Wanneroo (7 ) beatBedford (1) ..........91/
63..
A telling victory to the Wanneroo Express as they defeat Bedford easily.
Bedford were disappointing today against a committed Wanneroo Express who
were impressive in their win.
I guess it is back to the drawing board for Bedford and they will have to
reassess their playing list.

This was a hard game for both sides who are a couple
of the best going around in the competition. It was a high standard game with
all players contributing to the contest. Peter Hunter was leading very well
as was Derrick Griffen with little between the two. It was nip and tuck to
be 11/12 14th end and it was a great contest. Both skips were hard at it and
playing very well however things did change from this end on and it was Stein
Davies who got the upper hand with a touch of luck and some terrific bowls.
They scooted away to win in a very good standard game

What a sensational game of bowls. Reg and his boys got away to a fantastic
start with each player for Reg doing the job and of course Reg played some
magic bowls when he was down, in fact he rarely played a bad bowl. John Carlsen
was leading very well but it made no difference to Wanneroo as they built
up a lead of 14/2 winning 8 of the first 10 ends and saying catch us if you
can, man.
From here on things got better for Pieter Harris who had played some very
big bowls to keep the scoreline getting out of hand. Inch by inch they clawed
their way back as Reg Missed what he was getting earlier in the game. Then
suddenly a big 6 on the on the 18th end saw Pieter hit the front and lead
19/16 and then win 20/19

G. Ellis {skip},Ron Bates, T. Alden,

S.Bainbridge {skip}, J. Trewhella, K.
Collins, M. Trewhella-...--15
WOW!!! What a fantastic game of bowls, Geoff Ellis was superb,
Ron Bates brilliant, Ted Alden solid, S. Wright solid. These boys bowled
out of this world, when the heads were tight they found the room to still
pile them on the jack. Draw power was the name of the game for the rink and
they careered away to lead 16/2 on the 10th end and as they looked at the
rink along side of them they saw Greg Humphryson leading 14/2. What a pleasant
sight and they kept on keeping on to lead 23/6 on the 15th end. The front
end for bedford was battling on and was probably 40/60.
The Bedford backend just could not cope with the constant pressure applied
by Ron Bates and Geoff Ellis, both players has terrific weight control and
never threw their bowls away with badly weighted shots as did Bedford on
occasions
It was a brilliant display of weight control and skill from Geoff Ellis and
his boys.

Barry Gartrell {skip}, N.Minchin. M. Lemos, K. Collins ---.-------.15
Barry Gatrell's rink got away to a very good start
with Keith Manton leading very well and making it
easy for the rink. It was a high standard game and the scores at 11/5 didn't
reflect how good Clive's team was also playing. Disaster struck for Bedford
when they were two down on the 12th end and a wayward drive from Barry Gartrell
saw him go down 7 shots and surrender the hard fought lead. from here on
it was the Wanneroo Wizard who played many, many big bowls and was playing
close the best he can.
Clive and his boys at 14/14 on the 14th end just played better and better
as the game wore on winning 9 of the last ten ends,

Cockburn were far to good for Cambridge in the second semi-final winning
8/0 and appear to have a strangle hold on the premierhip trophy
Steve Srhoy's rink lead the way with a massive win over John Rainoldi's rink
who were down 21/6 at one stage of the game
R. Hughes (skip) S. Cerff, A. Petchell, D. Penman---------.-----19
B. Katunarich (skip) M.McGann, G. Kane,
W. Maher ...............12
Russell Hughes jumped off a plane after competing in the Australian open
and made the adjustment of different green speeds to play a major role in
the defeat of Brian Katunarich's rink. The game was a game of one per end
on most occasiions and the main break came when Russell Hughes scores a
5 and that was the difference in the game.
G. Carberry (skip) P. Sardelic, J. Galipo, J. Beswick------------17
T Smallacombe (skip),S. Edmonds , N.Lewis,B. Kiely...............11
Gary Carberry had a huge task having to take on
the top rink at Cambridge The game was a game of one per end on most occasions
and the main break came when Gary Carberry scored a 5 on the 13th end to
lead 13/7 and that was the difference in the game. They kept on winning the
ends one shot at a time and the game slipped away from Trystan Smallacombe
and his boys.
D. Brown (skip), M. Zusman, J. Ravilich, P. Novak-------------29
R. Stockton (skip), C. Lander, T. Walsh. H. Christensen.........20
A very hard fought affair with Ron Stockton leading 9/3 at the 8th end and looking
good. On the 13th end he was leading 17/11. From here there was quite a change
when they dropped a six to be 17/17 and that was the end for them as Daneol Brown's
rink scored 29/20 for the remainder of the game
