No After Pennants Food at Some Clubs

Good luck to the 1300 or so bowlers starting the 2021 Bowls Central Coast State Pennants Competition tomorrow (6/3/2021). We trust that we will be able to finish the competition this year. Thank you to the Zone Match Committee for preparing the competition and not forgetting the hard work of each of our 21 Club's Pennants Selectors who would have agonised over the side selections. It's a difficult job. You have to follow complex rules and you can't please everybody.

This is a reminder that some Clubs are having difficulties, unique to each Club, in the provision of snacks/food after the completion of Pennant games. These issues have been compounded with the Covid 19 requirements on the preparation and serving of food which are quite onerous.

The following clubs have advised us that they will no longer be providing food, after each Pennant Round. However, refreshments will be available and visiting sides are encouraged to have a drink or two, not necessarily alcoholic, with their opposition before leaving the Club.

Clubs not serving food after Pennants:

Breakers BC Wamberal

Davistown RSL

Diggers @ The Entrance

Everglades Country Club

Gosford City

Mingara

Munmorah United

The Entrance

Umina Beach

Central Coast U18s Win Metrop Shield

In a magnificent effort the Bowls Central Coast Under 18 Side were victorious in the Under 18 Metropolitan Shield played today (28/2/2021)at Wyong Bowling Club. Playing against sides from Greater Western Sydney, the Illawarra and Central and Southern Sydney, it was the Coasties that prevailed. This follows the equally magnificent win by the Under 25 Side in the U25 metropolitan Series with a Side that contained 6 U18 players in the Side of 9 players.

The Central Coast Side was:
Team 1 Sam Griffiths (Terrigal), Josh Smith (Munmorah United), Blayne Cook (Mingara) and Bailey Meti (Ettalong Mem)
Team 2 Luke Burton (Terrigal), Billy Waite (Mingara), Reegan Peterson (Toukley Dist) and Brendan Stokes (Ettalong Mem)
Team 3 Zane Archer (Terrigal), Olivia Crane (Munmorah United), Chelsea McKay (Bateau Bay) and Brandon Willmette (Gosford City)

The event was decided with a last match showdown between the undefeated sides of Central Coast and the powerful Illawarra Side who have won the great majority of these events in the past. The Central Coast Side won convincingly with two rink wins and drew the other. It was most noticeable that the Central Coast Side won their ends with outstanding front end bowling by the leads and 2nds that lay a great foundation for the 3rds and Skips. Central Coast has only competed in three of these events and has now won two of them.

Particular congratulations to U18 Bowls Coordinator John Roberts without forgetting the great groundwork done by the previous Bowls Coordinator, Paul Wesche.

Open Fours

Bateau Bay are the 2021 Zone Open Fours Champions. Peter McCarten, Jeff Watson, Chayne Edwards and Rodney Rewko have claimed the Zone Fours Title defeating Ettalong’s Glen Daley, Glen Simmington, Greg Shirley and Lee Patterson 25-12. The score did not reflect the game as Patterson’s team was leading earlier in the game but then the Bateau Bay boys just played insanely well for the rest of the game.
We wish the Bateau Bay team good luck in the state finals later this year.
