However, there have been a couple of reportable actions worth detailing.
The final round of the 60-and-over competition was held at Lockington before the break and a local team of ‘golden oldies’ under the entry name of club president John van den Bosch was successful with an outstanding display of bowling from all team members.
The ladies in the kitchen were thanked for the excellent presentation of meals.
The green staff members were acknowledged for presenting the glorious playing surfaces.
The 60-and-over competition will resume in the new year.
The club championship is nearing completion, with most of the final matches decided over the weekend.
In the third round of the championship, Lloyd Buchanan defeated a gallant Neil Haines 26-14 and proceeded into the quarter-final and met Phillip Cunnington.
In the game against Haines, the match was very competitive with scores close before Buchanan suddenly applied heavy pressure and scored good numbers while restricting his opponent to singles.
In the top half of the draw, the game between past champion Steve Pavone and Dave Thomas was a semi-final to remember.
Both contestants displayed excellent draw bowling with close heads before Thomas edged ahead to close out the match and win a place in the championship final after winning 25-23. A real classic.
Lloyd Buchanan met Phillip Cunnington in the quarter-final and produced more of his untapped talent to take the early ascendancy 18-8 before Cunnington collected a couple of ends to trail 16-19 on the 22nd end.
Buchanan was unmoved as he picked up six shots over the following four ends to win a place in the semi-final 25-17.
Both bowlers were applauded as they left the green.
Buchanan will play Andy Harris in the semi-final, with the winner to meet Dave Thomas in the final.
The club will hold the annual Twilight Legends 2-bowl Triples tournament commencing at 5.30pm (any combination).
