NEIL Blackett, Jason Jones and Wayne Watmore travelled to Wagga for the State Rookies championship, where they performed quite well.
Neil just missed a spot in the final by three shots, on a countback.
Neil won two and lost one, Wayne won one, lost one and had a bye, while Jason won one and lost two.
Good luck to the boys when they return to Wagga next Saturday for the Rookie Pairs.

WOMEN’S BOWLS at the COUNTRY CLUB
LAST Thursday we had a team travel to Grenfell for their “dress in mufti” President’s Day.
Well done to Jan Slavin, Diana Buchanan and Betty Cleveland!
They were the winners on the day, defeating a team from West Wyalong in the process.
Tomorrow we have social bowls, followed by lunch together for those available, after which our monthly meeting will be held at 1pm.
HARDEN Ladies Singles
Kelly Daley defeated Di Walsh 25 to 7.
An easy win for Kelly; she was much too experienced for Di, who was playing her first Club Championship.
Di stuck with Kelly fir the first half of the match to only trail five to eight.
But from that point on, it was all Kelly, as she raced away for an easy win.
Although beaten, a good effort Di.
