Exams Over

After a pretty busy week of bowls I had my last exam today. I kept writing until the end which is usually a good sign. I fit some study in during the last week. I also played about 200 sit and go's online & played in three bowls events.

At Warilla I was pretty much was outplayed on the indoor. In the PBA singles Geoff McGillvray beat me a couple of times, one of which was close and went to a tie breaker. Jeremy Henry & Geoff again beat myself and David Holt. Both played awesome.

On the weekend we completed our Zone 10 play off which we managed to win through. It wasn't without a struggle as we lost our second game to Rosehill. It all came down to who ever won between Toongabbie and Merrylands and luckily our team fired on the Sunday morning. We got off to a good start and at one stage Zel Trbara's rink and Andrew Waddell's rink were both on 20 shots whilst Toonie were stuck on 2 or 3 a piece. Peter Stockham's rink led against Mick Harry most of the way but it was pretty close. In the end we won all three and we are now off to Warilla for the State play offs.

I am officially on holidays now, but still have a NSW Institute of Sport camp coming up and a bowls tournament tomorrow at Club Merrylands.

In poker I played in a couple of home games. In Pyrmont there was a Star City dealers game which was fun to play in. I had to wait a while to get on and a mate decided to just go to Star City to play. Since the dealers at the casino can not play poker at the casino they just create there own game! The guy whose place it was dealt, provided food and drink, and only took a small commission/rake.
