Over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd March, 2003 the roll-offs were held at Kirwan to decide the NQ Rachuig sides.
After 16 gruelling games (anyone who bowled knows what I am talking about) the teams were as follows (Top 5 past the post + 2 selections);
Men
Steve FORSTER
Graham GRIMES
Stephen HUNT
Tyson JONES
Angelo NUCIFORA
Sam NUCIFORA
Barry PARK
Women
Veronica ACRES
Tina GATES
Leigh HARRIS
Madeleine HILL
Kate MURRY
Val PRIEN
Lorraine RIORDAN
Special mention must go to the following people;
Angelo Nucifora - for one of the most courageous performances I have seen in 25 years of bowling. This guy had an absyss in his mouth that made it look like he had swallowed two golf balls. He was in all sorts of pain, yet stuck with it to bowl himself into the top 5. Ang you truly are a "Freak".
Ian Waters (Proprietor of Kirwan Lanes) - For challenging the bowlers of NQ by putting down some of the worst conditions I have ever bowled on. This man went above and beyond the call of duty by advertising a month before the roll-off that people could come and practice on the exact condition that would be used for the roll-off. He even went to the trouble of putting a nice colour diagram on his notice board outlining the oiling pattern that was to be used. Imagine the surprise of all the bowlers when they discovered that the condition was NOTHING even remotely close to what he had promoted. And then when some bowlers had the audacity to complain Ian's comment was "If you think you can do better, then you go and do it" That's what I have always like about Ian - a real professional to the end.
Well I gotta go and stick my plastic ball in the freezer till nationals, otherwise I won't be able to keep my ball on the lane. Unless of course a hidden reserve of oil is suddenly discovered somewhere in the Thuringowa area.
