Narooma Sporting and Services Club Blue Water Fours Carnival

The long weekend saw the influx of top bowlers eager to give their best shot in the prestigious Blue Water Fours Tournament sponsored by the Narooma Sporting and Services Club. Players came from as far afield as Sydney, Junee, Canberra and Melbourne. A field of 28 teams competed and the rinks were filled with close contests where one missed shot could make or break your weekend.

The final placings were not decided until the last round was completed with a couple of teams falling at the last hurdle and others showing their best form at the end of the Tournament. The winners were Peter Strong from Toongabbie, Keith Smith, Brett Hughes and Matt Phillips (skip) from Northmead Sports Club who showed great form throughout the Tournament to have seven wins and a margin of 71 shots. Second place, also with seven wins, and a margin of 59 shots went to Chris Pollock from Moruya, Brian Seaman from Dalmeny, Stuart Megee from Tomakin and Jay Breust (skip) from Merimbula. Third place with six wins and a draw with a 44 shot margin went to Jeff Rankin, John Desmet, Matt Dart, and Shane Quinlivan (skip) from Moruya. In fourth place, with six wins and a 48 shot margin were Murray O'Brien, Alan Holloway, Steve Rootsey and Tim Kovacs (skip) from Malua Bay. The fifth placed team was Chris Grebert, Joel McInnes, Robert Craven and Hemi Palmer (skip) from Queanbeyan RSL Club, plus Keith Bowater who was a sub for the team, with six wins and a 44 shot margin.

A tournament like the Blue Water Fours could not be held without the generous sponsorship of the Narooma Sporting and Services Club and their sponsorship is much appreciated.

Ken Lee Memorial Trophy

As part of the Blue Water Fours a trophy in memory of big Kenny Lee was played for by teams with Narooma or Junee players in them. Ken was a well known and much liked Narooma Club member who loved to participate in the Blue Water Fours and it was fitting that his family and friends decided that his Memorial Trophy should be played for in this event. The winners of the Memorial Trophy were the Junee team of Ethan Sainsbury, Bryan Purse, Ian Cooper and Martin Cousley (skip) with three wins and a 13 shot margin.
