A little game of Monday triples at Macarthur

Friday when we were at Heywood, Paul suggested we ring Rose at Macarthur as he thought they were short of Pennant players. Mal rang her to find out that apparently they can't use subs in the last two games. Rose invited him to come on Monday morning for a practice game.

First person we met was Libby

Outside on the footpath Mal found Ken to ask him about an ATM. He said he lives 15 minutes out. He used to come into town to do stuff but there's nothing left here now except bowls. No ATM.

Rose (who Mal spoke with) Carol and Libby look after everything.

It's a little clubhouse. Small but functional with a long table down the middle.

We saw the club got a big grant of $300k.

They built new toilets.

They used to have a competition 'The Throne of Power' - last played in 1995.

There's one old synthetic green.

We played three-bowl triples. Two games of eight ends. It was Ken, Peter and Jean.

Against Libby, Bob and Nan.

Rose, Mal and Maureen

Played Carol, Mary and Fran.

There were just twelve players. Four blokes and eight women.

Jean couldn't quite get the grass though she was close.

Mal liked the long ends.

Ken's team won 11 to 3. Mal went down 7 to 8. Next game Jean played Carol, Mary and Fran andal played Libby Bob and Nan.

Ken loved Jean's bowl where she drew in in front of Mary's shot.

Mal was bowling spot on.

Jean's rink did a great caterpillar.

Mal called "Jean, Jean, get a shot of this!"

Ken's team went down two on the last end. Mal won 10 to 3. Mal came second. There was no bar so Mal didn't want to hang around.

Macarthur - a small game with nice people.
