Hello Bowlers,

The completion of Round 5 saw Rosanna teams clinch two wins and a loss by only one shot.  It leaves the Club in a very good position with only two rounds to play before the half way mark of the season.

The First side went to Ivanhoe and were stiff to go down by one shot overall, however, they picked up 4 points which puts them in 4th spot on the ladder, with 38 points.  Next Tuesday they entertain Preston-Reservoir 1 at Rosanna.  P-R are in 3rd spot on 44 points.  It should be a keen tussle.

Rosanna 62, Ivanhoe 63, minus 1.

Jack Dunbar, Margaret Hunt, Peter Livingstone and Warren Williams, 26 – 17, plus 9.

Chris Ball, Tony Campbell-Burns, Jim Gregory and Alan Mason, 27 – 18, plus 9

Gwenda Bail, Kevin Meade, Jeff Cook and Damian Crea, 9 – 28, minus 19.

The Second side played North Balwyn at home and had a strong 19 shot win.  This places them at the top of the ladder with 67 points, and facing off against Heidelberg Golf in round 6, at HG.  They are in 5th spot on 36 points.

Robin Doherty, Colin Watson, Peter Bell and Glenn Lyons, 25 – 9, plus 16.

Louisa Hemingway, Paul Gregory, Veronika Crea and Leo Bosso, 29 – 19, plus 10.

Rob Barclay, Lorraine Campbell, John Aldridge and Mil Crea, 20 – 27, minus 7.

Rosanna 74, North Balwyn 55, plus 19.

The Third side stayed at home to entertain Diamond Creek, and blitzed with all rinks up, putting them on top of the ladder with 75 points.  They stay at home next Tuesday, and host Greensborough 3, who are 7th on 26 points.

Terrye Meade, Rob Hunt, Phil Hynes and John Head, 26 – 12, plus 14.

Paul Bassett, Tony Canty, Ken Barr and Don Casey, 30 – 11, plus 19.

Noel Broadhurst, Alan Phillips, Ray Prestney and Russell Hyde, 26 -17, plus 9.

Rosanna 82, Diamond Creek 40, plus 42.

Best winning rink was Paul Bassett, Tony Canty, Ken Barr and Don Casey, 19 shots up.

And congratulations to Jim Gregory who chalked up his 400th Club game for Rosanna.  Well done William James.

That’s it for this week.

Keep ’em rolling.
