Weston Creek - back again with the boys (and a girl)

Mal went home to Tuggeranong yesterday. We were going to go to Jean's club Weston Creek to play with the ladies on Tuesday but Mal's brother Michael ra ng him and asked if he wanted to play today, Saturday. We decided to go. We'll still play there on Tuesday, just won't blog!

We came in and both had to re-join the club. Then we re-connected with Martin who now organises Saturday social bowls.

The clubhouse hasn't changed.

We've known the three Weston Creek greens for twenty years -

including the yucky old synthetic.

We played on Green One.

It's the 'WN Sam Hill Green'.

We had a triples game together. Jean played lead with Barry and Mal skipped.

We played against Gloria who led, Dave (who we saw in Kingscliff on our travels) and skip Wally.

There were three games. Two pairs and one triples.

Jean and Mal both struggled with weight first few ends. Jean got it, as usual on the 6th end. We hadn't scored all game so when Barry scored a second we were over the moon.

Then we were four down and Mal came in and took the kitty for shot.

Jean and Barry drew three then Mal came in and consolidated for four. It put us level.

Jean started getting shots (setting a good base) and we started winning.

It was neck and neck all game but they ran ahead in the last few ends to win 21 to 15. We came in for drinks. Wally and Gloria had to leave.

Mal was so happy to catch up with his brother Michael who he hadn't seen for ten months (though they do speak every week on 'Tanks').

Weston Creek - we lost but had a good time!
