Another weekend, another win for Scott Laffer
Following on from his good form winning the Zone 9 Rookies Pairs last Saturday, Scott is continuing his success in taking out the Zone 9 Rookies Singles title. After three rounds of sectional games played on Saturday, 20 October, Scott made his way into the semi-finals. The two semi-finals were played on the following day. Scott won his semi-finals match against Michael Auld (Pittwater Memorial) convincingly 17:8. Scott started well in his finals match against another Pittwater Memorial player Pat Eather leading by 14:2. However, his opponent caught up by 3 consecutive 2’s and followed by a single shot to be only 5 behind. Scott steadied himself and dug deep to finally take out the match with a score of 17:11. Congratulations Scott!

Spring Carnival 2018
Well for the “The Seekers” the carnival may have been over but the after glow still lingers following our Spring Carnival at Killara Bowling Club held on Monday 10th September.
The Bowling Gods ensured that the day broke in brilliant sunshine after days of rain as 84 players in 28 teams gathered at the Club in preparation for some terrific competition, peppered with impossible shots pulled off effortlessly, along with the odd wrong bias.
There were 12 clubs represented from all over Sydney and the total prize money taken away was almost $1400 with winning teams from Pennant Hills, Mosman, North Epping and the major winners, a composite team comprising Messrs Cavendish, Anderson and Foy taking out the big prize.
A special thanks to the organisers, Bob Hill and David Martin and our in house catering team headed by Suzen and her daughter Kate along with a multitude of able helpers who together ensured a fantastic lunch was very professionally organised and presented and that all the results were tabulated and displayed in a timely manner and to Harris Farm for donating a raffle prize.
There is nothing half so nice as gently rolling a bowl along a finely manicured grass surface while chatting with new and old mates out of doors on a beautiful day in picturesque surroundings and all the while getting some exercise into the bargain.
And then followed up with a glass of beer or wine or something soft in the superb Clubhouse afterwards – talk about spoilt!
Killara ladies reached State Champion of Club Champions Pairs semi-finals
Ngoc Hau (Lead) and Louise Amos (skip) played their way into the semi-finals of the 2018 State Champion of Club Champions Pairs held on 2-5 October at Rosehill Bowling Club.
They had a BYE in the first round and played their second round on the morning of 2 October which they won 18:16 over Wiseman Park. They returned the following day to play against St Johns Park whose skip is a Grade 1 Pennant player and won by 21:17. The fourth round took place on the morning of 4 October against Merrylands which was played in challenging conditions with heavy and wet green. Ngoc and Louise were able to adapt to the conditions better and won by a convincing score of 20:5.
The weather took a further downward turn in the afternoon when Ngoc and Louise had to play their quarter-finals match against Debbie Kelly and Kim Suckley from Wiseman Park (ex Dapto). It was raining heavily with all players completely soaking wet. However, all 4 players were determined to finish the match and get into the semi-finals. After playing 18 ends, the score was even at 16:16. They had to play an extra end to find a winner, with Killara winning by one shot!
The semi-finals match took place on Friday morning, 5 October. Killara was neck and neck playing against Bomaberry until the 11th end when the opposition team took 5 shots, followed by 4 shots in the next end. Killara went down in the end and lost their hope of getting into the final.
It was a good effort and great achievement playing at a State level competition.
