We have had really lovely feedback from all teams which is great to hear.
Our Mixed Pairs were run over the weekend and quite a few bowlers struggled with the heat Saturday afternoon so the committee made the decision to only play the 2 games on Sunday morning and we cancelled the 6th game due to extreme heat, a popular decision.
Tournament was won by local couple Russell and Lisa Boyd with 5 wins + 51
Second Place John and Kate Cooper 5 wins + 37 also from Young and Third Place went to Alan Schirmer and Lorraine Williams from West Wyalong with 4 wins + 39
The five game winners were:

Game 2: Keith and Beth Fisher from Lake Cargelligo.
Game 3: Anni and Rob Steer – West Wyalong.

The winners of the June Brown Memorial Trophy for best local team not already in prizemoney
Went to Dianne Peisley and George Somerville with 4 wins + 22.
Our Young ladies can be very proud of their efforts in the running of these two tournaments and other than the hiccups with the hot weather over the weekend when we had to find bowlers from elsewhere to help us out in completing the mixed pairs all went off smoothly.
