They were also League Leaders and managed an impressive 11-3 win. Our three points came from a 21- all draw from Janet Parsons, Carol Smith and Mike Stone and a winning rink of Hilary Cronk, Phil Pape and Margaret Finlayson.
Oh dear our Winter League not doing very well at the moment. At least we are consistent but unfortunately it was a 10 – 2 loss again. So far we have had a different winning rink each time. This time we were away at Monte Mar who seem to be going along nicely. Our marvellous winning rink was our beloved Captain, Dave Hadaway who was greatly helped by Ann Stone and Kathy and Jim Manning and won 19 – 9. Our Berleen team of the Taylors, Mo and Dave with Margaret and Barry Sadler won 21 – 13.

We won the overall points by one shot to give us a 7 all draw.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB.
Monday morning found The Pintos entertaining The Monte Mar Toreadores, on an overcast start which soon changed to a hot, shade searching day. We had some splendid matches and great company, on the whole. Ending with The Pintos taking 5 rinks and the overall shots, our rink being the losing rink, though it was close all the way and being level into the last end. In the afternoon The Broncos, having a bye in the league, played a friendly against a Vistabella team, who also had a bye.
