Men's Pennant Season update

27/3/2018

0 Comments

 
​This year's men's pennant season is a little over a month away and the club has been approved to play 4 teams - Grade 2, 4, 6 and 7.   The initial game will commence on Sat 28th April and the season will go through until Sat 14th July, with no scheduled games on the 9th and 16th June.   Playoff rounds will follow but please note that, due to the late end April starting date, all games are scheduled to start at 12:30pm.   

In grade 2 there is only 1 section of 5 clubs, so each team will have a couple of byes.    Our Grade 4 is in Section 1, G6 in Section 3 and G7 in Section 2 and all have 6 teams in their section, thus negating the need for a bye.   Exact details of the draw may be found on the zone 9 website.  Overall, Zone 9, if my additions are correct, will have 68 teams competing in the delayed season's start versus a total of 78 teams for the pennant season last year. 

A brief summary of our neighbouring Ku-ring-gai bowling clubs when compared to last year's season shows that :
Killara - no change G5 & G7:       Lindfield Rollers (Lindfield & Roseville) - G4, G5 & G7 in 2017 and with their amalgamation G5, G6 & G7 this year:     St Ives - G2, G3, G5, G6, & G7 in 2017 with 1 less this year G2, G4, G6 & G7:     Turramurra - last year G3, G4 & G6 and following their 3rd place in their section in G3, they drop to G4, G5 & G7 this year:     Warrawee - no change G5, G6 & G7:     West Pymble:     G4 & G6 in 2017 and after winning their G4 section last year they drop to G5 & G6. 
​

Enjoy the season.

Our happy bunch of Fours Pennant Flag Winners- well done ladies! Photograph: David Hagley 15 March 2018

The Women's District President, Julie Hayden, was on hand, with V-P Bev Piper, to formally present the Club's 2018 Championship-winning No. 4 Pennant team with their badges and the Pennant Flag.   While commenting positively about their exciting win in our District's pennant competition, Julie confirmed that they unreservedly deserved their win as they had proved to be by far the best team in the competition.   She wished them well in their playoff against the Manly Warringah District Champions, who they will play in May, and hopefully then in the State games later in the year.   Exact details of these games will be published at a later date.  


Julie Hayden briefed the many bowlers and guests present on "the happenings" in the District and highlighted our recently refurbished and modernised clubhouse.    Di McBryde, our Women's Club President, also congratulated our 4s pennant team ladies and reinforced how proud the whole club is about their flag winning achievement.  

For the record, the teams were (in order from left in the photos) Lena Pittman (skip), Judy Douglas (3rd), Pat Black (2nd) & Sue Byrne (L) and Jan Kelett (L), Jenny Bradley (2nd), Di Aston (3rd) & Judy Lonsdale (skip).  (It should also be noted that Shirley Wood was a reserve and kindly substituted in the final match.)

Judging on today's function and presentation .....  winners are definitely grinners!!   Well done ladies. Now let's see what the men can do!!

Club Singles Championship Final to Wilson Cheng

25/3/2018

Picture.. and 2 on the last end and the Club Singles Championship is yours Wilson!! Photograph:David Hagley David Hagley, Saturday, 17 March 2018
A beautiful, sunny, hot Autumn day, with the greens running true at medium pace set the scene for our Club Men's major event of the year, the Major Singles Championship.   The combatants, who had beaten all before them in the first 3 rounds and the semis, were Wilson Cheng, the 2017 Runner Up, and Jimmy Barclay, a first time finalist.  Judging by their unofficial roll up period before the match the game was going to be a cracker and we weren't disappointed.
Jimmy got away with an early lead and after 3 lead 5-1, after 7 8-4 and going into the 12th 11-6.   Wilson, in his usual manner, had difficulty finding his perfect draw game and his length was aray.   Jimmy on the other hand was on song, had undoubtedly brought his A game and the Marker, Peter Larcombe, was kept busy with the chalk as the jack was tickled here and then moved there.   However the game suddenly went through a complete change with Wilson dominating the next 8 ends.    Jimmy was at a loss to find his form as Wilson, bowling exceptionally,  reeled off 3, 4, 3, 3, 2 and 2 singles while dropping a lone shot.  17 shots to 1 shows the tale of the tape and suddenly Wilson had blown out to a commanding, winning 23-13 lead.   However, the tenacious "never say die" Jimmy was not going to let Wilson have it his own way and came back to 19-23 over the next 5 ends to only drop a couple of 2s and Wilson got away again to a 29-20 lead after the 29th.    All he had to do was close it off but this is easy said than done for a possible first time Championship winner.   A double, a 3 and a couple of singles meant than Jimmy was now back in race - trailing 27-29.   The numbers watching the last few ends as the pennant trials and social games finshed suddenly increased as the excitement and pressure on the Final pair grew.   Jimmy was on a roll with nothing to lose and Wilson was undoudtedly becoming nervous about the outcome.   But a two on the last from Wilson closed the game out. 
This encounter was truly a great final.  Two bowlers, neither of whom give an inch, battling it out for the Major Singles Championship and George Welch Trophy.   Congratulations to our new Club Champion Wilson Cheng and also to Runner Up Jimmy Barclay for a job well done.   If Wilson's experience is any guide ,,,,  maybe next year Jimmy?
