Garlick Gilhooley Round 4 - 6, 2008 - Moama, August 2008.


 

Recently, the Race for the Annual Garlick-Gilhooley Trophy was concluded on our August Weekend in Moama.

Jack McFarlane, the leader with 3 wins after the Albury Weekend, only won 1 game out of 3 in Moama, to finish fourth.

Kevin Mansbridge, another Life Member and long time supporter, won his 3 games in the Moama weekend, but could not quite make up the deficit, only winning 2 games in Albury.  Kevin was in third place.

Monica Bayona, just behind Jack after Albury on shots up, won the first 2 games, but lost the last game, to be the runner-up this year!  Well done Monica.

Michael (“Mick”) Szcykulski from Seymour VRI Bowls Club, was in the running with 3 wins after Albury, and continued his winning ways, being the only member who won 3 games on both weekends!  Mick was awarded the Garlick Gilhooley trophy for 2008 at Moama, following the third game on Sunday.  Congratulations Michael, and all player who took part in Albury and Moama – it is great to see so many members joining in!

In Moama, 58 members played bowls, a near record for the tournament – lets keep the strength going in our other games, leading up to the 2010 ANZRI Bowls Carnival, in Ballarat.

It was pleasing to see so many members and family joining in the fun of the weekends away, in Albury, Mulwala and Moama.  Our thanks to Secretary Bob, Committee and Selectors, for giving us such a great time away in the Winter!  Looking forward to the future games ahead over Summer now.
