CHERRY ST SANDFLIES

A nice gentle 20klm breeze straight off Mt. Kosciusko ski grounds tended to make some a bit shy of the Northern end of the green on Sunday morning.

The more 'delegate' Sandflies were reaching in the old bowls bag grabbing a jacket but most put up with the bit of chill in the air which I personally prefer rather then that bloody real hot humid days, however, any days above the green stuff is a bargain so most take what is dished out no worries.

Winners on the day were Keith Spearing, Paul Buckingham and Stewie Weller just sneaking a 20 to19 against Little Joe, Knackers and Franky Reardon.

Runners up was a pairs game and that was They Call me Bruce and former South Sydney great Col Pittman going down in another close 18 to 20 against Allan Britt and Col Siviour. Rumours hit the club on Sunday morning re the death of a former regular Sandflies player, Freddy Weidesweiler. The Sandflies nicknamed him Freddy 'Nonthewiser' as it easier for some to spell but don't let that nickname fool you as he was a champion bowler and took no prisoners on the green. Preso Johnny Harley sends, on behalf of the Sandflies, many condolences to Kaye and family for their time of grief.

The Sandflies AGM is next Sunday morning so please try and be at the club at 0845 for 0900 meeting. A moments silence will be held for Fred during the meeting.

A surprise $2 Schooner Day coming up so get down to Ballina's Premier and only Bowling Club - Cherry Street Sports any Sunday morning for a game with the Sandflies.
