Chermside Bowls Club was the venue for Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers Association Inc on Sunday 11th September 2022. We had 24 players from 13 Clubs competing. We had players from Toombul, Northern Suburbs, Caboolture Lakes, Coorparoo, Pine Rivers, Aspley, Narangba, Kallangur, Bramble Bay, Glasshouse, Samford and Brighton competing. It was a great effort from all who attended!

Marko Kendes (Toombul) and Ken Nelson (NSBC) were the winners of our 2x4x2 Pairs Event with a 2 + 22 and Runners up were our Judy Wyman (Caboolture Lakes) and Max Drysdale (Coorparoo) with 2 + 13. It was a hard fought competition again.

Graeme Pitt and Pat Fitzell (Pine Rivers) were the winners of our 3 Bowls Pairs with a 2 + 5 and Runners Up were Russell Walmsley and Martyn Walton (Glasshouse) with a 2 + 3.

Overall winners for the day were Ken Nelson (NSBC) and Marko Kendes (Toombul) with a 4 + 23 and Runners Up were Graeme Pitt and Pat Fitzell (Pine Rivers) and Peter Leddy and Rob Glazebrook (Aspley) with a 4 + 8. It doesn’t get tighter than that.

There were a lot of closely fought games on the day.

I would like to thank Chermside Bowls Club for their continued support and lovely sandwiches and catering for the day. We hope to see you again in 2023.

Our random draw was Sponsored by Progressive Realty – Linda Walters as usual and we give a big thank you to Linda for her continued support.

After the first 5 rounds of the Medals for 2022 the competition is close with Graeme Pitt (Pine Rivers) sitting in the Gold Medal position on 12.5 points, Pat Fitzell (Pine Rivers) in the Silver Position with 11.5 points and Bob Glazebrook (Aspley) in the Bronze position with 10.5 points.

A few changes this month.

There is lots of time to catch up so come along and gain those points. The system is 1 point for attendance and 1 point per win, so you can accrue 3 points every month. We look forward to seeing you at Narangba on Sunday 14th August 2022.

We have 1 new member this month, in John Swift (Aspley). John will be playing with us at Woodford.

So be sure and make John feel welcome to the BNABAi when you next meet up with them.
