INNELLAN BOWLING AND TENNIS CLUB 2024 Archive Bowling Section PRESENTATION OF PRIZES Now that the Green has closed for the season, It's time for the Presentation of Prizes. I have been

& Wednesdays all November. It will be a buffet similar to last year's & I will confirm the cost once I know. Look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Raffle prizes would be most welcome too. Myra LADIES DAY
Sponsored by McLay Glass & Glazing Although I ordered the sunshine for our Ladies Day, I didn't expect it to be the hottest day of the year. I think the heat affected most of us but we got through it. 24 ladies from all six Cowal Clubs congregated on our Green on Sunday 8 September to play for the McLay Cup. The format was 12 pairs playing 5 games of 5 ends with the highest 4 teams going on to the semis. The pairs who qualified were:- Lydia Moodie (Ardentinny )& Anne Margaret Houston (Dunoon Argyll), Cathy Smith (Bogleha) & Elsbeth Brint (Ardentinny), Joan Evans (Ardentinny) & Karen Prevett (Innellan)& Mary Brooks (Dunoon Argyll)& Isabel Lauder (Bogleha). The final was a super game which was decided in an extra end. Congratulations to Joan & Karen who lifted the trophy with Lydia & Anne Margaret being the deserving runners up. The special prizes were won by Evelyn Pullar (Upper Cowal) & Louise Cannon (Dunoon Argyll) Thanks to our wonderful men who looked after us all day & to our caterer Andrew who served us a feast. Lots of goodies bags were available. Our very special thanks to Jake McLay for his continued support to our wee Club. Haste ye Back Myra ROYAL BAR CHALLENGE SHIELD
The Club
held its Open Pairs today with 48 bowlers from Cowal
& Rothesay. It was only right then that the final was between pairs from both of these Clubs & a very exciting final it was. Well done to both pairs as they played through the pouring rain. Rachel Gillies & Cammy Boyd from Kirn took on David & Kieron Reynolds from Rothesay with Kirn taking the shield by one shot. Congratulations to them all & to the semi finalists from Dunoon Argyll (Craig Houston & Stevie Girvan) & Paige Gillan & Andy Scott from Kirn. Thanks also to all the workers today as without these folks our clubs just wouldn't survive. Last but certainly not least thanks once again to Martin & Liz of the Royal Bar, Innellan for their continued sponsorship. Have to mention also that it was great to see Rachel hugging her shield as we dropped her off at home. Winning that first cup is always very special. THANKYOU TO CO-OPERATIVE FUNERALCARE - DUNOON
The Club was delighted to receive 12 bowling mats and 12 scorecard holders from the Dunoon Branch of Co-op Funeralcare. This has been a great boost to the Club as several of our mats are rather the worse for wear. President John was happy to welcome Scott Richmond, Manager, to accept this kind donation.
