Beverly Hills 24 Long Beach 6

Captain Bill Wolff knew Beverly Hills needed a big win against Long Beach so he decided not to play and got Hall of Famer Ann Barber out of retirement. The strategy was not working; after 8 ends in the rinks it was LB 10 BH 3. But then the chemistry started to work and led by Never Nervous Neville BH went on to win 20-13 [8-2]. Neville and Allen had a solid win in one pairs [8-2]. Joe and Ann were down 8-0 after 5 but won the second 5 12-0. Bowling is a strange game. Joe had some amazing shots and won 8-2. Final score BH 24- LB 6.

Beverly Hills 21 Alhambra 9

It was a cold Saturday, and Alhambra discovered the real grass at Beverly Hills was trickier than their carpet. The problem was it was tricky for everybody. Alhambra started strong in the rinks but gave up a 6 and ended up losing by 5. BH split the pairs with both games being decided by great shots in the final end. BH 21 AL 9 but it should have been 15 -15. [Bill Wolff]

Sun City I 16 San Diego 14

I watched this game personally as I made a visit in the afternoon to Sun City. The game was exciting, but even more exciting was the traffic accident that occurred on the road during the game. Because I had my cell phone on me, I called 911 immediately, and was gratified with a response of paramedics within a few minutes. Fortunately there were only minor injuries involved. [Editor]

Sun City II 11 Newport 19

Again my enjoyment of this game was cut short by the traffic accident. However, from what I saw Sun City made a creditable effort in holding a star-studded Newport team. It was a rather cold day, but the green seemed to be running well, and it was fun watching the two teams compete. For those that have not been to Sun City in a while, they have made some construction changes, and have their closest green out of commission for maintenance.

Santa Monica 26 Santa Monica 4

I made a fleeting visit to Santa Monica, during a trip that also took me to Beverly Hills and then out to Sun City. At that point in the rinks, Santa Monica had gone into an 8-0 lead by the third end. During the next seven ends, Santa Anita had pulled it back to 11-10, and it looked like the momentum was in their direction. I was very surprised when the result was emailed to me. [Editor]

Again my thanks to all clubs for making me very welcome as I visit. [Editor]

Note: On January 20^th – Riverside 18 Newport 12

Newport Harbor came to Riverside and played the match that had originally scheduled for Jan 19 but by mutual agreement was changed to Jan 20.

It was a cool, crisp morning that turned into a cloudless and beautiful day. The morning fours match was bowls at its classic finest, with all players aware that no matter how quickly any of us pushed through our games, we were all destine to miss both National Football League championships that were being played that Sunday on TV.

When the dust finally settled, the Meltons and Mummas of Riverside had outplayed their distinguished visitors, earning 9 bonus points to Newport's 1.

Charlie Hubert and Dave Stennis returned the favor by handing Larry and Judai an 8 to 2 loss in the afternoon pairs. But Conrad and Jo were able to squeak past Ed Quo and Shep Sheppard by 7 to 3, thus earning Riverside the overall win, with a final cumulative score of 18 to 12.

Newport 30 San Diego 0

As the rain quit and the sun came out, the team from San Diego drove up to Newport Harbor to enjoy a beautiful Saturday.

Although, the final score of the match seemed a little one-sided, each game was pretty tight.

The green turned out to be slower than everyone thought, so Howard had a tough time finding holes through some of the short bowls, with his narrow bowls.

Brian skipped as Phil lead for their pairs against Howard and Brenda. Charlie skipped as Brad lead for their pairs against Christine and Melanie.

Both Newport Harbor pairs teams were able to hold of the formidable teams from San Diego.

The day began with smiles all around as players and others in attendance discovered that both teams consisted of a gentleman captain and three ladies. Conrad with Kottia, Judai and Theota vs. Howard, Christine, Melanie and Linda, San Diego's outstanding novice from South Africa.
