Now now Gary has all that alcohol from the weekend made your brain go all mushy? Lol

I'm sure we've had this discussion before about forgetting the women.....

Yes ..... and Yes

Actually there have been two or three late changes and i can't remember who is in and who is out .. Fiona Gorfine (Bagg) was number 7 but i don't think she is bowling so obviously someone else is... I just don't know who.

 

[Gatsby]

Any chance of someone posting some progressive standings for todays Women's zone final at Warrnambool... please

 

[Purple_Tweety]

Are the men and women bowling on different days? Hmmm that's interesting. Is the zone playing a positional round too? Our zone next week is all together, both bowling over two days and no positional.

 

[Gatsby]

Men and women different days Paige. 7 teams plus one bye = 7 games - no positional round. As you have 6 teams you are probably doing two rounds = 10 games. We did that last year but still had men and women on separate days (although it had to be because colac did not have enough lanes)

 

[craig]

werribee
geelong

Thanks Craig - so Werribee and Geelong are final bound and rest are headed to repechage.

Thanks for the update on the women. I'm impressed someone made the effort!! LOL

Still crying?

glad i didnt put odds on todays result

I could have told you that North would've won today!

 

[craig]

hahahaha

nice call buddy, good to see you have your sense of humour in tact, unlike me i would have been fuming having the odds on favourite run 5th.

 

[Phluff]

Still crying?

Got over it on the bus trip home, was just confirming that's all.:surrender: I thought everyone was doing the same this year.
For us, men finishing 2nd and ladies 3rd after playing everyone was never something we expected going into the event where only 1 of the 14 bowlers had bowled emerson before. Regardless of positionals one of our teams wouldn't have made it. We were just enjoying the day.
Of course it wasn't the greatest way to finish, but these things happen and now it's on to repacharge at a center with the lane surface / approach / machines / oil pattern all our bowlers know well.

 

[xpense]

Now Hayesy,

I see there must have been a last minute shake up at Melton...... You had been equalized by the great centre, and all the other centres were asking to draft you in.......

But when l see the results, you have bowled..... You've been keeping a secret from us
