Lockington Bowls Club- January 19

What a big week in bowls for Lockington.

The journey started with the outstanding show in the annual Locky Legends 2 bowls Triples held on Monday evening.

Congratulations to Cindy Felmingham on her tremendous achievement in organising the field of 32 teams - 96 bowlers to contest the popular event.

Others involved included the kitchen staff, greens staff and barman.

Clubs represented included Calivil, Cohuna Golf, Dingee, Echuca, Elmore, Inglewood, Kerang, Lockington, Mathoura, Moama, Moulamein, Pyramid Hill, Rich River, Rochester, Rushworth, Serpentine, and Stanhope.

At the completion of the three games of ten ends there were four undefeated teams to compete for the major trophies generously sponsored by Westwoods - Echuca.

Following a lengthy prognosis, a Stanhope trio won the night on 80 points.

Teena Harris, Peter "Pee Wee" Harris and Greg Fitzpatrick (s) all bowled brilliantly.

Runners-up prizes on 79 points +23 shots went to the Moama team comprising Barry Simmons, Ann Vanderklay and Russell Kelly (s) on a countback from the Kerang strength in Brett Hepworth, Graeme Hayes, and Gary Borg (s) scoring 79 points +21 shots.

The Echuca team of Chris Campbell, Jerry Worster, and Steve Cunnington (s) tallied 74 points to just miss the prize money.

Best last game winner was the Echuca/Mathoura trio of June Clfford, Gayle Kerr, and Trevor Rickard (s) +12 shots.

Club President John van den Bosch thanked all bowlers for their support on a successful evening of bowls.

On Tuesday evening, a good roll up attended the popular barefoot bowls which resulted in some pretty keen action and good bowling.

The winners were Terrill Westwood, John Dowie, Shane Felmingham (s) two wins +14 shots ahead of the Oliver clan in Ace, Clint and Steve Oliver (s) 1 win and 1 tie +5 shots.

The special competition winner was Rod Fiedler, 2nd Shane Felmingham and third Clint Oliver.

The resumption of weekend pennant was not a happy return for the club with only Division five saluting the judge with a thrilling one shot victory over Deniliquin White 40-39 and making the top four (Rod Fiedler d. C Murray 21-19; Kalvin Stout lost to C Knuckey 19-20).

Both Division three and four lowered their colours to Echuca for the second time this season.

Division three had two rinks up but not quite enough in the 51-59 loss (Kym Ray d. T Deenan 27-11; John Fisher l.t. T Rickard 9-30; Leanne McInnes d. G Clymo 21-18).

The team has slipped one place to fifth on the ladder.

Division four had the one rink up as they lost the battle 57-74 (Cindy Felmingham l.t. M Bennett 13-40; Denise Gilmore l.t. K Robertson 17-22; Shane Felmingham d. M Thorn 27-12) and is in 7th spot on the ladder.

Good bowling this weekend and remember the season is quickly coming to an end.

Division Four defeated Stanhope 51-40 with both rinks in front at the end of the day. (Steve Peter d. A Trist 26-19; Cindy Felmingham d. B Williams 25-21 in a classic display from the team).

The barefoot bowls attracted a small gathering on Tuesday evening, but everyone enjoyed the occasion in ideal conditions.

The players competed in both pairs and triples.

The winning team on the night was the formidable trio in Jayden D Wright , David Winchcomb, Jeff Carnie (s) two wins +9 shots.

In second place was the pair of Jason King and Terrill Westwood (s) one win/one tie +8 shots.

The club thanked Leanne McInnes, Cindy Felmingham, Kim Ray and the cooks plus Phillip Cunnington for the bar duties.

Barefoot bowls has been cancelled this week due to the predicted hot weather on Tuesday.

A local rink played at the Cohuna Open Fours last Sunday and returned home in a luckless manner, losing all games by an aggregate of only five shots.
