Dec 2013
the local lads
put in a good showing
at the regional
bowling championships
though they were defeated
they played exceptionally well
John won three ends in his match
but his opponent from Armidale
had a better game on the day
he sent many a fine shot
towards the jack

the tournament
was well organized
and all the participants
were able to wet their whistles
on time
when they went to the championships
last year
they all complained about
being kept on the greens
for ages
and none of them
got a beer
until well after
five thirty

as the old bowlers adage goes
it is better to be well up
than too short
