Picton - bowls with the Razorbacks

We are staying in Camden. We went to both the Camden clubs because we heard they had games. They didn't. One of the guys from Camden Bowling Club phoned Picton and found out they had a game on. He put our names down and we got there with 10 minutes to spare.


When we arrived the boys were waiting for us. There was Dermot, Dennis, Barry and Tuppo.

They are the 'Razorbacks' after 'Razorback Mountain '.

It's a nice little club. The bowlers all gathered inside.

There are three nice grass greens. One out the front is closed.

There are two out the back.

There were 6 games. We played three-bowl triples - 18 ends.

We played on both greens. It ran very true. There was zero wind!

Behind the T was full of weeds but it made no difference to how it ran.

Mal and Jean were on opposite sides. Alan, Jean and Sue played together. Jean led and Al skipped.

Against Peter, Mal and Greg. Peter led and Mal skipped.

Jean and Pete were having a real tussle but Pete always pipped her at the post. Jean was frustrated she couldn't outbowl him. She could have gotten cross at him but he was too nice a fellow!

Playing against Al brought Mal's game up. He did some good skip shots.

Jean showed the seconds her 'Bowls Eye'. The liked it but were a little uncertain to use it.

Mal's team was one up then Sue got three shots. Mal came in and took kitty for one.

Then Jean put two right on it. She was about to take a photo when Pete took kitty.

Last end Al's team was up two. Mal needed three to win, two to draw. They got six! We came inside for drinks.

Jean explained to Pete and Sue about her obsessive compulsive need to find a black club shirt for Saturdays. Pete said their old shirt was black and white and went on a search for one. Dermot gave Jean one. Mal bought a club shirt (because it's Parra colours).


Picton - Mal wins again.
