Doubleview scoop the pool

December 20, 2012
One of our Sponsors, Mark Simpson, proprieter of the Gin Gin hotel was elated with the news at Doubleview, they won in every division and almost impossible to believe, they won on every rink in Mid-Week pennants.

The divisions were One Red, Two Bue, Four Red and six White. That is an achievement if ever there was one and boy do they like their President Bob Leed

When it came to the highest winning margin the Club President thought bugger it, this is such a rare occurrence every team member in those four divisions can have two beers on the Club, wow how generous is that? !! what a great President!! they sure don't do things in half measures at the View.

I am thinking the Pres might be hoping for a different result in next week's pennant matches tho.
Well done Doubleview

Kepler Wessels

November 30, 2012
Mike Zusman in Adelaide this week to catch some of the action, informed Sherro he had witnessed the best game of bowls he has ever seen, now that is a pretty big statement considering his long involvement in the sport.
The game was pairs, the players were
Aron Sherriff and Leif Selby
v
Paul Foster and Alex Marshall.

"Never have I witnessed such drawshot power in a game, their skill was phenomenal" he stated, and went on further to say "These player are so good they can play any shot with deadly accuracy and pinpoint exactly where they want to draw to and doing it on such a quick green"

The game ended 16 - 16 with the players receiving a standing ovation from the spectators.

November 29, 2012
Kepler Wessels, a star batsman represented both Sth Africa and Australia during his Cricket career, is in Perth as a commentator for the Television coverage of the 3rd test.
Kepler is also an extremely good Lawn Bowler and represents Eastern province in Sth Africa, which is the same as a player representing his State here in Australia

Who is this player

November 30, 2012
Many thanks to our visitors who have attempted to name the mystery player.
He has been identified, tho there were so many who were way off the mark

Some suggestions as to whom it was in the picture;

Tony Krajancic was a hugely popular choice polling best of the wrong players list,
No, it wasn't the former CEO of BowlsWA Andrew Collings either, he received several nominations..

Former State player Laurie Slater who hailed from the 70's era who recieved a nomination, another choice was the late and great Bert Sharp, even tho we did indicate the pic was of a current day player.

However the player was overwhelmingly correctly identfied by our visitors
Many thanks once again to our visitors for taking the time to see if they could indentify the player

November 28, 2012
We received this pic yesterday of a long time player, He is very young in the picture. Can our visitors indentify him, the 146th correct selection gets a pair of Brown bowling shoes

Not happy with Sunday games

November 23, 2012
After running a poll regarding shifting 2nd div and under Grand finals from Saturday to Sunday so bowlers can watch the football, the response from our visitors was a clear no!

We have since received a letter from Maryanne Hughes

Sherro

Many people I talk too are fed up with playing on Sundays. It is called Saturday Pennants and we sign up to play on Saturdays, not Sundays and not Fridays.

Our club, like many others, is disadvantaged by not having a full squad available.

How about you organise a vote:

Are you in favour of pennant games on Sundays?

Vote

Bowls finals

November 20, 2012
The Premier League Grand final will be played on a Sunday. The Good news for Lawn Bowls and bowlers is there is no AFL football on that day.

Grades from 2nd div and down will play to a new format, On Saturday there are two games,

1 plays 3, 2 plays 4 in the morning, winners play in the afternoon to decide who wins the flag.

With this arrangement now in place, bowlers who play in the Saturday finals have the opportunity to watch the Premier League, One White and the Blue Grand Finals on the Sunday.
It also gives supporters from other Clubs and grades the chance to watch the Grand finals even if their club is not involved

We have learnt that the West Coast Eagles are playing on Sat afternoon of the 2nd div and under finals starting at 4.40PM which means bowlers who love their footy will miss some or all of the game which will be a live telecast.

Should BowlsWA move the 2nd and under div finals and play them on the Sunday of the three finals allowing those who want to watch the footy to do so or should BowlsWA leave the finals the way it is now setup and forget about the footy.

Vote

Transferring to another Club

November 14, 2012
Just to make bowlers aware that if they have played a game for a club (either Saturday or Midweek) this season and seek a transfer to another club, they MUST write to Bowls WA and seek permission to do so and pay a fee of $100.00 PRIOR to playing for their new club.

Failure to do so can of course prove very costly to a club. (See page 36 of the Fixture Book - Rule 2.3.

SportFM 91.3 Talking Bowls

Wings Clipped

November 15, 2012

Wings Evans has finally had his wings clipped after the game against Cambridge last Saturday following a heavy day of high fives and following his bowls to the head.

Wings only ever follows the good ones mind you and that is often.

Last Saturday I can't remember when there were more high fives ever celebrated in a game of Lawn Bowls such was his display in a memorable game of precision and skill.

Well, there was some bad news for the Winger when he took a turn for the worse on the way home and was raced off to hospital in an ambulance. It wasn't looking so good.

An examination for possible heart problems resulted in a clean bill of health thank goodness.

It was clear from the way Wings treated the opposition on Saturday, that he lacks any heart or compassion at all – so there was no point in testing for heart problems

It turned out to be a muscular/skeletel problem, maybe a pulled muscle in the upper rib cage, not sure but it sure did hurt him a lot.
Wings has been told that running down the green and giving multiple high fives is not on, from now on he should consider looking at only doing low high fives.

It was a great effort from Wings and the rink to get across the line line.

Thankfully he is ok, but he will be playing only on one wing for a while

Charlie Slavich defeated

November 7, 2012
Charlie Slavich was defeated by Greg Harlow in the first round of the Scottish International Singles played in Perth Scotland last evening.

For those who don't have Foxtel which includes myself, the final score was 13-8, 12-3 to Harlow who is the number one seed in the tournament.

We were told Charlie made a promising start and did well in the first set, Charlie lost his draw power in the second set when he couldn't hold his bowls back on a fast track so our info goes.

The PBA is a wonderful event where it gives WA bowlers the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the world's finest players and I am sure Charlie Slavich will remember his experience playing in the UK and will be looking for more next year.

Australian Open announcement Broadbeach

October 12, 2012
Australian Open announcement correction

Bowls Australia wish to clarify a press release recently issued regarding the staging of the Australian Open from 2015 and beyond.

A statement issued by the Broadbeach Bowls and Community Club this week that indicated the club had won the rights to stage the sport's richest and most lucrative event for a three year period from 2015 is factually incorrect.

"At this point in time, no decision has been made on the future venue for the Australian Open," Bowls Australia chief executive officer Neil Dalrymple said.

"Discussions are well advanced with a number of prospective venues, of which Broadbeach is one, and these discussions are ongoing.

"Throughout these discussions, the Gold Coast region has been regarded by Bowls Australia as an exciting prospect for the event, boasting very high participation levels, and the excitement will build as the 2018 Commonwealth Games approach."

The $125,000 Australian Open will remain at the Darebin International Sports Centre in Melbourne, the home of the 2006 Commonwealth Games bowls competition, for 2013 and 2014.

"The Australian Open is a Bowls Australia event and we are disappointed that the announcement was made public with no consultation with Bowls Australia at all," Dalrymple said.

"We are continuing to review the event and remain committed to finding the most suitable venue for it going forward after the current contract with the Victorian Government expires.

"Bowls Australia look forward to making the exciting announcement of the chosen venue for the sport's marquee annual event in due course."

Joe Aarons elected World Bowls President

October 9, 2012
Current Bowls Australia President Joe Aarons has been elected as the World Bowls president, Joe becomes the first Australian to be elected to fill this important role.
No doubt we have lost a good man in Joe Aarons, he has been a marvellous president in the time he filled the role, overseeing many changes for the betterment of the sport.

He has given a huge amount of his time to the game in Australia and was always accessible to the media. World Bowls have certainly gained a very good man who is highly respected and brings along a huge passion for the sport.

We wish Joe all the best in his new role

It is believed Long time State player John Goddard announced his resignation from the State squad yesterday morning.

John Goddard, always the team man has been a passionate person and a committed player not only for his Club but also for the State.

His record speaks for itself as W.A's best performed skipper over the past four Sides series and previously played in many a winning rink playing as a 3rd, his presence will be missed.

Bowls here in WA can ill afford to lose people of his calibre.

There have been other resignations along the way, which include the highly regarded Neil Payne who informed the selectors he was not available for the upcoming series against NSW.

Jon Sharp announced he was not available due to work commitments and Ross Bresland who played in the last two sides series has also withdrawn from the squad

This loss has put Merrylands in a hard position, they play Helensvale this afternoon, they have to win all three rinks and win the aggregate by 20 or more.Mission impossible I would think

Cambridge face a gargantuan challenge in their attempt to win the Henselite National Club 5 A Side Challenge which must be the hardest competition in the world to win.
The competition is stacked with so many of the best players on the planet, one of whom is none other than Scottish Legend Alex Marshall who is regarded by many as the best player in the world.

I wish the Cambridge players all the best, I am sure they are going to love the opportunity to play in such an event as this and will soak it all up, As the words of the Paul Kelly song go, from little things big things grow and I am sure the Cambridge players will be all the better for the experience. We will be wishing and hoping the Boys do well

I don't think any WA side has come away finishing better than 18th, 19th or 20th in this event but thank goodness our teams keep fronting up to keep a W.A presence in this enormous event.

A huge point of interest will be to see how the Australian Ladies side to represent Australia in the World games will perform in this event.

It all starts Monday 3rd September and goes to Thursday 6th September. They will be playing for $50,000.00 prizemoney

As per usual Helensvale have their outstanding Calcutta form guide showing all teams and their representatives

State side changes

August 22, 2012
State skipper Jon Sharp is unavailable to play for W.A due to work commitments, his place in the squad has been taken by Cambridge team mate Chris Lander.

Jon previously retired from the State side also due to work commitments at the end of the 2008 after winning the Alan Eddy/Rod Wishart Medal, there was little doubt he was the best player for W.A in that series.

He returned to the side for the 2011 series at Nelson Bay in N.S.W and also played in the recent Qld series where his rink on both ocassions had limited success .

Jon is highly respected by the bowling fraternity and well liked by his team mates. What the future holds for him from here on is uncertain as far as State Bowls is concerned.

Jon played a huge role during season 2011-12 winning 10 of his last 11 games which was critical to Cambridge winning their first ever premiership.

The word we have heard is he will be back to play his part in defending the title Cambridge won and hopefully go back to back.

Chris Lander is a great selection, his form over the past two seasons in pennants has been outstanding.
He played mainly as a three for several seasons before taking the responsibility of skippering a rink and up comes a Premiership in his second year in that role.

His major asset is his draw shot ability which is very consistent, no doubt he will make a terrific second or third if selected in the side to go Bendigo

W.A Bowlers set for action at Tweed Heads

August 17, 2012
W.A Australian Indoor sets play qualifiers Clive Adams, Charlie Slavich and Glen Pauling will be at Tweed Heads Bowling Club to compete in the event starting on Monday.

Australian A squad member Clive Adams has played in this event several times over the years, the occasion he first played in this event was in 2005, as yet Clive who is our most prolific and consistent singles performer over the past 10 or so seasons is yet to claim ultimate success in the Indoor sets play.
Clive is well aware of what is needed to win, if he can produce the form he presented in the Side series he will go awfully close to being at the business end of this event.

Charlie Slavich is in excellent touch having played this week in the PBA and ever so unlucky to have lost both games he played in on the last bowl in tiebreakers.
We are pretty sure that this experience over the past week will stand Charlie in good stead against the quality of players he will meet

Glenn Pauling is another W.A player who has done well for himself when he won a trip to the UK after winning one of the PBA Singles events.
Glenn is no slouch when it comes to singles play and always puts in a good preparation to have himself ready as can be for the upcoming action

We wish the boys good luck and hope one of them can bring home the bacon

PBA news

August 16, 2012
N.S.W player Ray Pearse defeated Rocket Heaton in the final 2 sets to one to win the trip to the UK
The Rocket trailed the jack with his last bowl but a Ray Pearce bowl was waiting. Congrats to Ray and well done Rocket.

Rocket wins his way into the final defeating Chad Plentyman 2 sets to nil and will meet Ray Pearse

Steve Withers won his game 2 sets to nil but was beaten in the final 2 sets to one

Charlie Slavich lost his game 2-1 in the World Indoor bowls section of the PBA this morning , once again it was a last bowl job that got Charlie, he lost to N.S.W player Ray Pearce.

Rod Heaton on the mat at Tweed Heads to contest the World singles section won the first set 11-0 against Victorian player Chad Twentyman. The Rocket is consistently putting his four bowls within a foot of the Jack. If he can win his next game which will be the final, he will be off to the UK

A view of how close the Rocket is getting his bowls to the jack, thanks to Greg Kelly for this pic

Steve Withers is also playing this morning (in the Scottish section I think) and he won his first set,

Archie Reeves 99th birthday

August 15, 2012
Archie Reeves turns 99 today! The old bugger is still going strong and doesn't look like slowing down.

I remember when I first started bowling. I'd had a few social roll-ups with my father, so naturally I knew everything about the game.

I started playing scroungers at Ossy Park, and came up against this 84 year old codger. I thought, "I'll give this old fart a pasting!"

I think I scored 6 points that day. :-(
A very quick lesson in one of the fundamentals of the game - you can't beat 60-odd years of experience.

Good on you, Archie, and I hope you're with us for many more years.

Cheers
Swifty

"Billy" the Kidd

August 14, 2012
A bit of sad news from the Top End re passing of effectively the man who would be regarded as "Mr Bowls NT". "Billy The Kidd" on Sunday.

Many of your 'experienced bowlers' who travelled up here regularly in in the 70's and 80's plus State Rep's through mid 80's to 90's will remember Billy well.

Thought it may be appropriate to pass this on given the old boys connection and networks betweeen ourselves that dates back to this period in particular, as I'm sure some would appreciate this sad advice of his passing.

Regards
Steve'Douggo' Douglas

No wonder he was called Billy the Kidd

August 14, 2012
Sorry to hear of Bill Kidd's passing. I still can't get over how the Old Bugger conned me when I played against him in the Arafura Games back in 1995.

I was representing West Kimberley, and Bill was representing the NT, He had me feeling really sorry for him with his "I don't know why they picked me - I'm too old. I've got a crook back - it's a real struggle just to pick up my bowls. And so on.

So I was pretty gentle with old Billy and started out being kind - thinking that I would let him score a couple of shots rather than demolish him completely.

He even had me picking up his bowls for him all the time.

Then before I knew what - the game was over. The Kidd gave me a belting.

It was only while sharing a few drinks after the game that Bill let slip that he had been a regular Territory representative, as well as having won a trip to England by winning the Australian Indoor Singles title.

No wonder he was called Billy the Kidd

Golden Nugget an eye opener

August 10, 2012
Just returned from Tweed Heads Bowling club where Mike Zusman and myself called the 2012 Golden Nugget. Must say how impressed we were with the Club and the event.

Bowls up on the Gold Coast is a way of life for many people. Where would we see people queuing up at 8.30 am to make sure they would get a seat to watch the finals, also where else would we see a crowd of 1500 in attendance to watch the finals. I remain hopeful that in time Bowls in WA would someday have a similar situation.

Thank you to Greg Kelly, a highly respected person throughout Bowling circles in Australia, who has done so much to promote the game over many years and the man who played such an important role in having the Golden Nugget broadcast on radio 91.3SportFM which is a first time for the event.

Also thanks to the Tweed Heads management and Paul Girdler in particular who left no stone unturned to make our stay a pleasant one

Playing in a field of 24 at the Golden Nugget were 11 players who will represent Australia in the World Games in Adelaide took part, it certainly opened my eyes to the professionalism and skill of both men and women, they were sensational, it was bowls at its best

I would hasten add that Bowls at the top level is in good hands when we have the likes of Steve Glasson on the the coaching panel and Kelvin Kerkow in selection

Congratulations to the 2012 Golden Nugget winners, Leif Selby and Rebecca Quail who were superb, as were their opponents Ben Twist and Kelsey Cottrell

Many thanks to these wonderful Golden Nugget players, they were so friendly and helpful by making themselves available at all times to be interviewed whether it was during the game or immediately after the game, they were very happy to do what ever they could do to help promote the sport.

Our feedback from the listeners showed they were appreciated these player interviews

Guts goes down in the
Gold Coast Winter Singles

July 21, 2012
John Goddard was defeated in the final of the Gold Coast Winter Singles. He lost to Ryan Bester 25-17.
Guts was 15-4 down came back into the game strongly but was unable to overcome such a big lead where driving was a feature of Ryan Bester's game
None the less it was a great performance for John to make the final.

In his earlier win win against Dean McWhinney which Guts won 21-6, Dean who is a Qld State leader commented it was the best performance he had ever played against such was the standard John produced.

This is the second time an Osborne Park player has lost the final in recent times, Pat Caffell lost to Dean McWhinney a couple of years back

July 20, 2012
John " Guts" Goddard progressed thru to the final of the Gold Coast Winter Singles after defeating Ray Glasser 25-15 this morning,
He will play Broadbeach champ Ryan Bester who defeated Nigel Smith 25-15.
In what should be a great final it gets under way shortly which will be played on the indoor carpet at Paradise Point.

Sean Heasman is playing in the restricted singles, he is down 21-19 at the moment, an update, Sean lost to Hugh Jorganson 25-21.

In an earlier game Guts bowled over the Super whiz kid and previous winner of this event Dean McWhinney 21-6. Word from Tweed Heads is Guts is in some pretty good form.

Bad luck but well done to Gordon King who was put out of the quarter final when he was beaten 25-20 by Nigel Smith

Anthony Provost bombshell

July 12, 2012
Four time State Singles winner Anthony Provost has advised Victoria Park he will not be playing Premier League pennants in the upcoming season.
Anthony who has moved to Mandurah, advised Victoria Park that for family reasons he will not be available for 2012-13.

Family always comes first ahead of any other consideration and I applaud the decision from Anthony and wish he and his family all the best for the future.

He is regarded by many as the best player in WA and has an impressive record to back up that opinion
He is also regarded as one of the best players in Australia and still has plenty of time up his sleeve to make his mark on the National scene if that is something he might want later.

Hopefully he might be back playing at the highest level sometime down the track.

AP will fill his PBA committment in August where he was qualifier back in May.

W.A Ladies to play Victoria

July 12, 2012
15th & 16th September at Altona Bowls Club,Victoria.

Bowls WA is pleased to announce that the Women's State Side will be play Victoria in a three test series on September 15th and 16th at Altona Bowls Club, Victoria.

This will be the first time in recent history WA have sent a State side away for a test series. Discussions are similarly being held with other States & Territories to secure a Men's series in 2012.

Assistant State Coach Tony Hockey said the series will give the WA Women a good chance to prepare for the future Australian Sides Series held in Bendigo, April 2013. "The format will be three tests, two on Saturday and one on Sunday morning. They will be played over 21 ends, three rinks of four players, as in the Sides series".

"It will be a good chance for the selected players to gain further experience at Interstate level and allow the selectors and coaches to further develop the team."

CEO Ken Pride commented that this announcement reinforced the Bowls WA commitment to the High Performance programme. "Bowls WA recognises the importance of this series and will continue to support our athlete's in developing themselves to achieve success for WA in the future."

"We are extremely proud of the recent Australian A inclusions such as Kelli Rogalski and Clive Adams and it is hoped these Test Series for both Men and Women will continue in an ongoing basis to allow our elite athlete's exposure to high level competition."

The 12 players selected to represent WA for this series will be on announced in August.

King Kelvin does it again

July 4, 2012
The King of the Tweed is what they call him, Kelvin Kerkow defeated Victorian player Ashley Bates in a game where he was never threatened to win very comfortably 25 - 7.
The win makes it back to back for Kelvin Kerkow who was victorious when he played Ashley Bates in last years final.

The win emphasizes further just how good Kelvin Kerkow really is where he remains unbeaten over two Prestige Open Singles tournaments.

Must say well done to Ashley Bates on his performance to make it to the final and unfortunate to have run into Australia's best player both times.
It was great to see him to be included as the wildcard entry in the upcoming Tweed Heads Golden Nugget. He thoroughly deserves his inclusion.

TWEED HEADS PRESTIGE OPEN SINGLES

July 3, 2012
Matt Mitchell lost to Barry Lester 25/22 coming from 14/2 down.
Played bad early as he struggled with the change of green and rinks but played very well over the last half of the match and gave himself a chance of victory on the last end when he had had a chance to sit the Lester shot bowl out and stay for three but was unlucky when his attempt just slid by.

Matt won his earlier game 25-18 against Ian Taylor.
Well done to both Mark Simpson and Matt Mitchell

Matt in particular has really excelled when we look at the quality of his opponents, better things lay ahead for the Manning Eagle

One Clue, he is a Cambridge player

UPDATE

Sorry to say but so far no one has identified the player, there has been a terrific reponse with so many different names sent in, Reg Humpryson, Ivan Jakovich Neale Griffin and Brad Ball are some of the latest to be nominated. Not sure how our visitors could have such a wide and varying idea of who this player is, but many thanks for having a go at it.

Probably the biggest surprise is there are players from his own Club that can't see any similarity of him as he is now and back then when the pic was taken, but as we did say, it would be a toughie to pick.

June 29, 2012
Many thanks to all who have responded to " Who is this player" . The emails keep piling in but sorry to say no correct selection yet.

Other suggestions, and some of them several times have been Mike Zusman, Daniel Brown, Tom Norac, Ken Screech, Fred DiGuiseppe, Pat Caffell, Rooster Wishart, The Jones Boy and Chris McKenna who incidently won the Mosman Pk best player award back to back which is a very good effort indeed
If we dont have the correct selection by mid next week we will publish a current pic of him.

June 28, 2012

UPDATE

This pic has generated a quite a lot of interest, so far there have been no correct selection including those in the mail bag this morning.

Among those mentioned include Mick McGann, Roger Barns and Gary Caffell.
I think we have got our visitors measure with this pic, but the player is well known.
Several visitors have expressed they are thankful there are no Brown shoes for the correct winner, saying to pick who the player will be enough satifaction. I am sorry about the shoes, bowlers seem to not like that colour but for me Brown is best.

June 27, 2012

PLAYER UPDATE

We have had many replies to who is this player, Most have suggested Jon Sharp, Pieter Harris, Brian Kiely, one even suggested Bustling Billy Brandsma, there are others as well but too many to mention.
This player had a very good season in 2011-12 and will play again this season .

June 26, 2012
I have a picture of a very well known player, I feel our visitors will not identify easily unless of course he lets the cat out of the bag.

Black Caviar wins George Smith Loses

Northlands Shopping Centre
Big 300 Results.

Another big big week in the world of Sport, Black Caviar wins her race in the U.K
The West Coast Eagles go down in a thriller to Collingwood, the Dockers beaten by the Essendon Bombers

Even bigger news was at Osborne Pk in the Big 300, overwhelming favourite and at almost unbackable odds for the event, prolific winner Wanneroo's George Smith was defeated and not only just defeated but defeated in both games.
A huge sigh of relief swept thru the Osborne Pk Club house Club now knowing the seemingly invincible George could actually be beaten.

Well done to the winners, the Yokine duo of Richard D'Sousa and young Ben Horwood who are great supporters of the Big 300. Their best placing in this event was back in May when they snared second place.
Good to see them doing so well this weekend

As we know in this wonderful game of Lawn Bowls Consistency is important, we see the talented Wanneroo duo of Ron Bates who was the 2009 State Pairs winner and Geoff Gunning who has represented the Northern Territory in the State Senior sides series follow up on last week's second place by snaring second place once again, this week we notice they had a small increase in their shots up.
Congrats once again to these gentlemen

Ossy Park pair Carl Thompson and Brooke Newstead carried the flag for the home Club with a good performance to finish in 3rd place

Just remember everyone has a chance to win a prize and now that Wanneroo's George Smith has shown he is not invincible there is plenty of scope for all to win a prize.

Details

Kyle McIlroy has been in charge of running the W.A section of the Professional Bowls Association for the past five years.

He has done a wonderful job and because of his efforts we have seen three W.A players win a trip to the U.K. and really put W.A players on the world map so to say.

No doubt this is one of the best events of the year and well worth the entry fee when you consider what can be achieved

Congratulations to young 18 years old Kelli Rogalski on her selection in the Australian A team.

Having seen her in action at Broadbeach in the Sides series where she was outstanding in her role as a lead. It was here first time playing for WA in her short career

It was no surprise at all to be selected considering her form not only in the series but winning a Gold Medal in the Triples in the six a side series prior to the start of the Sides series. lets hope it is not too long before she represents Australia

Clive Adams was in sensationally good form during the Sides series also has won selection in the Australian A team. Well done Clive.

State team Bombshell at Broadbeach

April 19, 2012
Big news from Queensland, regarding State Skipper Daniel Trewhella, his place will be taken by Daniel Patterson.

Apparently Daniel Trewhella had broken a curfew and will miss the Sides series. That is all the info we have at the moment.

We have been mislead by the information that Daniel Trewhella was being sent home. This information is incorrect, he has not been sent home and is still in Qld. Sorry if we have offended

State side changes

April 20, 2012
The State side has been changed tp accomodate the loss of State Skipper Daniel Trewhella
The rinks could be as follows

K. McIroy (sk), D. Rankin, S. Withers, N. Stevens.
J.Sharp, (sk), J.Slavich, D. Patterson, C. Packer
J.Goddard (sk), P.Harris, R. Bresland, C.Adams

This is a possible lineup, Kyle McIlroy to take the skipper role and at the same time moving Steve Withers back from 3rd to a seconds role.
Dave Rankin moves up from a seconds role in Jon Sharp's rink to play 3rd to Kyle McIlroy.

Kyle McIlroy has previously skippered for W.A way back in 2005. Kyle was the best performed skipper in Premier League this season

Kind act of generosity

April 3, 2012
from time to time we hear about the not so good side of the sport, not all that often do we hear about the good side.
There are many volunteers involved in the sport that give up hours, weeks, months and years of their time to help their Club and the game in general.

Word filtered its way to me recently that a team competing in a Bayswater carnival won $1000 first prize. They donated $500 of the prizemoney back to the Club who were fundraising for an important project. Such kindness is rare these days.

Having a Ball

March 29, 2012
Sorry to say but we forgot to mention another Ball! Yes that makes 5 members of the Ball family involved in finals. We were unaware that Robbie Ball's young son Troy is also playing in the finals and if things work out he will become a pennant winner at such a young age.

We sure wish Troy and all the Ball family the best of luck in the finals

March 27, 2012
Yes sir, the famous Ball family are indeed having ball, all of them ! They have achieved much success winning many titles over the years

I am Just wondering if this could be some kind of record.

5 of the Ball family are playing Saturday Pennants, and all of them playing in the finals and at different Clubs.

Terry --.-- finals in One Blue Sth at Warnbro.
Robbie --- finals in Six Gold at the Valley.
Troy ........ finals in Six Gold at the Valley.
Norm ---- finals in Two Red at Kardinya.
Brad -...... finals in Premier League at Doubleview.

There is one more from the Ball family.

We Forgot about sister Dale from Bolgart, who has just been involved in back to back wins for her pennant team.

No doubt about it The Ball family are a very competitive group who just love their bowls and we take this opportunity to wish them all the best next weekend in their chase for ultimate success

Well done to BowlsWA

March 28, 2012
Well done to BowlsWA, they have pulled the right lever in selecting a venue North of the river for the Premier League, One White and Blue Grand Finals

There were several good choices to select from, Yokine was chosen and there is no secret about how good their greens and facilities are.

I am hopeful that the fixtures in future will be drawn up so that the Grand Final will be played before the football season starts.

The largest crowd at the Premier League final was when no AFL football match was played on Grand final day a few years back.
All it takes is to start the season 14 days earlier like they do in other States

Sadly as far as Bowls is concerned this Sunday sees the West Coast Eagles play the Western Bulldogs in Melbourne so there is no guessing where many would have been spectators will be spending their time.

Country Allstars roll the Metro in memorable win

March 1, 2012
For the first time in living memory the Country Allstars really upset the applecart when they defeated the Metropolitan State squad in a nailbiting thriller.
The results
The teams

Must add that what a good selection for the Country Allstars, Ken Pride and Roger Barns were in York recently when they spotted a player Jamie Conway, a young man who was playing in the Zone playoff and leading brilliantly. He was so good they invited him to be part of the Allstar team, Jamie performed outstandingly well last night to help his rink cause a boilover when the rink led by Brian Calthorpe defeated Jon Sharp's rink convincingly in a high standard contest.
Well spotted by Ken Pride and Roger Barns, there is a message there for all players

Doubleview Master Pairs Draw

February 15, 2012
It's that time of the year when the Doubleview Master Pairs which is one of the best events on the Bowling Calendar is on again.
This long running event has produced many highlights over the years.

Now in its 45th year the first Doubleview Master Pairs was won by W. Stephens and J. Webb way back in 1967,
The 2011 Master Pairs as won by Neil Payne and Farley Anderson.

This year has attracted another high standard field with many of the combinations in with a chance to share in the chop up and take home some of the $5000 prizemoney that is available.

The draw we have has been made for both Sundays and the event will be sectional play

It is important for playerss to please read the conditions of play, Doubleview have acted wisely to stop unnecessary player movement which has been a blight in all forms of Pairs play in the past

Doubleview PowerHouse too good for the Manning Eagles

January 30, 2012
THIS IS A ROUND 14 GAME PLAYED EARLY DUE TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN
The One White Doubleview PowerHouse who are in last place on the ladder surprised the bowling world when they smashed the second placed One White Manning Eagles side 94 - 51 at Manning on Sunday.

A huge win that has come out of the blue with Doubleview winning on all rinks.
This is the second 8 pointer for Doubleview who got one against Mt Pleasant a couple of round ago

Pat Buller....... 26

Tough and tight Buller led 17-14 with 4 ends to go put the foot down and accelerated away against the tough to beat John Francisco with 4, 1, 1, 3 to run out handy winners

Duty of care

January 26, 2012
I read with interest the BOWLSWA report of the Mens State Singles Final.

Apparently neither player was perturbed about the 42 degrees heat, so obviously the weather was not considered extreme and therefore no duty of care was required.

Congratulations to both players for putting on a great show, especially to Anthony for making it title number 4.

Scott Edmonds resigns

January 16, 2012
Scott Edmonds has resigned from the State squad. It is understood that he was unable to fully commit to to the program due to work committments.

Scott was very quick to say he fully supports the Coaching panel and believes they are on the right path going forward to the Sides series.

It is very unfortunate for Scott who was unlucky to not have made the side last year, he has been on the edge of selection for the past couple of seasons and would have been in with a big chance to represent W.A for the first time at Qld's Broadbeach Bowling Club.

Withdrawals
a fair go for all required

January 11, 2012
We spoke recently of giving Frank McGrath and fellow bowlers a fair go.

In last week's Bedford Bowl he had two withdrawals on the Friday before the Saturday start of play, the first withdrawal came at 1.00pm, tho inconvenienced Frank got on the blower and quickly arranged for another side to fill in, ok late withdrawal sorted.

Frank received another call at 6.00pm, boy of boy!! of all times to receive another withdrawal with only 15 hours till start time. Where are we going to get a replacement team in such a short time span, a team already entered and committed for the weekend now may have to miss out on getting a game.

Next morning with the event due to start there were two other sides that didn't front and no courtesy call to say why they weren't in attendance after having rang Frank to enter a side

The team that had been organized the night before was in attendance and ready to play but because of the two withdrawals and two sides not showing up, had to miss out and go home. It was very inconvenient for all concerned and rather thoughtless for fellow bowlers.

So I repeat to people who enter these events how about some consideration and a fair go for Frank and fellow bowlers before you decide to withdraw so close to start time or those that don't bother to turn up

Letter regarding State Squad additions

January 11, 2012
Well done to you Sherro for raising the issue in the first place.

You only put to paper what most of us were thinking.

It is pleasing to see the selectors are flexible and have acted for the greater benefit of bowls.

I am a Wings Evans fan and would be proud to see him represent our State again. He is an absolute gentleman, accepts the umpires decision, is committed to the game of bowls and most of all is a champion bowler.

The same could be said for Messrs Caffell and Payne.

Rule change a winner

January 3, 2012
There have been a couple of players beat the cut off time of 31st Dec 2011 to change clubs. Must say it is a good rule that keeps players playing.

North Beach player Mike Vitale has moved to the Stirling Club and Cambridge player Tony Walsh has joined Doubleview

When the rule first came into being that players could change clubs once the season has started, it was for the first five games of the season.
For what ever reason the rule was cut back to the first two games a year or two later. That move had me scratching my head as to why they would lower it to the first two games but that is what was bought in.
The cost to change clubs for the player is $100.00

A player can now change clubs up until the 31st Dec. which could be after 8 or 9 games depending on the program for the season up till Xmas. I applaud BowlsWA for this latest initiative.

Tyrone Alberti on the move

December 6, 2011
Sth Perth Miller Tyrone Alberti is a Miller no more, he is in fact now a Mosman Mozzie.
Due to a lack of opportunity at Sth Perth where he was a regular selection last season, Tyrone decided his best option was to join the Mosman Park Bowling Club.

Having seen Tyrone in action, Mosman will certainly get value from this player.

It is pleasing to see the revision of the rule where previously players could swap clubs up until the second game of the season, has been changed to nine games.

Everyone is a winner with this rule change and well done to BowlsWA for having the forsight to have a rule that keeps players playing, rather than the possibility of them dropping out for the rest of the season or for that matter, permanently

Stein Davies unavailable

December 6, 2011
Wannero Skipper Stein Davies, informed the Club he is not available to play pennants, for how long we do not know. We are not aware of the reason but this is a blow to the Club and their hopes of playing finals

This season he had three wins from six on the board in pennants and a semi-final placing in the State Fours

When Stein was playing at his best, Wannero were flying, he was regarded very highly in the bowling world, his future remains unknown.

Tony Kay has resumed a skippers role in place of Stein Davies.

Doubleview locker room raided
HONOUR AMONG THIEVES

November 8, 2011
Some good news for the Doubleview Bowlers who had their Bowls stolen last Friday.

They were dumped under trees nearby overnight and all have been retrieved – only minus any small change !!!
While it was a low act stealing the Bowls from the locker room, is was a good thing they were returned by who ever stole the Bowls and put in a place where they could be found.

November 5, 2011
The Doubleview Bowling Club locker room was raided by thieves last night while the Club was in full swing.

Around 12 bags of bowls, jackets and shoes have been stolen from the locker room.

Unfortunetly no one noticed the Bowls being stolen, Who would expect such a thing would occur on a Friday evening while there were people at the Club?

Bowlers in all Clubs will have to make sure they lock their lockers at all times .

This is not the first time this has occurred at a Bowling Club but is a salutary lesson to never take anything for granted and make sure your locker is locked at all times.

Bowlers please keep an eye out, who knows, someone might spot something that could lead to the recovery of this stolen equipment.

Where will they finish in the Premier League

October 27, 2011
The pennant season is almost here, it will be a difficult year to select winners on a regular basis.

Robbie Ball back on the pennant scene

November 8, 2011
We reported last week that Robbie Ball was seen at BowlsWorld in Osborne Pk being fitted out for some new shoes and strides, it was for good reason, he played his first pennant game for the Valley Bowling Club.

He last played pennants for Doubleview in the losing preliminary Final at Osborne Pk back in April 2010. His comeback is good news but the result was bad news playing 3rd to Graham Falconer in 3 White, they lost 16-21 to Innaloo's Bill Swarbrick.
However it is good to see the former Super Star back playing the game and the wins are sure to come

Andrew Ness is in an unassailable position and has won the State Blind Bowling Championship played at Perth Tatts.
He started out very well on the first day when he defeated an extremely good player in Dave Goddard, a bowler who has won and done most things in Blind Bowling events in Australia
Many thanks of course go to Andrew's director, State Selector Prickles Thorn who helped out on the first two days and to Tony Walsh who is doing the last two days for Andrew

Second day results

The W.A Blind Bowling Championships got underway yesterday at the Perth Tattersals club.
One of the directors was none other than Prickles Thorn, State Selector and man around town with his many duties at Doubleview.

Prickles has taken Cambridge player Andrew Ness under his wing so to say, some silly wag sugested if ever there was a true case of the blind leading the blind then this was it.

However I am having none of that and say well done to Prickles for giving up his time to help out in such a worthy cause as is the case of the other directors

Finals 19th

September 19, 2011

Semi-finals 10.00AM Final 1.00PM

Can giant killer Bedford's mighty Max Donovan continue his fairytale run to go all the way and win the Mt Lawley Consistency? His form says yes, he was super impressive in his great performance when he put Clive Adams down for the count to progress to the semi's

Will Kyle McIlroy win his second title, a huge possibility indeed, not forgetting he has also been a runner up as well. He has the eye of the Tiger and is my selction to win the event

The Valley's Joe Rollnik is on a roll and very capable of taking out this years event after ending Matt Ellul's hopes of winning this event,

Scott Edmonds is pressing his claim, he made the semi final of the last State Singles and was a runner up in that event in 2009 also has every reason in the book to win this event.
On most occasions the winner of the Mt Lawley Consistency is selected in the State team.

Wayne Coyle Men's State Coach

September 16, 2011
Congratulations to Wayne "Springer" Coyle on his appointment as the new men's State Coach, he replaces Brian Jepperson who was the Men's coach last season, Brian now will take on the Ladies coaching job. Assistant coach Geoff Ellis has stepped down....

Wayne played for PL with Cambridge some years back and now plays for Stirling, having done so for the last three seasons in the Premier League.
Wayne has plenty of coaching experience over the past 7 years including being the head of the development squad.
Other credits include a Country Week Singles title and also a runner up in that event to Jon Sharp along with being a runner up in the Country Week fours.

Must say that Brian Jepperson was a very likeable person who did his best for the side leaving no stone unturned in his endeavours to see the State side do well. No doubt the Ladies State team will benefit from his expertise

Wonderful evening at OP when Gary Caffell announced his intentions

August 9, 2011
The Osborne Park Saints held their Premiership dinner last Saturday evening with the majority of the players and their wifes/girlfriends in attendance.

It was a night full of fun and merriment with Ian Payne bringing the house down with his take on the season in general and the Grand Final victory.

He was able to take the mickey out of a few of the players that bought tears of laughter to your eyes.
It was a performance that will long be remembered, what a treasure they have in Ian Payne to be able to produce such an entertaining slant on the season. Players are still talking about it.
Well done to you Payney on your outstanding performance.

John Goddard also has a wicked sense of humour was also in the thick of things and we were treated to another performance from Banjo Nicol who recited his brilliant poem to great applause. All of this was combined with contributions from each of the players.

It is easy to see how the PL leadership group makes Osborne Park such a great Club to play bowls, with evenings like this that not only enhances what OP is all about, but also builds up so much camaraderie among the playing group.

It was at this function that Gary Caffell made his intentions known to the Club regarding next season.

Four rinks to stay in Premier League

June 15, 2011
The meeting with BowlsWA and the Club Presidents held at Cambridge last night saw the three rink rule that was to be in place for the upcoming season in Premier League League reversed and return to four rinks for the 2011 - 12 season. .

Apparently 5 Premier League Clubs that had originally supported the 3 rink rule reneged on their original decision and would prefer to stick with having four rinks this coming season.

They felt the decision to have 3 rinks for Premier League was too rushed and needed more time to evaluate the proposal.
All Clubs agreed there should be be a review of this decision sometime soon.

Rules Review

July 15, 2011
BowlsWA has recently completed a comprehensive review of our Field of Play Rules and the rules for Metro Pennants.
Must congratulate BowlsWA for this very timely review and taking action as soon as they have, I think most bowlers will see the common sense approach the committee have adopted to improve on existing rules.

It does make one wonder why previous Boards and committees didn't have the same foresight and acted in the same manner as this new committee which has been on the job only since last October.

They have moved very quickly to bring about some change which is very beneficial to the sport and I once again congratulate them on this initiative
