The winner of this game looked likely to win the pennant, with Northern Beaches a few points ahead of North Mackay holding second place. North Mackay’s three teams won their matches to take the 6 points and win the pennant, taking out the Mackay and district Division 2 championship, so it looks like we will be in division 1 next year. Congratulations to all three teams who played well all year to get back into division 1. The last time this happened was in 2016, with several of the same team members still playing this year. Club Championships Last Friday, the final of the club three bowl triples championship was played between Bert Hobbs, Chris and Scott Banney and Alex Cameron, Peter Grant and Clive Wales.

A huge congratulations to 3 gentleman who were recognized at the club’s recent AGM for years of service. Doug Sommerfied was a committee member in 1992 and 1993. He has been the "greens" director in the days when the greens were grass. For about 12 years Doug was instrumental in the organizing and running of the Bowls played at North Mackay Bowls Club. Artie Williams was a committee member from 1997 through to 2009. A lot of his time spent on the board was as games controller, selector and he was always involved in bowls subcommittees. He was Jr Vice President in 1999, 2004 and 2005. Always a willing helper for anything that needed to be done around the Club. John Ryan was a committee member from 1988 through to 2013. This man always has this Club at heart and has done so much for it. He was Jr Vice President in 1991, Senior Vice President in 1993 and 2000, President in 1994 and 1995. He had a five year break away from the board before taking on the role of Jr Vice President in 2011, 2012 and 2013. As he knows a bit about timber and building, he was always on the building committee. Goosies bowls results 6th March

The last of North Mackay Bowls Club championships were played on Sunday with the mixed pairs final between John Kennell and Lorraine Silman who played Dave McKendry and Daphne Offield. The spectators were treated to some good bowls played by both teams, but probably the difference was in Lorraine’s drives, which often took shot from Dave and Daphne. Lorraine and John won by 28-12. Lorraine and Bert Hobbs were runners up last year, but this year Lorraine and John have won the title. It is good to see the next generation of bowlers being coached by head coach, Felix Purcell, and Ian Beveridge through the school’s programme at Goosies. Both boys and girls appeared to take a keen interest. The club has several up and coming new and younger players who will be putting their name down for pennants and other club competitions next year, which is very good for both our club and bowls in general.

Last Sunday there were two Goosies club championship titles decided. First was the final of the Senior (over 60) Men’s Singles. This was won by Tony Allsop who played Bill McCurry. The game was exciting, as several times when Tony was holding shots, Bill took out the lead bowl with an up shot. Tony kept up the pressure however, finally winning by 25-11. The other title was the club Mixed Fours. The competing teams were Kees Struik, John Priest, Val DePinto and Marie Bragg against Ron Bowers, Dave McKendry, Lorna Bowers and Chrissy Hall. This was also a good game. In the end, Kees Struik’s team was too good for Ron Bowers’, winning by 26-9.

Last Saturday we held a send- off for well- known bowling member, Ken Wedel who is going to reside in Emu Park. Ken and Pat are going to live near their daughter who has a large property there. Ken will still play bowls, but at this stage is not sure if he will join Emu Park or Yeppoon club. Ken started off the St. Lawrence club and was their president for several years. When he came to North Mackay Bowls club in 2004, he became a member of the committee. He has won several championships, the latest being the two bowl triples club championships this year. The day was a great success with 10 rinks filled. In first place was a triple of Ron Bowers, Albert Graves and Neil Blucher, with Vic Gaudion and Peter Horsburgh filling second place.
