33 Gents members enjoyed a great afternoon of bowls, for some helping to clear the cobwebs after a late night watching football, for others it was just great to be bowling in decent weather again!![]()

Sadly it "was not to be" for either of our representatives in the District Finals at Westermains Bowling Club today.![]()

Ash Anderson by all accounts had a good game against the more experienced Deo Clark from Greenfaulds, but it was Deo who took control in the latter half of the match to run out 21-10 winner. This experience will have done no harm at all to Ash, and we are sure they will have many more opportunities in the future. Deo takes our best wishes for success at Northfield![]()

The Ladies Pairs of Anne-Marie Kennedy and Helen Allison had a great start against their Condorrat opposition, but once the Condorrat Pair made up the deficit, there seemed to be no stopping them as they ran out 18-10 winners. Once again, great experience for our team, especially Anne-Marie, who only started bowling in 2024. Well done to Rachel Lochrie and Heather Weir, whom we also wish every success at the National Finals.![]()

On an evening that proved to be a tough night for our Triples team, the Club is proud to see our Singles and Fours, join our Overs 55s Fours at the National Finals at Northfield.![]()

The triple of Andrew Taylor, Colin Dow and Calum Kidd were involved in a great battle with the Westermains trio of Jim Byron, Scott Wilson and Andrew Byron. With both teams playing well, the difference appeared to lie in Westermains having greater success in their conversion shot attempts, that never seemed to come off quite as often for the Lenzie three. Congratulations to Westermains, we wish them well and will be supporting them as they progress.![]()

Our Fours of Gavin Ansari, Ben Major, Scott Cunningham and Steven Dow produced a strong performance which saw them take an early 9-1 lead, and then largely control that lead throughout the match. Commiserations to their Condorrat opponents on the night.![]()

In the Singles, Drew Cunningham came up against Milton of Campsie's Graham Jardine, who started on fine form, quickly moving to a 1-8 lead. On the 7th end, Drew secured a single and take control of the jack, and at the same time Graham's form just seemed to desert him for a few ends allowing Drew back into the game. Despite playing some tremendous shot saving bowls, Graham Jardin would score only two more, with Drew winning eight consecutive ends without reply, to run out 21-10 winner.![]()

In other games, Ryan Devine from Westermains won in the Under 25s Singles against Banton, and Kirkintilloch's David Wilson and Gordon MacLeod won in what ended an extremely tight match against Westermains.![]()
