We sent a team to the annual event. Back story – the Sharks have been circling this tournament
since its inception 7 years ago, and we still haven't been asked to leave.
In fact, a Sharks team of Bear and Brett Rickwood won the very first one, a result they have
generously reminded everyone about the win ever since.
This year our team went again, finishing 2nd on shots. The school of sharks were undefeated, 4
wins for the day: 4s in the morning, 2 games of pairs and a final game of 4s. Undefeated and still
only 2nd; clearly the maths was done on a damp wet green.
The real challenge is opening on a damp wet green before moving to the synthetic. Our longerserving members were on their hands and knees beforehand, smelling the grass and
worshipping their roots – the rest of the field assumed they'd lost a contact lens.
Congrats to Brett, Bear, Con and Skipper Whitty. A big thanks to North Perth bowling club on another great charity 4's event.
