| Gordon Team Runners-Up in Zone Reserve Fours |
It was a great performance by the Gordon Team of John Swann, David Magnusson, Brian Levy and Peter Larcombe to reach the final of the Zone Reserve 4's. Played over three weekends because of rain-interrruptions, with Keith Handley ably substituting for John Swann on the second occasion, Gordon defeated teams from Dee Why, Lane Cove, Northbridge and Warringah before going down to an experienced Belrose team in a closely contested final. Players with Pennant Gradings 5-7 in the 2009 season were eligible to compete in this event, so the Gordon team with 4 of our 5 representatives drawn from last year's Grade 7 side achieved a "giant-killer" reputation.

| Century 21 Australia Day Carnival |
|
We welcomed 62 men and women members to our annual "Men
invite the Women" summer carnival held on Australia Day 2010, Tuesday January 26. Sydney turned on a sticky 30 degrees plus day which tested the endurance of our bowlers but good bowls and good friendship prevailed. Lunch in the air-conditioned club room provided a welcome break. As always the day concluded with some very tense single bowl playoffs. However, the team of Brian Blow, Rex Hustler and Shirley Curtin played with aplomb, resisting a strong challenge from Sam Leon, Nola Poyitt and Jim Conolly to win the prized Century 21 trophy for 2010. |
