PETER Bourke has been recognised for many years’ service to the Sportsman’s Association of Australia (Vic. division) with a life membership.
Mr Bourke was presented with his award by Bill Watkins (president of the SAA Victorian division) during last weekend’s annual sports day and presentations for the Corangamite Sportsman’s Club.
Held at the Camperdown Golf Club on Sunday afternoon, the presentations provided a fitting ending to what was a fun-filled day of golf, pool and bowls at various locations in Camperdown and Cobden.
Five clubs from across Victoria were represented on the day – Ballarat, Creswick, Bendigo, Colac and Corangamite.
Some of the competitors have been competing in the sports days for 30 years and always have a great time both on and off the sports grounds.
“It really was a wonderful day, full of sport and laughter,” Corangamite group secretary Andrew Benallack, said.
“We had about 60 players on the day who shared stories and competed in their chosen sports.”
The winners were as follows:
Bowlers – Kevin Clohesy, Bernie Charlesson and Bob Seamans (Creswick); runners-up Peter James, Andrew Whiteside, Gary Fryers and Kevin Russell (Corangamite).
Golf mixed pairs – Ian Urquart and Greg McGlade (Corangamite); Brendan Maher and Graeme Long (Ballarat); runners-up Keith Baker, Andrew Narik, Peter Skene and Andrew Benallack (Corangamite).
Pool – Robin Cawthawn (Creswick), runner-up Peter Carr (Bendigo).
