Cambridge sign up a superstar
July 22, 2008
The Cambridge Knights have signed up Pieter Harris to play for the club this coming season.
Pieter Harris stayed in the country last season but has now moved to live in the city. It will be a welcome relief to not have to do the huge amount of traveling he had done for many years
This is a signing of huge proportions and a much needed one if they are to be contenders for the Premiership.
Pieter Harris has been the most consistent skipper at State level over the past five seasons. In his first season at Bedford in 2005/6 he was the best performed skipper in the premier League with 13 wins 5 losses + 62 shots up.
This signing now completes the line up of the skippers for the knights with the well performed Trystan Smallacombe and the Jones Boy along with the untried skipper at this level, David Opie.
Comparing the skippers of Cambridge to the skippers at Doubleview and Vic Park they stack up at least as good or better.
It now becomes a battle of who has the best depth of talent after the skips with these three clubs.
We can't comment about The Osborne Park Saints till their list is done and dusted
There will be some great games between these clubs and something to look forward to this coming season

Amazing statistic provided on the observers page Sherro about the many people playing on \"non grass surface\" this upcoming weekend.
Is it a sign of the future? I hope not!
Here in Tassie we are all playing on grass and have a reserved day just in case of rain.
I think I\'m from the old school and still love playing on grass but it\'s a shame to see ecominic viability continue to creep into such a wondeful sport and pastime for the 8 year olds to the 80 year olds.
Good luck to everyone playing for a pennant this weekend. That\'s what the sport is all about.

Unfortunately the event has coincided with the PBA event and we are left a couple of players short (myself included!). It\'s a great day bowling against top quality bowlers and it all aids the Princess Margaret Hospital.
For $25, all proceeds go to charity, over $100,000 to date in nearly 30 years, a bowler can have the chance to represent Australia.

Jon Sharp wins the Eddy/Wishart medal
April 3, 2008
Jon Sharp capped off a memorable Interstate Sides series by winning the Eddy/ Wishart medal. Jon was in scintialting touch throughout the carnival and as early as wednesday it appeared that the medal was his. Jon has had an enormous season and to win the medal has capped of a remarkable year for the Doubleview PowerHouse skipper.
It was noticable that Jon was unfazed when the pressure was on him to produce match winning bowls under severe pressure. On most occasions he produced the goods.
Jon is quite a modest man and would rather deflect praise about his game and give praise to his team mates.
Jon Sharp a great skipper for W.A
------
Another player to rank right up there was Russell Hughes. Those who were lucky enough to see him sizzle in a pressure cooker enviroment today where he produced all the razzle dazzle to get his rink over the line to win his game today with a 10/10 rating, leaving no one in any doubts about his great ability.

The first challenge in W.A as far as we are aware has taken place regarding the legality of bowls used in a Club Championship game.
The famous Eaton Bowling Club down Bunbury way started their Club Championship Singles on sunday.
Gordon won the game 21/7. Straight after the game Ian Lodged an appeal to have the bowls that Gordon was using to be tested.
They say it was almost straight up the green with very little bias needed to be taken.
There is no animosity between the two players with this appeal.
We await the out come of the result of this appeal and let everyone know the result

Controversy at the Australian Open
Young Victorians Paul Williamson and Scott Mortimer have moved through to the second round of the ABN AMRO Australian Open pair in controversial fashion after their challenge on the legitimacy of their opponents’ bowls was upheld.
Initially defeated by Tasmanian state champions Tim Douce and Ricki Richardson 8-6, 10-2, Williamson launched a challenge after concerns at the lack of finish on Douce’s bowls.
“I’ve never seen bowls that tight, they were just going straight,” Williamson said.
“They were taking less than a foot of grass on the right hand.”
Following tests at Henselite, the bowls were unable to meet the required standards of the crystal mark edition of the laws of bowls, and as a result, the Tasmanian pair was subsequently disqualified.
As per the rules of the game, however, he will now be given the opportunity to appeal to Bowls Australia.
Douce later admitted he was surprised to hear his relatively new bowls were unable to pass the test.
“They are a tight set, but I thought they’d be alright, so yeah I’m pretty disappointed,” Douce said.
Williamson and Mortimer now face Commonwealth Games single’ gold medallist Kelvin Kerkow and partner Shannon Gittoes in the second round.
“I’ve never played against Kelvin before so it’ll be fun whatever happens,” Williamson said.
The young Victorian, however, remains concerned he’ll be subject to a backlash from fellow bowlers following this morning’s controversy.
“Even if we go on and win the whole tournament, I’m worried our reputation is still going to be tarnished,” Williamson said.

How would you like to cop this ?

Sherro,
Please note also in news from over the Australian Open that Darryl Stewart and Scott Walker, who are both attending on scholarships from the South Perth Millers, won all three of their matches in the Pairs yesterday and have progressed through to the main draw.
An interesting rule is the \"ring the bell\" when time is up -
I believe a maximum of two hours - when bowls must stop, even in mid end and the scores count as the end stands !
In their second match at one set all, down by three shots on the board in the decider, but holding four on the last end, the opposing skipper approached the mat AND THE BELL RANG !
Not permitted to play the last bowl of the match, the boys scored a four, got up by one and won the section !
Good grief.

Boy! oh Boy! the umpire of the day has made a huge blue here looking at the conditions of play
