The weather was once again kind to us today with sunny skies and a touch of spring in the air. The greens were once again running well and proving to be a challenge for bowlers used to slow to medium pace.
This was the second round of qualifying sectional play with 48 bowlers vying for a place in Wednesday's play. A few upsets with Ian Binder (Port City) taking out section 7 against Andy Pascoe, a recent transfer from Engadine to Port City and Jim Cranna (Port City), a last minute replacement player taking out section 5.
Section 12 saw Shane Garvey (Engadine) up against Paul Cousins (Maitland City) with Shane taking the head to head match 21 - 11 and winning the section with 3 wins. Last year's runner up Clay Parker (Maitland City) went down in section 6 to young gun Jessie McKenzie (Merrylands) .
Local players through to the next round include Ken Paulsen (Port City), John O'Neill (Port City), Joel Bourke (Kempsey Heights), David Gabb (Port City), Allan Carver (Coffs Ex Services) ,Bryon Cullen ( Stuarts Point) & Jim Cranna (Port City)
With many of the top players through to tomorrow's play we can anticipate some top bowling at Port City. Come out and enjoy the competition and cheer on your favourites!

The work you do is worthy of many more comments than you get. Congratulations on a job brilliantly done, I know you like doing it but it is very time consuming. You go to a lot of trouble. Great stuff.
To Smitty.
I went to your site today as I had heard 2 friends of mine namely Jim Cranna (one of your own) and Jessie McKenzie had both made it through the sectionals and are in fact to play against each other. I just want to congratulate you on the posting of some good info and excellent photos. I have concerns that the photo of the mixed pairs final doesn't seem too mixed.
well done

Steve,
Many thanks for your comment. I passed it on to both Jim & Jessie. I don't have the results of their head to head match but Alan Carver (Park Beach) took out that section to progress to the quarter finals.
Glad you enjoyed the photo of the mixed pairs. I am always conscious of the players but when I walked by with the camera the two skips had to pose!
Cheers, Smitty
