In the first round Kim Alexander and Vee Brown took on Carol Doggett and Tony Mc Sorley.
Kim and Vee were quick out of the blocks leading nine nil after four ends before taking the first set 15-2.
The second set saw Kim and Vee get away well to lead 6 nil. Carol and Tony came back to trail 6-3 then 8-5 before going down 9-5 giving Kim and Vee the win.
In another first round game Craig and Kerry Brown took on Bev Milton and Pommie Williams. Milton and Williams got away first but it was the Browns who took the first set 9-4. The second set stated the same way with Williams scoring first but with one end to go Brown lead 6-4.
A 4 on the last end saw Williams level the sets and so a tie breaker was needed with the Browns winning the game. The first round play or forfeit applies this Saturday with the second round on Sunday.
Despite the iffy weather Wang took on the visiting Mudgee Bowlers on Saturday. Played over 15 ends of turnabout triples after some good bowls mixed up with some very ordinary bowls the scores were level on three rinks each with Wang taking out the aggregate.
