Ashy in Finals Again
Two Ashburton Bowls Club played off in the prestigious
Southern Indoor Bowls Club 2008 Ladies Pairs Final on Saturday,
August 16th. 2008.
Patricia O’Shea (Skip) and Lyn Maloney, following a successful
campaign in NSW at Batemans Bay, have followed up their strong
work, by reaching the Grand Final at Southern Indoor in 2008.
Southern Indoor, well known for grooming the many talented
players of Lawn Bowls in their development, and honing the
skills of all players in the Winter season, is an excellent
Green Gauge surface.
“We were very excited to be in the final!" Play was tight
and competitive, but unfortunately were outplayed by the winners
on the day!
Go Ashy Go!

Ashy Win Indoor Finals
Ashburton’s Tuesday night side won the 2008 on the
12th of August pennant in a dominant performance against
Blackburn at Blackburn RSL.
The Side consisting of
Bryan Reede, lead; Pat Ades, Second; Liz Kortum, Third;
and Roger Cawsey, Skip; playing on a fast but biased to
one side mat matched it with Blackburn in the first
three or four ends before settling down.
Bryan “Mr Ever Reliable” Reede struggled early to get
the pace but Pat Ades, starting well, converted on a
number of occasions allowing Liz and Roger to add to the
count putting real pressure on the opposition.
After 9 ends Ashburton was 10 shots up thanks to two
penalty ends where we were gifted 6 shots and a great
conversion shot played by Roger for three shoots.
Having the mat, Roger decided to go for long ends and
found Blackburn unable to handle them. Then
Bryan found his range and Liz, who had struggled on the
narrow side switched hands and played some magnificent
bowls putting even more pressure on the opposition who
only won two more ends (one shot each). A great
all round team performance.
When 2 or 3 members of a team play well a side becomes
hard to beat but when all members of a team play very
well they can dominate good sides. This Team has
won its last three matches with an aggregate of 66 shots
up and each game better that the previous against good
opposition so this Ashburton side is a very good side
now working well together as a team.
All in all
a great victory enjoyed the team and by the Ashburton
supporters who turned out in great numbers.
Other Ashburton players who were part of the Tuesday
night competition need to be recognised or their
contribution throughout the season and this victory is
in no small measure thanks to their part as well.
So
thanks go to Jim Monaghan, Annette Campbell, Nick Ryan
and Ray Namour.

Schools
at Ashburton
Ashburton Bowls Club is happy to host a school group, to
promote the great game of Lawn Bowls, and show what can
be done on the green!
Pictured left are some of the students who visited in May from Saliesan College. A good time was had by
all, and the students learnt about team play, and how to
play Bowls in a friendly atmosphere over a series of weeks. If you or your school are interested in participating in
the schools program with Ashburton, please call David
Patterson on
