In the UK there’s a bowl for every surface for the henselite product for overseas I use the tiger 2 and I use the dreamline XD purely because I love the grip and the AR that the bow takes and that’s what makes me one of the best players in the
World the mwell Bowling Club is your place for Fun and food come and try bowls and make new friends have coffee or bring the family for lunch or dinner the morwell Bowling Club visit us today on Hazelwood Road good morning everybody and welcome to the 2024 Hensel light Victorian open
Coming to you live from the morwell Bowling Club on a glorious Tuesday morning mix pairs action on day one three games of sectional play throughout today before The Knockouts tomorrow joining me this morning Joshy thoron back on the microphone welcome back Son thank you Sammy uh it’s nearly
Been 12 months since I’ve been in uh the commentary box looking forward to it h fabulous to be down here and uh morwell obviously big shout out to L trro city council a major partner of the Hensel light Victorian open so uh and looking forward to a big game today
Absolutely a cracking one to start proceedings off we’ve got Mary Thompson leading up from the USA playing alongside Rod Pon representing Glenn wavely this season and against them as you see on the mat here’s Joe lawkin representing bolara playing alongside Vinnie mne got down here from Chalan but we
Would have seen him during the season representing foots gray in Premier a one of those guys using a permit to play at a higher level Sam correct it’s a really good that Angus macarak tuning in he’s not here where is he he was somewhere last
Night he’s due to do ends 11 and 15 in this game s i don’t me to be long him might be a bit of solo commentary by in 11 if things don’t work out so playing on a different green this year Sammy just about to mention that JT
We’ve changed stream R so we’ve jumped out to the other side to the second undercover green here at morwell good good starting like there’s not a bowl outside of yard at the moment on the leaders going to say from throwing a few balls down yesterday afternoon here just to test out the
Stream ring so we knew what was going on seemed to be a fairly comfortable line I think we’ll uh being the greeners as kind as is we’re going to see a lot of good heads when we’re live streaming from M my apologies Lance I said it’s been 12
Months since I’ve been on the commentary box I had to make sure the mic gets closer to me mouth and lift the volume up of it a little bit you know so hopefully that’s a little bit better now each mix pairs games is 15 ends or 2 hours and 15 minutes time
Limit Vinnie is using his uh white and purple arrows and has played this fairly well on the back end doesn’t C sneak inside little bit unlucky good shot Rod’s got chances here on the forehand can sit the jolene’s balls or get a little bit of Jack movement down the line good
Shelf to work off he Rod himself is using dreamline XG we have some cracking weather for day one too semi unbelievable conditions it has been the last few days down here s up getting everything ready to go across our host clubs me nice weather had to be warm
Today bit of a Cool Change later on but I’m hoping all the sectional play will be done by the time that that comes there our thunderstorms predicted but he should be right Rod’s having a good look at this getting after this one just looks to be drifting away enough speed for the shot
Right chance here for Vinnie probably holding one cple very interested Rod’s probably got to be careful here now like if he he’s potentially down already but if he tries to attack a little to and take the own blue ball of his own out yeah go to a down correct
Once a play that may be just full draw weight you know something’s about a foot 18 inches yeah touch of the Jacks more of a bonus than anything not going to do too much damage with that speed closer the first two nicer line doesn’t want to turn this out has probably make certainty
That Jo and Vinnie pick up one on the opening end at least sh that’s fell out for one down Vinnie was already confident that one that’s one to Joe and Vinnie on the first end so opening day here at Vic open for 2024 51 sections of mixed pairs action
Across the Gibs land region this morning JT so if you’re in the area make sure to head on down there’s some quality games across our hor clubs for this year couple more games later on today as well 12 p.m. kicking off Selena Godard and Ben hubber Selena over the uh current
New Zealand international one of our bsck ambassadors ambassadors for this year correct and later on our last game of the day kicking off around 230 p.m. Jody and Ethan fruen from Wanger of course Jody current state representative Ethan a very accomplished bowler himself a former State pairs winner
Yes did you not with Adrien Adrian paning Adrian like Rocky so a few good games to and they’re playing last’s men’s singles winner in the big open Brad baby anding drive plenty of action throughout the day to tune in of course across Facebook and YouTube as always this
Morning I’m I’m a converted man now Sammy when I’m at home I’m watching you guys stream you know I’m a YouTube guy now when I’m at home in my house you know you yeah on the big screen I don’t have to look at all the comments and
I’ll look at them when we commentate because we want we want to have that interaction you so but uh yeah now I’m a YouTube guy now when it comes to streaming from home see Mary’s already got her hands on one of the Vic open 2024 shirts that we’ve
Put together few of them fighting around this morning few of them went out the store this morning hot property hot property that’s correct Mary Thompson oh man to snake under and nearly get a touch of the jack that was very snaky in day draws they shot I don’t mind the bolara uniform again
With there’s probably different incarnations of a demon’s uniform out there but uh I I like the look at that one Jolene started well in this match first two ends all three of her Bowls have been within a yard that is correct GRE the blues are on fire to start off the 2024 AFL
Premiership do you watch football do I do I do winton’s win mate Hey when’s uh when’s M at to on commentary e ver we can we can remind him how wellingwood got a great ball Mary Topson good shot couple good little contests on this green JT this morning tosson chromy in
Action playing alongside it’s Marley Malcolm representing Mitchum of course Brad pavy Jody FR Ethan FR there further across this this screen towards the other end back to the fore hands close oh what a bow changes it right up and follows through for the shot and probably where he’s move the
Jack down the line now Sam it’s probably going to be hard to actually draw shot that’s going to look terrible from the M even Rod I reckon Rod just shook his head there little bit of a SM but forehand around the pack I think it’s the only way you could draw a
Shot could to try and have the right speed sit around Jack h looking good not sure it’s got the pace does it good track for the shot he just weighing up his options as well I I think it’s just a forand draw out this side isn’t it he can asking
For Jack on the forehand where he’s going to get two to get second shot not too bad here just going a fraction that’s all just probably two feet through three feet through there that last B inning all right let’s see what Rod does here he’s played that well there you go
There’s the shot had the right line with his first a correction on speeds enough to draw the shot you reckon uh Vinnie’s potentially going to maybe play with a bit of weight here I’m not sure what he can say from the mat where he can say a PA the ball
Underneath get a little bit of Jack movement down the back too piece of the Jack and the ball no just uh tried the draw shot backing himself to draw this shot didn’t like it out of his hands it’s not speed gave a good chance correct y
Probably what it does now though is make Rod’s next bow even harder cuz that head’s now got wider yeah correct he’s probably got in to draw a second one in now it’s what that last ball did makes you play a bit higher and you get it down to
Missing wide probably play a fraction a cracking second bow from Rod gets them on the board and it’s one a piece through two ends in this opening round Clash for headside Vic open for 2024 mix pairs action coming to you from mwell Bowling Club and anyone who wants to know where
Their Club mates how they’re going during the event they got to get just go to the Vic open page off the BS Victoria website and redirect you to bows link Samy yep and um well for those that have the bows Now app downloaded can go through there
All the scores y so all the host clubs will be updating the results as they come in round by round here he’s opted to throw the mat all the way back and pretty much a ditch the ditch length to begin in three morning Westy morning Terry Kelly hope you’re all
Well did I say right Terry Kelly had a very convincing win the other day in the uh very convincing bad Highlands more than convincing midweek penet finals correct yes and then I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to back the region final that’s the one I was
Talking about Sunday I didn’t even know that one the highlands one my bad I don’t know everything you’re all over that you TK Mary good shots good starters looks like R and Mary opting for a more full length the first couple ends stretch it out so we’ll see thorough work in their
Favor just cooking a little bit there all yeah good set here by Mary yeah three goodies on this sort of long length end done really well all right tell tell me and the viewers JT you’re on the green this week or week and a half what are you in uh in the men’s
Pairs playing alongside uh Bradley all from shepher and golf okay look out what section are you in have no idea I know playing waro waro ah oh thanks for the team to putting you nice and close by then wasn’t it yeah yeah we definitely know it’s not rigged
This support B Victoria staff do we you’re welcome you’re welcome now should be good never played there before yep I actually quite like the idea of uh finally play one of NH s like I do at the moment just keep spreading me out let me go visit you new clubs in the
Area all right Rod’s got a good chance to add theya already holding three at the moment yeah make a real tight one good lead set from Mary Thompson just needs to get under well I couldn’t have cut that much more fine at all under the front bow and these shot I reckon that
Might make Vinnie potentially attack a bit more heads a bit more wider doesn’t love that out of the head saying that he got a little bit of uh enough second or third shot second third shot Roger green tuning in from Seattle Washington home of the jeffon Park Lawn balls Club
Good morning or good evening to you Roger maybe uh afternoon I reckon after yeah yeah y I know me time zones pretty well over there from a man of American sport I watch it’s on the west coast I should know by Vancouver cans home games about what the time
Is all right Vinnie still couple down here work to do not bad here JT hang enough B here at all got the ball right through for shot well play lovely speed for the shot yeah it does give Rod good chances here he can come down sit that
Last ball if he gets a Jacker in the corner he makes three or four just needs to get down from out there JT try now oh super effort a bow and a half too wide super effort had the right speed to trail that Jack needed to get it to having a close
Look as to whether this is one or two any thoughts JT what does it look like from bit of a tricky angle it’s always hard from me Sam I’m always loed to make a big comment I think he’s he’s got to play that soft draw he he can’t afford to be
Overweight and happen to jam the Jack and squish it back a bit um if he’s going to get these only going to just get there I reckon did indicate possibly playing forehand but hard to draw another shot on the forehand I think he’s backing himself here to play the right Speed
Without touching the Jack the backhand side follow that down see he’s looking here it’s on that high line which is probably the safe line and as I said if he was going to get there he was only going to just get there so it’s one for
Shaw having a look at of the the second one actually didn’t see what they indicated hopefully Vinnie will give us some sort of indication a couple it was so too busy doing see what you’re doing pulling your laptop out of the desk here John Vinnie sake out to a 3-1 lead
Through three don’t you worry about me JT you’re up disrupting the flow was there a flow I thought there was a flow oh Vinnie and Joe opting for a a bit shorter length probably 34s morning Brendan hope you’re well probably one of our best viewers at home
Doesn’t miss a lot no always looking for a shout out and we’ll always give him one we can actually give some live scores while we’re sitting here Sammy across the green because of the digital scoreboards oh the spot they’re in is marvelous cuz there’s no plays blocking
The view like there usually is so look I’m not going to go into who’s Who’s the who of everybody here but we got bowlan playing frent at the moment and bowan is 41 up after two uh pies versus Pavey Pavey is leading 31 after three chromy versus Simmons cro Simmons is leading 32
After three hunt versus Hafner Hunt is leading 5 nil after three and Scott versus ties Scott is leading three Z after two ends morning shortman hope well buddy president of the mar Dan’s bows Club Mary’s being forced to switch to the backhand here she she played her first for the
Back end I should have actually realized that but um [Laughter] anyway a bad Laine here again Vinnie asking for it to Harry played this fairly well once to get up to the center line now good starters good shots good reply after the previous end
Uh if it was Mary I’d be looking to just a be arriving play a little tight you got BSA sit on I think she’s tried to do that yeah e to get stuck wide and miss the LA slightly ping to get back for right Vinnie looking to drawing his back in with his
First probably gives Rod nearly a guide underneath something like this JT needs the right contact good ball nearly shot around for shot close to it well played ah the old wigers well talking about that this morning in the car weren’t we Sammy morning rege H if they uh come out and won the
Um the division one Premiership I would have won two two division one titles for the year yes yeah if we use the American theme of you know you only have to play one game to get a Premiership blame that blame that of Reggie oh don’t worry I was I was
Messaging Jr and G and following from afar ah yes the old raing Y in yeah good ball there by Vinnie probably tip Joe’s bowl over enough to maybe count couldn’t be two possibly AR that’s close to two yep Mary just thinking the one down so I wouldn’t I don’t think he’ll stray
Away from what he just played something similar giving it a chance playing tight will give you a potential result getting after it doesn’t mind it he got the speed to hold doesn’t want to pop his own out well that’s worked I think that’s a that’s Mary’s bow over here the blue bow
Pretty decent result over the jack for one gives Vin chances though he can land that shot ball now on the backand or move a bit of Jack around the corner get two or three he raik a Ying play in the mixed pairs got no idea he did last year so he
Probably is probably found out just a bit tight just drifty under right idea definitely right we give it a chance yeah well uh unless Rod does something silly uh we’ll have another score for them and it’s going to be interesting that uh Vinnie’s team has scored one way
So far and Rod’s team scored the other way so far we’ll see if they’re able to hold on to this end where they go straight back to ditch to ditch like they did the previous end well it worked into the Ence that Mary actually LED really well
On that dit length but then Vinnie Chang a few good ones yeah out of Mafra Jr how’s Rod going here needs to get under the speed’s okay trying hard or is the speed okay and falls in wow that’s a oh Mary likes it pretty good change over still in the back end different
Shot he had to play though they take out one and have a look at the second I like that for two sitting from here JT that’s got to be close don’t go early with these ones oh sitting from the side come on you got to call it n one or
Two I’ll go two best place to call is when you’re standing over the top of the head and never in doubt easy to we’re locked again at three or three a piece through four good opening contest good lead balls and a couple of good conversions early
On looks like we’re going right back so be that long end against Sam yep longer end we had a good was same earlier obviously Mar’s from USA we have a little USA contingent again this year at the Vic open like we did last year quite a few of them were down here
Yesterday and Sunday having a more in tralan yep pretty sure was last year Jimmy in a driving him to one of the venues there was a miscommunication arounda and then he had end up driving him to one of the venues oriz a live for a few of our
American friends who are playing down at West H this morning Stan trust they’re going well good to have them out it’s a great thing about the Victorian open anybody can come and play no matter where you are yeah in Australia or around the world few guys
From Hong Kong have made the trip down as well as I was saying last year when I was uh here commentating Sam I hadn’t been here a lot my life but it’s a nice part of the world especially when the weather’s like this it’s a nice morning for it and this
Facility here is more I haven’t been here before until a couple days ago absolutely cracking facility a couple of undercover greens big side a few function rooms plenty of space going on I like they design they’ve obviously got seating on the far side that you know you can
Obviously go and take a seat they got a windowed area inside that sort of sees most of the rinks and then right behind us is like the bowlers land B land in between the two carpets so you can easy access to both greens it’s really good set up
Mar’s giving this one a good chance just missing the Jack comes to a good spot gives them one pass the [Applause] head one at the moment to Joe and Vinnie or the vman as he called himself earlier yeah we asked him what would he
Be prefer to be yeah was it out for the game Vincent or V vman and then we it was a bit too late to change the stream rink for the opening round after that comment but anyway so here we are at three all after four going well interesting to see if
You th Rod may have play the back away Sammy I’m on a good angle here it’s nearly got the Jack need to just get down late yeah fantastic B sticks with it for one well play he doesn’t want to fall on top of the Jack and might push
It back to Jay B yeah you’re right Vinnie’s playing something similar looking just to try and get to that ball or get a little bit of Jack he speed it’s going to Hur him at the moment I think a head there don’t be lazy he absolutely smoked the line that was spot
On he a reckon there’s chances now that he could play try and split the Gap I don’t know but he’s not happy with himself uh yeah what do you reckon JT you can I mean I reckon Rod’s probably going to play backand now he got a chance of
Maybe turn a m over a couple he’s probably protecting himself from turning J’s over happens to finish High finish a good home he’s got to think what what’s Vinnie going look to play now chance play the next one so that’s why I would play the the backand and try and nice P
There for some forehead white and Rod makes look silly and plays the opposite hand he’s still going to go past the head though comes to a handy spot No Surprise needs to move a little bit missing wide yeah surprised that R stuck with his hand again
Here not sure if he’s trying to get another one past or get another one in the head it’s awfully close oh he didn’t touch that he was actually near close to making another one that was a very fair effort makes it harder of Vinnie to get there now yeah turns his ball in
Front the way it’s angled now though he could love to say it but he could outside edge his own onto the onto Joe’s and all a sudden he’s two or three down something he’s got a way up he’s going quick again he’s still going to search and try and
Get his one through the shot pole no back himself conservatively maybe to try and turn EAS a couple times missing under so that’ll be one we’ broken the little run of comption end five we broken the little run first time anyone’s won two ends in a row in
This match Mary Thompson Rod Pon lead by four shots to three through five ends day one of the hot 2024 Vic open mix pairs sectional action coming to you live from the MW Bowling Club JT this year’s commentary as you know I’ve done up a huge schedule a huge
Schedule so lots of rotating correct and you’re going to rotate out now okay bye and we going to bring in uh the CEO of BS Victoria Tony Sherl morning JT morning everyone cracking morning here in morwell T it’s absolutely perfect isn’t it my voice is not ideal JT so if it
Does fade in and out my apologies in advance kick me out of the commentary team quite happily yeah we only give you a couple little stints today so you’re pretty good just ease me into it Mar and Rod again opting for the longer ends it’s worked for him the last couple
Times nice close aair here JT well we’ve had some good heads ton and we’re talking early about streaming from this green versus the one at the back I think it’s more conducive to better heads so we’re going to see some really top quality bows and matches you been out the back watching a
Little bit of play out there and there is a marked difference between the speed from this green to that did notice Selena Godard out there New Zealand representative Ambassador here at the Vic open she won’t have too much trouble with the highest paced greens no good leading balls there from Mary Thompson
Good clear instructions from Rod Peterson moved across to Glen Wiley this year a coaching capacity or coaching in playing line was good of those Nuance balls though you know forced Joe to change hands there we go the nuisance ball is called by JT there is nothing this man can’t
Do a broken clock is right twice during the daytime there’s once JT Barry leester has come on board this year with some support of the vien yep blessed coaching as it’s known Barry leester is a very enthusiastic and accredited coach as we all know he has traveled the world competing at the
Highest level and he uses his extensive knowledge to help you improve your game and Implement plans and strategies to gain success for your Club that’s Barry’s coaching business blessed coaching does uh some great stuff and I actually think he might have held some stuff in Regional Victoria not that long
Ago JT yeah I was lucky enough to get a grant for the Wimer bows region and uh we put it towards um baz coming out doing some coaching and he ran four sessions in two days at the four playing areas out there and really well received um he’s a very good communicator
Obviously his knowledge of the game is quite good in terms of what he knows and obviously all the successes he’s had on the green and um yeah from uh I actually did some surveys to all the participants and all the feedback was fantastic so yeah he’s infectious his his baz his
Passion for the game it’s not matched by too many morning shorty yeah it’s not real good my voice I do apologize kind of comes and goes every now and again it goes back to its normal which is a pretty low standard anyway then it does just disappear so
Hopefully it bleeps out the correct words it’s the first time in the match where one side is holding a significant number at the moment um looks like Mary and rder probably holding four um Vin he does have a pretty good upshot on him though so yeah it’s not it’s widish it’s
Not I wouldn’t say the fattest head but I think he’ll be still arriving and giving it a chance and as we say that he’s he’s probably under played it a little bit and yeah that’s not your Broken Clock JT no I just I’d argue he executed that
Poorly was actually trying to do what I suggested you’re probably right so Rod Peterson just going down to survey this head if I was right I wouldn’t be making it any fatter I think fo’s a good good good can to have I’d be either trying to cover a spot or make it
Harder for Vinnie to play the shot yep so a little bit of talk between rod and Mary they’ve worked out what shot morning to you Vince watching from leppington morning Rosie some good names across this screen as we look across to Ethan fruen Jody fruend Brad Pavey Tyson cromy Shane hafner’s out
Here D Rod’s final bow for the end doesn’t have the trip well again it could be a good say if I was hang out a little bit it could be that good Nuance bow probably just wanted another two feet to cover and count W I just think
If it was maybe a bow ball and a half wider gets right in the line doesn’t it there still I think there’s still a line there in the back end where you can arrive with two three feet of weight and give it a chance and well Vinnie’s really got nothing back so
No but even if he gets to the the pack year a sniff taking one or two out maybe flipping around takes out the full weighted shot really doesn’t it back to just arriving weight looks slightly better track he just got to hang now it’s a pretty good bow
JT just his speed probably hurt him again more than anything just tipped it in instead of tipped it out so so the three or four that’ll be three consecutive ends for Mary and Rod put the tape on this last one Paul wiman’s watching from Queensland morning
To you Paul this of course is the Hensel lot Victorian open this is mixed pairs first event first day for it is great pickup score is now 83 after six ends the longer ends definitely a strategy for Maran Rod at the moment working for him not quite ditch a ditch but probably
Close to two met shy of it interested spectator Gus MacIsaac has just entered the building it was our first cometer on the stream he’s watching he loves balls gassy of course one of the balls Victoria directors all around good guy and uh very handy bowler Mar’s got a l do in
Nicely she’s probably just been that margely more consistent than Jolene at the moment conversely as Vinnie says wait’s very good for Jolene but just missing the line so she’ll correct that with the next one B that’ll please Karen who’s in the comments saying G Mary from lagona beach lagona beach
Bowling Club sounds nice was going to say wonder if it’s got a great view good correction here from Joo was that a club on the weekend tone that has a great view but from a different perspective what up at club Houston oh yes very nice club right on the Murray River
There we might talk about results though JT no we won’t you can’t win all the time though yeah want say anything to that it’s the satellite view of lagona beach Bowling Club it does look like it’s right on the ocean doesn’t it yeah it certainly does very nice to put that
One on the uh on the bucket list go over and see Mary Thompson at a home Club it’s another pretty good effort from jool just pulling up C my feet short it’s probably there like there’s still some close balls is in but probably their worst leads in otherwise
They’ve been pretty red hot so far in this match might do a live score update across the green we can only do this green tone but um over in the far rink we have the frins playing Bowland and frins are 54 up after five next rink across Pavey playing pies and it’s six
Or after seven next rink cromy versus Simmons Simmons is leading 94 after seven R nearly adds another one there looks like it yeah next rink Hunt is playing hner and Hunt is leading 112 after seven and the next in next door to this live streaming rink is Scott versus ties
And it’s the fives five five on five obviously if you want to go out and check your Club mate or your favorite bowler you can get on the bows link and check out all the results or the the bows live now up is that a now balls now
You had a mental blank there just watching uh Vinnie’s ball just got a little touch but I think it may have just scooted looked Touch Too Far through so still shot to the Peterson rck Shane Hafner a couple of rings over JT was a late call up Ellie copley’s son Preston Rollins
Copley was originally named in that team so Shane’s doing some good things in the yeah he certainly is featured on current Channel n current affair current affair yep nice to see him get some recognition for the good work he’s doing for uh those who’ve been in the police force and
Served our community and struggling with some of the dangers that come with says a lot about balls where it can help people with all those issues and conditions that come from that sort of work he’s just a fraction tied I think Vinnie I reckon Rod Mar probably holding to at the
Moment it’s hard to gauge deliber Rod Peterson he’s got to coach his brain always working out what the options are that argue he is methodical isn’t he you know in terms of the way he’s approaching it yep very much getting some love in the comments as well always does seem like a really
Happy sort of guy to me yeah well as in positive say I would so know well but send him around the traps over the years and yeah I’d probably agree with that [Applause] tone played for a few seasons at Clayton we know he supports a good AFL team not sure about that
Hat chat to him in the break I want to put him off his game three pretty good balls though JT absolutely pitcher perfect conditions here down in well and one of the better clubs you will ever see two undercover greens Bistro and JT they’ve just opened
Up a function room that seats 350 I’ll have to sus that one out I haven’t seen that P yet it’s really good of course we’ve got our henselite crew down here they’ve got a stall you can go and get some bowls some bags some clothes some shoes and am Sports Weare here as
Well Vinnie just asking for it to move it just hangs a touch wide I was going to say two for sure but measures coming out I’m going to say it’s only one just to be different two there we go four ends on the truck oh I should never disagree
With you I I do warn people not to make too big of a statement from the sidelines tank because it is hard the’re different angles but it is um not hard for you though Johnny Rich saying ripping BL got it all going for him I love it so
Yeah so if you are in the area come down to more well um Campbell Derek from am sportsware has a store set up so if your clubs thinking about new uniforms they are the best option by mile put together some great utiful we’ve utilized Campbell a lot at our way
Tone um Mar m uh you got their region uniforms and their junior development Squad uniforms through Campbell I know BCG starting to utilize him as well goby goldfields Y and of course the big V correct they are the manufacturers of the state uniform strong supporters of balls Victoria we thank them very much
Get theot yeah Rod Peterson recognizing that one was a bit loose and just says next one it’s no use giving your um teammate and ear bashing over a bad bow nobody tries to do them no move on the next’s been really consistent otherwise you know so
It’s but it has probably opened the door for Vinnie and Jolene to have a chance here this end yeah they’re starting to get to that stage where they do need a number two and a/4 hour time limits here for the vi openen morning to you Shirley watching from
Ham member of the hogland park BS Club yep one of our wi of board members looks to be siling just a touch t t little Rush of Blood on that one from jine Ro B and just lets had a little sigh as he crashes into a front
Pole nice ball Vinnie M be no stranger to these greens had a good campaign last year went quite deep he did in a couple couple events you make the semi-finals of the singles I re I was going to say semifinals it wasn’t far off winning that too from memory did he play Brad
Pave in the semifinal or Chrissy young feel like it might have been Brad yes it was cuz Chris Young played um Zachy wiing in the other seminal should be nearly counting it is sometimes it’s the ugly heads that you can get a score sometimes because of where the other bows land
And not saying that disrespectfully but it’s probably been the loosest ends so they’re not within a dinner plate as they say yep I do like mixed pears we’re talking about this last night don’t we call it divorce peirs divorce pear yeah well that’s what it
Flips in the wrong way but I reckon you actually quite often see people having a good time because they’re not they don’t generally play together and there’s not that many mixed events I mean no Penance open gender all that sort of stuff but in tournament style and I think there a
Lot more relaxed people you also get the other end of the spectrum don’t get me wrong hence the name divorce peirs every now and again Rod just finishing a fraction short yeah I don’t know if it’s cut one out JT it’ll be certainly two could be three Vinnie’s having a good look
Here might force him to play the other hand potentially Rod just signaled on his way past and he thinks it might be three down unfortunately yeah because I know Vinnie wouldn’t want to turn that last ball of rods over definitely would pretend she start cutting a bowl or two
Out I saying over dinner last night getting to the the reference of divorce pairs my grandmother wouldn’t play with my grandfather Mickey West showing some support for team paddles and team cromy so can tell you paddles is locked in a very close battle it’s six all after eight ends
They just updated that scoreboard so I’ll give you an update scor a second but Tyson CR is having a very tough day against Danny Simmons rink oh Vinnie may have counted Tyson’s down 413 after nine ends and Brad Pavey trailing 78 after nine there you go Mickey West best tipster in the
Business supposedly I’m the worst although I won it last year between Jimmy and I so I can’t say I’m the worst beating Jimmy’s nothing to brag about he’s too old now Jimmy I think he turned 45 or something the other day four it is four so great pick up they
Needed it in the schemes of the game yep it’s now 107 and we’ve played eight stops that little run of four ends in a row for Thompson Peterson I reckon there’d be a decent tactical change here in terms of length a betting man there’ be something much shorter having a little mid green
Conference come up and discuss the other day the old midg Grand conference obviously when you win an end you pull your you know team aside maybe have a quick chat about where you want to go but what happens if you lose in but you want to still have the mid team
Conference I’ve seen it happen where they’ve let the first the leader from the opposition and then have the conference can cause some friction so you are correct JT it is a shorter in Matt’s back on the tea or thereabouts but um you yeah did not have to touch the Jack good
Starter that’s how you do it JT pressure on straight away and he started from marry herself for white [Applause] Impeccable another good lead Ball by Jan has been the desired length that’s for sure Mary not far away it just finds a gap but not a bad spot to [Applause] finish something past wouldn’t be too bad here for jol yep look over on that half no hunt rink and this having a good
Time lead’s just ask him to play a certain shot and the ski said what do you want to come and tell there balls everywhere but no Jack over there so I’m pretty sure they’re trying to draw draw to the ditch and yeah there’s throw a bowl that’s about
Three Ines off there’s obviously two colored markers behind every rink there and I think one’s off the behind the five so which means I think that’s where the jack is unless it’s somewhere else and we it’s hidden between a couple balls T yep just a fraction wide
I feel like the this side of the green tone the the dit side is probably the marginally wider hand mhm um I’ve seen more balls finish underneath really not happy with that one interesting what he was trying to play there because he’s holding one at the moment isn’t he
Not try at who ball oh no they damn sorry my Mary Thompson’s my apologies that’s why Rod trying to get to the back ball and flop in yeah well played splits the danger up though a little bit yeah it’s just sort of flipped the wrong why just the one confirmed by
Jool just a nice just arriving sort of full draw get to the ball get to the Jack got chances I think he says he’s under again knew it straight out of the hand it’s not quite finding his range here see right here he he’s looking actually being very positive M and
Looking to land his own shot B with two feet weight get it over and spring it over the back might make three I mean it’s an element of weighing up whether the one good one is good at this point in time and how confident you are
Not giving away shot if you do play that he trying to pump Vinnie’s bow out no play forand look to land his own shot ball which is angled to go out to the back where Mary’s bows are and if he rolls it over far enough he’d probably make three out of
It whether he plays that shot or not he’s definitely was looking at it though looks like he’s just opted for the draw shot the safer shot Randa bats that’s the one score now 11-7 we’ve played n ends back to the uh longer length as preferred by Peterson and
Thompson well it was working for him yep they didn’t do too badly on that shorter one either though big Power move is if if your opponent’s playing a certain length right you score and then you roll it back at him and then beat him on it
Y I saw uh Mitch side bottom do it the year he played against Lee Shiner in the final of the Vic open at cheron Lee was playing Mitch was playing short Lee was playing long Mitch w on the long and then roll long back to him and one
Again he’s a very good draw baller which side him y of course Leroy needs no introduction one of the best the long ends is where Mary’s weight’s been really really good yep it’s good reply one to you is the call from Vinnie we here the hint light Victorian open thank you to destination
Gibs land lro City Council of course morwell Bowling Club and tralan Bowling Club and JT across the next 10 days we’ll use about 18 clubs across the lro valley and into Gibs land today streaming from morwell Bowling Club fantastic facility I had the pleasure of going up
To meru North last year and newra some really great clubs around this area I said I get to go to warle on uh Thursday in the peirs yep with your great mate Brad o yeah I’ll have to carry him again he said the exact same thing of
Course he did well I’m at bolara on Monday for the triples which I think might have be jolene’s club that we’re watching on the live stream so have to ask her for some local knowledge how not to get beat better track was the call from Skipper Rod Peterson she looks close just passing
Thompson sporting one of the new am Sports we henselite shirts designed specifically for the Vic openen yeah they look fantastic T looking a million dollars there’s a couple on the screen already you want to get them pretty quick if uh you’re down this way they are selling like hot
Cakes or just hits a little lip goes in reverse that ball just for a touch that’s nothing compared to some of the other grades I played on over the years t look it does happen in a lot of GRS doesn’t it I won’t name the club but
I played at a club and got to the tea and then rolled backwards four times from the tea no not sorry on the edge of the ditch sorry my bad yeah one two three 4 I do recall one venue where it was like a and dead set up slope from the
Tea up to the to the bank you could you could never get it in there again won’t say the club no longer a club though may have hosted an a strain open I shouldn’t say I think we all know where where you’re talking about now toad just a fraction quick quick Rod is
Yeah LA’s good it’s just gonna be shy I think Vinnie I think Rod’s thinking about playing the forehand I think he’s already two down with those bowls of jol no if they’re already shot it makes no difference but it looks the nicest shot to try and get there if you land them or
Get through them you’re going to be half a chance of getting shot she’s doing little bit of white see what happens he’s not far away that’s the shot grip ball right well played you make a pretty good catch one day JT so with David Clark so play through him
Yeah now he knew what was going on squizzy I think sometimes people over complicate the game and when you got a shot that gives you two three or four options it’s you know you can find the percentages f me pres just thrown me under the bus he’s a good fell I remember that
Shorty hasn’t played this too bad he’s just got to hang around got to stop flops in he might be Char’s urging it to flop one down yeah I remember watching your state fours and shorty carried you to a title JT selective memory he’s a very good
Player I can tell you though there was one game specifically in that campaign when we played against uh the Bendigo rink shorty Le against ly Hoskins who’s a very accomplished bowler himself and shorty might have give Luke a nice old touchup that game little whack to Luke osin that’s all
Right Luke will be able to handle it he’s a good fell so perhaps a touch of indecision here from Rod pson walking off the mat sideways having another look Morning Buzz good to see on the on the stream watching if Tony doesn’t do it I’ll do it to himself anyway to
Buzz he’s certainly not shy Buzz just got to get down Rod he’s played really good weight he’s trying hard he’s unhappy with it yeah so I get that I think so he could play backhand and probably land J’s ball through rods um just saying if he gets it wrong
Though the way you get it wrong if he happen to get on the far side of the rink outside edge of rods and Jack that way all of a sudden he goes through a four down so that’s the thing he’s got to be careful of um it’s that stage of the match where
You go is one down all right still and do we have enough time to catch up versus trying to get a number and get a little bit closer back into the game yep depends how confident if you’re feeling good I think he’s playing that backhand shot hanging hanging oh that was close that
Was very close good effort just got that ball on the wrong angle so it be one to rod and Mary scores now 127 after 10 ends and uh if my commentary schedule that I’ve mapped out ton his spot on we’re going to jump off and Sam and Gus are going to finish the
Game be we can say gas where’s Sam hiding another long end from Mary and Rod now it’s five the difference with five to play it’s not unachievable from uh Vinnie and Jolene perspective are the ones down this match so they probably got to win at least three out of the
Five ends last ends to uh hit the front they did pick up a four only a couple of ends ago so they are capable of a big score Definitely more than Tim no Vinnie is still technically a Chalan bowling Club member uh but he played pennet this year at yville foots GR in the Premier Division under a permit Rod Peterson did have some Seasons at Clayton yep definitely including in their Premier team yep
Right I think we are getting off now T thanks J we’ll see everybody back later On all righty big change up in the commentary box cuz Sam was back in joining me for the first time for the Vic open in 2024 on commentary is none other than gassi maak good morning to you gas morning Sam what a beautiful morning it is in mwell good conditions
Good game of balls this 127 the lead rod pson and Mary Thompson have changing commentators changing Fortune see what happens I thought the game was getting away from Joe and Vinnie but a four on the and eight has made things a little bit interesting it should be a good finish the final 5
End so we’ll see what plays out well I saw this in the uh draw this is one of the reasons I’m I’m sitting here commentating I looked at the people entering the competition and I thought there’s some very very good pairs amongst this lot and here are two of
Them we’ve got for our Opening match uh Vinnie never gives out I can tell you that uh the local boy local enough yeah he wasn’t down here practicing yesterday but Rod was I had a rooll with Rod you had a roll I had a rooll
Yesterday yeah I got a bit you know when you’re not in any finals and you just don’t not putting ball down you think I might just have a put a couple down was good clear the head got a fair looking ball here just clear that pretty kind sort of line on
Both hands here ging on this stream rank don’t want to get caught out too [Applause] wide no and very white dependent you know just find that line find that weight the ball will find you a shot can see there exhibit a just a fraction High just slightly miss your line can get
Stuck out might have had the right good enough speed to near draw the shot there G he not far away well that last ball of Vin will give Rod a very good indicator he knows he’s just got to get inside that for shot so confident man Ron getting after this one
Yeah has to clear either the side won impact the can at the moment so back away look to throw another one into the count here and put right under a little bit of pressure be a good end to get here he would like get the back in
The game he’s in he’s there probably oneing one out yeah last ball ball Falls in I think Rod will have too much problem no he hasn’t been far away with his first couple just needs to be a a ball Wier that’s all not a bad setup here at the mware
Bowling Club Gussy well I haven’t been here before until the other day it’s pretty impressive fil yep if I Liv down this way I wouldn’t probably leave here I just it’s addictive these good carpet grains indoor Ry ha a shine as he look he’s he’s gone matching
Wide he won’t be happy with this oh he yeah he gave it a chance to work off and he shot ball it’s funny cuz he’s probably had too much funny way he had too much room you know he thought well I just got to be margin wide here he’ll come back and it
Didn’t yeah he’s just saying he just margins yep well Vinnie’s got a big chance to really turn this game on its head now draw another shot what do we call this a free hit see if he can make it count love it out of the hand and doesn’t like it out of the
Hand he’s given it a chance if it’s it might hold on not there far away but knew he had it sent it straight away gave the shake of the it’s actually won the way Mary Thompson and Rod peton so they’ll pick up their third single in
A row they skip out to a 13 to s Lead through 11 ends of course playing 15 ends here sectional play for our mixed pairs event time limit of 2 and A4 hours but I’m going to say Gussy that given the time is 10:25 I think we should be think we
Should be right this should be no problems about finishing a a balls game on this pace carpet both players but all players are moving through pretty quickly they don’t mck around as I say that yeah so I missed the obviously the middle five ends of this game but early on the Thompson P
Combination were looking to go ditch to ditch clearly stuck with that tactic but Mar’s just throwing the jack a little too fast so see a shorter length end well as I said I had a roll with Rod last night and um he’s a big proponent of long ends um
So and he h a lot of drives yesterday too he hasn’t driven yet I don’t think in this game but I think he only missed one of eight against me yesterday so he was one of eight one of eight in a rollup in a rollup yeah I
Miss him out it’s something about me when I roll up with someone they just want to beat me and they usually do all right he’s just having a little power in the middle here rod and Mary just saying it’s all good like he knows that he knows that she’ll be a bit
Disappointed about rolling that uh Kitty in the ditch and he just would have said to her nail it it doesn’t matter yeah I think it’s going to be the start of a long campaign for some Bowlers here isn’t it they’re going to get a lot of balls in if they win some
Games it’s a 10 days yeah up in multiple events you playing yep yeah I’m playing in the other events but um as I said no one wanted to play with me in this so oh maybe I should have run a competition that be I could have been the third place get
You could have been the third place going to say yeah toss is in action on this screen a few ranks over but little bit of little bit of trouble where on the 719 down with a couple ends to go he’s playing with a young girl very young girl very talented great shot
Correct and she’s going very good Marley Malcolm who was runner up in the Eastern Rangers novice championships that they run inh housee of course novice State Carnival to come later on in the Year Daughter of Nigel Malcolm Mitchum great man he’s here watching he’s tucked
Off in a corner somewhere I said what is it with parents watching their kids play sport just get out there he go I got do it yeah Fair ball here just got to get down onto the flopp in no Mary’s from United States us OFA us
OFA great nation so she’s a guest here we got a few over here this year hav we quite a few yep he having a good practice chagan moreell the last couple of days wearing a path down the grein have you been to New York Samy no no have you
I have I have once did you have a bowl well funnily enough in Central Park in the middle they’ve got a Bowling Green and what does it run 4 and a half oh yes beer injury stuff I think but it’s it’s impressive though um I can’t remember
What the probably New York bowling Club I guess but you kind of find them everywhere every town you’d go through you happen to drive past a balls club which is great cracking short here by Rodney once again rips all the way back to the line and falls in behind that’s a
Fair effort indeed hold two yeah I think Vinnie he’s got a little Landing Pad just a tiny one he’s probably he’s got a good ball down a little unlucky just gets the back one out reduces it back to one there you go Mary tuning in from Laguna Beach California where Mary Thompson’s
Home Club is welcome to the Laguna Beach BS Club there was that that’s pretty good all right so see if any he tries to play something similar wasn’t far away with his first he need try to CLI the ball out drop a just drop a little bit
Of weight from his last which he’s done he’s done he’s done it oh yeah that’s a great ball wow oh I don’t know did he get it far enough for the shot it nearly fell at one more roll just fell back so it makes it close confirm he looks like a measure
For the shot couple of good ones from Vinnie a little unlucky well he did what we said he just dropped a fraction away to let the ball work a bit and he was stiff if he hasn’t got the shot v he’s going to have a look and tell
Us gets on his toes I don’t know why that helps doesn’t know very close yeah he’s not happy played a great B all right both the boys would still want to come this back back inside searching for yeah nothing for oh good effort he’s tried to sit it
Underneath the head to make two or three just missed in doing so and he’s clipped his own ball out for one down so just see if he can make any more other than drawing for two I would have thought the easier option just to draw two here G get himself back
Within what four with three and sto yep very getable still got to draw the shot switch onto the forehand wonder if he’s giving himself a chance to try and TR this Jack to his other couple cuz he’s got to come underneath that short ball make it his
Pace is pretty good uh it’s very good B just drawn the shot instead so g a couple to John Vinnie gets them back within four with three and remaining 139 have Mary Thompson and Rod pson through 12 ends Mak can make for an interesting finish for our opening stream for the
2024 VI open here at morwell Bowling Club G I’m liking all the shirts we got our Vic open shirt there worn by Mar and Joe’s got a really nice one from B that that looks very much like the new Tasmanian football jumper it with the devil on it has that been announced that
Was announced last yesterday yesterday they went with the uh State Old State jumper with a um you weren’t sure about them being called The tazzy Devils though were you no no wasn’t biggest fan of that yeah because it is a bit of a clash isn’t it the
Demons anyway I think it’s largely to get the population of Tasmania on board something that they recogniz 18 and of course Mar ripping the new VI open 2024 shirts could get my hands on one of them or I think Gussy I think they may have sold out sold out yep you
Obviously haven’t been to a Vic open everything sells out oh yesel was Mel was run off her feet in high demand even yesterday afternoon yeah and got out Mel designed those so and there’s another there is another color coming a green and black one I’ve heard about this and
They’re meant to look very good like a moam typ type shirt I saw Tyson walk past me before I think he’s um gone for new head looked a bit different I seen T for a while ripping the Ocean Grove vbl shirt that they that they are for the vbl the back
End of last year yep good so it’s Brad PVE on the ring next door yeah very good maybe Tyson’s taken up a bit a surfing salt salt in his head don’t take him for a surfer but I’m not sure about that him imagine him paddles and MD on surfboards
Off Ocean Grove oh dear catching some waves all right so just looking just to see how she’s going to get in I think it’s easier just to change over it jump on the backend side being in the open hand yeah would want to see a crash into it think they’ll be feeling pretty
Confident 12 13th and in they they would have a good feel for the green now and be pretty confident that uh they can get close well they’ve only lost four rends for the game do that’s crazy is it including a four which overall tight but indicates that they great B heads
Throughout and right on QA another great lead ball from Mar yep what is it with the commentator’s curse you say something and it happens Fe looking ball here just got to run this out more often than not see more often than not she wasn’t happy with that she know
She was on a good track just having a look through our little commentary schedule here that JT’s oh yeah put together for the next few days yep how many people’s he got lined up well today we’ve already used up our four commentators we’ll be rotating round for the rest of the day throughout
The next couple of games sectional play and then back here at morwell for Knockouts tomorrow yes morwell is the home of this Vic open this year we rotate between the clubs uh we’re at toan last year and stationing ourselves here this year and um both fine venues dropped in there this morning if
You haven’t been down this way you’ve got to get down and have a look it’s just an hour and a half easy Drive accommodation food joints everything and the sun’s just shining and it’s could be in Queens land mate the the weather is marvelous it is absolutely beautiful what’s going on
Here all right vent a couple of down he’s got a navigate that short ball and it’s a fair effort Fair effort he turned that one in behind made that even even harder now already got second shot but at this stage of the game Gusty they need to be
Picking up ends and scoring I think they’re only one down we might see him switch onto the forehand and play some a little uh a little shot Because okay just trust to Betty’s last ball good God so this is your first Vic open uh from a sta point of view yes yep I played 2019 at sheer and days yeah good all TI just figure out how far he’s going to correct on his first in terms of
White look pretty good from their point of view he only with one ball in the area pretty difficult to just got to get through this Gap make shot’s going to make it even harder run through here oh well he’s he’s he’s forced um yeah he’s forced vny to do something different see
Jo laughing Vinnie’s taking the hat off and a bit of a shake of the head as to how on Earth am I ending up getting shot here you copper one down and move on and try and build play two good ends the last couple here then Trail by five which
Is making things tricky as well I mean there’s a shot there’s a shot on the back hand through that last short Ball but if the Kitty goes back he could go down three or four yeah they don’t really have anything passed all close in the nicest way
Possible a tricky one here I think he’s going to go the forehand I think there’s a there’s a slight chance to sneak around the orange tough shot it’s not Beyond Vin man he looking just to try and draw this on the forehand tough shot and was always going to be the
Problem B and crashing so has Last Bow here can he put the lights out on this game any movement on the closest Vin M bow yeah he rolls just about wraps it up he’s going to try and play the shot that Vinnie couldn’t play correct because the
Headset up give this a real good chance on the back end here he’s almost uh had a little smile on his face there thinking it’s a pretty good headset up for me I’d search right up there up here give this every possible chance if he
Misses wide he gets the ball just has to clear his own sits that ball right through makes a big number if he crashes and turns his own on the way in it’s okay I think he’ll play conservative weight oh this is the we I like good searching weight try to
Land this ball right out of the head doesn’t mind it what’s he got he’s got the outside ball that’s not the result oh what’s that done that’s giving him the shot now that’s nothing for wide still still one okay he’s lucky it didn’t fall in yeah it’s stuck on the
Ball anything inside of that he was right he could have made got it outside he turns it in for possibly one down but they pick up one the combination of Mary Thompson and robod pson they lead 149 with two ends to play round one of sectional action coming to from the mo
Bowling Club on a beautiful morning up and back and no surprise to see Mary throw the mat all the way back we know where this Jack’s being thrown way the game is gone the other game in this section’s next door to us Gussy yep Scott leading tires 118 through 11 ends it’s t
Game br br p t down to that game’s over so he’s lost that one and Jody and Ethan fru I think I you’re just about to mention the score on the far end yep they lead 118 two ends to play of course sections of four teams so three rounds here this morning
Throughout the day now sry Ethan’s name I was trolling through history books as I do you know my time off and history books well the history of bows that’s all I’m interested in and Ethan was there in I was looking at the um you know the new bowler um oh yes I believe
He he won that a a few years ago saw his name there sounds about right in the state pairs as well yep mentioned a little bit earlier and I thought I thought he’d been around longer than that but and then you see that and you think wow what a a great
Effort one of the pathways you see a lot of it’s a bit like the rising star nominations in the AFL you see them and then you see them crop up with in a brown L we got some viewers out there at the minute plenty of viewers of course streaming across Facebook and streaming
To YouTube as always Ken Jenkins asking how many ends get played or is it first to 21 it’s 15n game um and whatever score you get in that 15 ends will con shoot the game so at the minute rers team holds sway at 149 and uh this end will prove to be
Critical Vinnie wins it he’s back in the game yeah they have to have to win last two ends yep and you can tell by the urgency in the in in making sure the balls are up and not short anything behind is good Mary’s got a good ball here she sits on
This good again picks up the jack on the way through making it very tricky now I think they need a two a minimum two on this end to St be in the game because have we had any numbers there’s been no numbers scored maybe a three I think
Oh she’s cleared it she’s played a cracking ball great shot it’s come to a really good spot you can’t be closer and not get it nearly got a little friendly slide off front as well misses everything misses under the Jack but comes to a great home gives them a
Chance that’s where they needed one of course we are playing sectional so if you do happen to lose your first game definitely not the end the world the end of the world play yes when you’re next two um these sections all these sections tight so um they’ll be uh
Looking to get off to a good start so two days of um one day of sectional and then one day knockout correct and that’s the same format until we reached the last two days of final St good shot again from Rod played well it’s a good
It’s a good format for those if you want to be tra you know to travel down and then if you win your section you can go back to Melbourne or wherever couple of days of work and then come back and play your finals can do of course pair sectionals kicking off on
Thursday Knockouts Friday and then singles action over the weekend yep for triple starting early next week and then final days following Wednesday and Thursday keep be up to dat of who were streaming the day before so you can check it all out who we got to look forward
To quite sure he’s waiting for here a bit of bit of movement behind the rink right last for first ball of rods forces Vinnie to play the back in now try and search and touch this Jack I’ll tell you what not far away it’s going to hang
On ducky under falls the wrong way of course it’s good attempt doesn’t make it a whole L Vin’s like how many times does that have to happen his Ball’s falling out a couple of times in the area but when you’re in this sort of situation in this game in the area you
Need them to fall right for you you need to shots so the next game scheduled at what about 12 what times the second one scheduled four yeah about 12:00 and I reckon we’ll start pretty much B on time cuz a majority of games are finishing up and
Rod’s going to no way oh what a shot well it’s making it very very hard now it is I wonder if we’ll see you can see sort of the Jack locked in now that ball of Mary Thompson so they hold a couple that’s irrelevant I think Vinnie’s got
To go this on the forehand try and search up and the kitty will he’ll kill it I think that if if he gets it he’ll come off that second back ball he searches on the forehand up through his own I wonder if the Jacks locked right in to pop out to
The right of screen that would give them or one that’s better than two or three down just a very hard draw on the backand side play that perfect he can see that the the back orange bow of rods um so he knows he’s just got to maybe land that in
Flop I think he’ll go backand he’s got two guys of this skips with three balls are very dangerous so Le if you can set it up every and put the pressure on he going for the back end Dr option SE worse efforts Gussy it’s just I just it’s going to flop out jeez
Well gives it another one out that side yep true what do rod do I think R’s got to try and cover this right hand side of the screen as we see it just in case the Jack pops out that side if any was to change hands I don’t know if any
Settled though on trying to play backand just trying dead draw for one yeah I reckon if you were playing on the back green which runs a little bit quicker the one behind us yeah bit more turn you would be a bit more turn this is there’s not a lot of room for error
In this and Rod’s going to make it even doubly harder well so pretty handy set of three Bs there by ro that is not bad at all does it load up the Jack now through the forehand does it still get out that side just you’ll go and have a look at
This I think there’s no no rush time wise there no plenty of plenty of time plenty of time think V’s looking more to see how he can get the shot I think it’s forhead now just a little bit of contact Jack splashes out to the right of the screen they hold one or
Two that’s the shot for M anyway gy see what V he decides to play he knows this is a big ball he’s going with white on the forehand I think little bit of away oh ah he’s one one two down oh what an effort managed to clear the front
Pack and balls fall over that was a great ball Still Still A C all the way roon so that’ll just about wrap things up as we head into the Final End 169 the lead superb effort from Vincent indeed just didn’t get the right result what a great end of balls from
Rod Mary though superb well he was doing that against me last night he’s he’s he’s he could sounds like he played pretty well against you last night he did he’s continued that form into this morning I run a lot of people into form I’m telling
You so they’ll pick up a a win in their first round of course still a couple games to go so not guaranteed anything just yet I’m pretty confident they’ll continue to play this ditch to ditch length as they continue into round two and three this afternoon it’s worked for them and on
This screen we were find we were playing some long ends yesterday and you really had to make sure your first ball had to be at least you know even was two foot behind it just had to be up yes yep and she’s doing she’s done exactly that yeah
Always in the game then you can bring your next two balls you can bring the trust your pace and bring it back to the to the uh spot it’s very easy to end up two foot short this length and she’s probably won’t be happy with that easy to do
Though your balls is finished for the year has it Sam I’m done yeah finished had enough couldn’t even get a game down here yeah love that that much that might still change yeah you never know you never know you never know you never know no I think from again mate he’s
Playing really good there were people lining up to get into those draws at the minute they know how valuable so it’s a lesson for next year get in early because it’s growing every year I think we’re about 15% up or something on last year so is gr y
Um becoming very very popular as the wood gets around so she started with a nice back ball and she’s just worked her way back to the kitty with the last two have going plenty of activity ah plenty of plenty of messages coming to my phone directly about what’s happening here
This morning good yeah all positive quality of the stream yep always boys are doing a great job I got more screens to look at than I’ve ever had you don’t know where to look you hear the angle you got every angle covered it’s confusing an old man man
You know don’t want to hear you call any wrong shots or wrong Heads This Way no excuses got everything me either we just need spider Cam and we’d have it all that would be quite good imagine that yeah that would be good that’s the next
Step you could you could get a rig going here did you see the footy hit the spider cam the other day at the MCG yeah didn’t know R would that be camera following the ball as it comes down riding behind the whole way yeah I did see it it was just play
On yeah I think think went down the other and kicked a goal need all the help that play on Alaska to about that M he scheduled to be here tomorrow so good area again from Rod such a good area draws just about a resting touch he
He is in watch this man he is in hot form locked in right here follow his results he’s been in ch marriage results the rest of the afternoon the rest of the tournament y clearly in some good form but he’s far away here a this is a great bow and where’s it
Going down two that’s where all the back balls were just what we talked about the start of the end Gussy yep Mary’s always giving her balls a chance in good scoring positions when she’s missed a rod will be trying to take this kid in the ditch you know just just
