Firstly, let me congratulate Woollie (Jeff) Stevens for putting on a great Schweppes Bunbury City Open. Well done to Woollie and his team who worked tirelessly all weekend, and of course, leading up to the event.
Now onto the tournament.
12 Games qualifying, cut to the top 16.
After the 12 games of qualifying the cut was set at 177 under. This may sound like a low cut, however let me say that the conditions at Bunbury are tough. Plenty of oil, fairly long and just tough. Makes sparing was most important.
Well the Ice-man Steve Hart finished on +179. A very fine effort. 2nd was myself on an unbelievable +80. At the end of the day I thought I must have had the wrong score sheet. Brett Belstead and Russ Mortimer were the only other bowlers over the card.
On to match play, and it was catch Harty if you can. Nobody could. Well done to Steve Hart on a well deserved win. To Russ Mortimer on a very fine second and Mike Muir for this third place.
As for high games, there was not that many. Only 3 Games over 260.
Tournament High Game. 279 ME, (Had to get that in)
Qualifying High Block 498 ME (Had to get that in too)
Tony Brough and John Morss were the other games, both 266.
Others in the Cut in order of final standings,
4th to 16th Alan West, Brett Belstead, Luiz Pareira, Tom Kury, Tony Brough, John Morss, Stax Stevens, Steve Wimbridge, Vince Pearson, Steve Johnstone, Stuart Shirra, Steve Hone and Kim Elliott.
To the rest of the field I hope you all come back next year.
I'll be back.
