Wicks Park to Be Renamed After Club Fours
The first of the 2013 Club Championships began last Sunday with
the Club Fours. Fifteen teams entered the competition with a
combination of new and present bowlers teamed together. With
the trial against Glenbrook washed out the day before, it was
great to see the Toongabbie greens still running at a good pace.
Congrats to Tiger
and Matt for their
hard work over
the summer.
With reigning
Fours Champion
Stewart Bills
gaining a 1st
round bye, he was
confident of back
to back titles as
he was teamed
with mate Barry
“BJ” Jenkins. The
morning games were intriguing with David Banasiak against Keith
Smith, Brett “Cyril” Hughes against Gerald Berkenmeyer, Bill
Lawrence against Adrian “Battman” Batt, Paul Harper against
Cameron McClure, Ken Freeland against Jim McKenzie, Nick “Boo
Boo” Redcliffe against Harry Arthurs and Alan “Chook” Williamson
against new bowler Ben Richards.
Results were
Banasiak 22 def Smith 21
Hughes 24 def Berkenmeyer 9
Lawrence 18 def Batt 13
Harper 22 def McClure 15,
Freeland 22 def McKenzie 12
Redcliffe 29 def Arthurs 6
Richards 18 def Williamson 16
The afternoon games started with light drizzle falling and colder,
windy conditions. Was it summer or the middle of winter? Luckily
the cloud cleared early and players were able to play in
reasonable conditions. With semi-final spots up for grabs, the
quality of games increased with Hughes against Banasiak, Harper
against Lawrence, Redcliffe against Freeland and Richards against
Jenkins.
Hughes against Banasiak was a shot for shot game early on with
Toonie favourite PJ on fire for Hughes. But the new Les “Wicky”
Neich was on show. A Local Council will be changing Wicks Oval
into Brett Hughes Park. When required Hughes received the wick
required to go onto a 25- 15 victory.
Harper and Lawrence were in a tight, low scoring game with
Lawrence leading 17-11 with 3 ends to play. Needing 3 on the last,
a bowl each from Peter Dive, Garry “Junior” Harper and Kyle
“Yogi” Martinez allowed “Harps” a 18-17 last end victory.
Nick “Boo Boo” Redcliife’s team were the outstanding team of the
morning and this continued in the afternoon with a smashing 27-5
victory over Ken Freeland and again playing only 17 ends.
Fantastic lead bowls by James Killick was a feature of the days
play for this team.
With a last end victory in the morning game, Ben Richards, the
favourites for this year’s title, was against the team consisting of last
years champion, Stewart Bills. This was a high quality game with the
score being tight all the way. With umpire Paul “Teach” Leonarder
wanting to foot fault new bowler Don Strickland on every delivery,
the Richards team was under intense pressure. But on the 2nd last
end Richard played an enormous bowl to lead the team to a 2119 victory.
On Saturday, 2 fantastic semi-final games are installed from
9.30am
Shane Partridge, PJ, Michael Lombardi and Brett Hughes v
Peter Dive, Garry Harper, Kyle Martinez and Paul Harper 12.30pm
James Killick, Graeme Callaghan, Todd Lonergan and Nick
Redcliffe v
Victor Aruajo, Matt Smith, Don Strickland and Ben Richards 9.30am
The Final will be played on Saturday 16 February at 12.30 as part of
the Pennant “Bonding Day”.
