Myrtleford breeze through to decider

MYRTLEFORD’S midweek A2 bowls side was never really challenged as they easily accounted for Moira in the semi-final at Wangaratta Bowls and Sports Club. By winning 74/45, they have earnt a place in the grand final. The best rink was that of Michael Dwyer, Michelle Van Praagh, Wally Dunstone and Jim Murtagh. Lance Symons’ team also played well, winning 28/13, while Greg Robbin’s team went down 15/21. Meanwhile the midweek B1 team kept their finals season alive by beating Wangaratta at Milawa. Although the outcome was never in doubt, only seven points separated the two sides at the finish where Myrtleford won 58/51. Strongest on the day was Lindsay Hamilton’s team with Geoff Dyt, Phyllis Swindley and Norman Hallett winning 24/12. Les Brown’s team chipped in with a win 20/15 and Colin Smith’s rink lost 14/24. It wasn’t the result the Myrtleford weekend B2 teams were hoping for when they were beaten by Club Mulwala in the preliminary final at Corowa Civic Bowls Club, going down 53/62. The only highlight was a gutsy performance by Lindsay Hamilton’s team, winning 26/15. With Hamilton was Terry McCaw, Norman Vonarx and Dawn Murtagh. On the other rinks, Jon Dunell’s team lost 12/18 and Helen Murtagh’s team were beaten 15/29. Their season is now over. As the bowling year draws to its end, club championship results start to filter through. Mikey Clayton, who started three shots behind, quickly overtook nemesis Terry McCaw to win the men’s handicap singles championship 25/10, with a masterful demonstration of precise bowling.
