Thursday April 14th saw 16 members arrive at Sunbury BC on what has become a typical
Melbourne day.... drizzle. Players were organised into four groups consisting of four player.
Each person played each other once and two game winners from each group progressed.
With some hard fought battles on each rink the Singles were well and truly alive. Highlight
from Rnd 1 was Richard Lowman’s first victory ever... great work considering it’s only your
third time playing. After a few rain delays and some very tight matches the following emerged
from the battles on the greens
Group 1 - Duncan Knox
Group 2 - Gary Van Kessel
Group 3 - Adam Shawcross
Group 4 - Max Carroll
Semi Finals saw Duncan play Max and Adam battle Gary...Adam again fell short in the semi
for the third year in a row just going down, while Duncan just snuck past Max for a finals
berth.
Grand Final D.Knox v G Van Kessel....... what a game, with it being close the whole way
through... Duncan picking up a three, the following end Gary returning suit..... In a game
superbly marked by the President Duncan was able to just sneak by a hard finishing Gary
7 - 6 and claim his 8th Singles title... Well done.
President Dyson thanked the boys from Sunbury BC for their hospitality and also to Golf &
Bowling Machinery for their continued support for not only this day but towards the VGA in
general. Thanks to those who made the trip out... special mention to Sharpy... great to see
you again...
