Trio wraps up three-bowl pairs
Hopetoun Bowls Club hosted a three-bowl pairs sets-play event on Monday.
Play started at about 1pm.
Judy Fisher and Shane Macklin had a meagre total of 30 points but halfway through their second set. scored an amazing maximum six shots from six bowls.
Travelling visitor Les James was paired with regular Deb Tredwell.
Les managed to deliver a wrong bias and endeared himself to the cheering crowd.
When questioned on what happened, he said, "These are not my bowls."
They won the first set and scored on 12 ends on the way to a 32-point total.
With 51 points, Mark Reid was very competitive, winning two of the three games played, assisted by Alan Maas.
His embarrassing wrong-biased effort carries fines that he will definitely be reminded of.
Winning all three games, Ken Healy led with consistency.
Seventy-four points is a winning score on some occasions.
The winning team of Lisa Wilson, David Watson and Winston Gould was the only team with three participants.
Their overall total of 78 points resulted from an incredible 17 ends won of 24 played.
