
last season. The change of greens or carpets seems it might be the answer
to their past problems.
Trystan Smallacombe has powered his rink back into what their true ability
really is, by giving the gun rink of John Sharp a good going over
while Ron Stockton has finally cracked it with a very good win over the highly
rated Cameron Girvan
Anthony Provost and his rink are hard to beat and even on the carpet it
didnt matter to them in beating a vastly improved performance by the Brian
Katunarich led rink.
Ron Stockton Cambridge (pictured) is over the hump and wins his first game
of the season with a sound win against Melville
