Now it was the fourth round that Cathy and Pam had been waiting for. Cathy was first to score, 3-0 after second end; Pam being Pam, this wasn’t going to happen, not today, her consistent good bowling and bowls experience allowed Pam to take this match 25-7. Congratulations to Cathy and Pam, what a game.

Pauleen Dimos played “catch up” in her very tough match against Bev Fyfe (Lake Cargelligo). Pauleen scored one shot in the first end, before long, Bev had a strong hold on this match, up 14-7.

The hard road back had to start, otherwise this would be the end of Pauleen’s hope of a District Singles title, for another year. Gradually one shot at a time, 18-18, then 20-20, Pauleen then scores two shots followed by another three shots to win 25-20. Into the next round to play Tanya Chaffey (Temora Exies). A good start for both players, after seven ends 7-7, as the Match progressed

Pauleen starts to get further behind, at 23-16 down, it was time to get a move on again, after another seven ends, score 24-24, last end there had to be a winner, Tanya 25 Pauleen 24.

Congratulations to all players for flying the flag so high for our Condobolin Sports Club.
