We're staying in Dunolly for a few days. It's a short drive to Maryborough so we're off to check out Maryborough Highland Society Bowls Club to see if we can get a game.
Jean walked in to the Bowls Room and Matt came in to see what she was doing. We met Matt when we went to Talbot a few weeks ago. He told us he won the District Champion of Champions Singles this year. Matt phoned Carisbrook to arrange a rollup for us tomorrow.
Matt introduced us to Treasurer Alan who sorted us out for a rollup.
The club has two greens either side of the clubhouse. One is grass
and the other is synthetic. Matt and Mal started rolling.
Laurie joined us so we played 2-4-2 up to ten. Laurie and Matt
Against Jean and Mal.
Jean was impressed with the shades. Laurie said they usually all have seats but they've been taken to the Highland gathering which is on Monday in Maryborough. Jean could feel her Scottish blood bubbling!
Mal and Jean started well and led for several ends.
Jean didn't like that the green put sand on her bowls.
Matt and Mal had a real tussle .
Jean was happy (bowling with her new Arm) if she could put them within a metre.
She gave Mal a run for his money.
Mal was a good partner.
Jean said "I think I'm bowling nearly as well left-handed with the arm after five outings as I do with my right arm!"
Greg from Match Committee came for a chat. Laurie says he's the best bowler in the club.
Last couple of ends they got ahead of us and won by four.
We had to roll back so the boys played this game where you put the kitty 1 foot from the ditch and everyone draws to it. You lose 4 points if you go in the ditch (Jean lost 12!) And you get points if you put kitty in the ditch but don't follow it.
We said goodbye and told Matt we'd see him around. He said he'll see us at Avoca on Tuesday.
