A sad story at Gosford

It's Saturday - Pennant day. There's no social bowls on today so we decide to drive up to Gosford in the morning to get a rollup and maybe watch some Pennants.

Bob showed us where to roll up. He told us though the club signed a five-year lease, the council thinks the club is under-utilised and wants to put units or a carpark here. Very sad for the only club in Gosford.

Mal chatted with Terry.

Terry told us the club has gone downhill from its glory days.

The glory days were impressive. Rooster told us they won more Pennants than any other club in NSW.

It's a fine display.

Even more imposing close up.

The trophies are also notable.

Mal checked out the trophy case.

There's a lovely grandfather clock.

Gary (Jaffa) told us the Mariners soccer stadium next door helps to keep them afloat.

There are two grass greens.

We bowled on the front green.

There's an odd-shaped synthetic under the stadium. Bob told us it is rubbish and will come out but is likely not to be replaced.

Mal kicked off.

He did ok.

Jean was up and down.

She got closish.

It got hot so we gave up. Jean had the last laugh.

The Gosford players got ready to play Pennants.

They called the cards.

It was the Fives and Sixes today. Gosford against Umina Beach and Munmorah.

We wish them the best of luck and prosperity.

Gosford - oh let's get back to the days of old!
