Jamberoo Wins the Zone Pennant for 2022!

Round Robin Match 1 at Windang BC against Wiseman’s Park on 16 Oct.

A tentative but steady start on a hot and breezy green saw the teams even on 12 shots after 12 ends.  Consecutive scores of 4, 2, 6 then 3, saw Jamberoo skip away to a 27 to 12 lead.

Wiseman’s Park was not in the race thereafter with Jamberoo racing away by 71 to 51 shots (38 to 25 ends), overall a 10-0 points win.

Team members on this occasion were Mad Dog, Tez, Mick S, & Baz; Razor, Murt, Cloughie, & Reg; Hobo, Willo, Skinny, & BAM.

Match at Windang BC against Dapto Citizens on 23 Oct.

 The match commenced in light rain which steadily increased. With water pooling on the pitch, play was suspended after just 5 ends for over an hour with Dapto leading 20 to 11.

During the rain delay entertainment was provided by an impromptu circus performance ad-libbed by Zone officials but heavily influenced by the creative advice offered by various team managers, skippers, players, spectators, and in some cases a Bowls Secretary or two.

After the eventual resumption of play Jamberoo stepped up a gear, levelling the scores at 31 a piece after 33 ends.  Barry Wray’s side won fourteen consecutive ends after the break to win 27 to 9, with great leading from Mad Dog Lewis.  Brian Moore strategically skippered his team’s bowl placements to minimise risk of a blowout on any one end, taking ten consecutive ends to finish 25 to 8 winners. Reggie’s side had a tougher draw but was able to stay in touch to enable Jamberoo to secure a 66 to 41 win on the all-important big board, 40 ends to 23, a 9-1 points win.

Teams were the same as the previous week except Ding subbed in for Mick S.

Well done lads! Next stop the State Champs which will be held just South of the Lake’s Entrance, at Warilla B&RC on Nov 18-20th.
