Midweek Pennant

Division A1 27/54 – played YMGCR at home. This was a rain shortened game but YMGCR proved too strong on the day with all rinks down when rain stopped play for the day. Better luck next week.

Division Ad 55/67 – travelled to Wangaratta. Rain delayed the start of the game but Wangaratta played well in the conditions. S. Rodway held onto a six-shot win however M. Watson and B. Docherty were unable to match their opponents.

Division B2 85/62 – played at Wodonga where they had a very good win. R. McNulty’s rink went down by eight, J. Willett won by three and D. Wood’s rink bowled very well to finish 28 shots in front to set up a winning result for the team. Well played.

Weekend Pennant

Division A1 90/87 – travelled to YMGCR. This was a hard day with only one winning rink.

D. Webb, C. Hendren and K. Webb were not able to match their opposition however the team was saved by T. Webb’s rink with an excellent 27-shot win. Well played.

Division A3 76/93 – played host to Bright. K. Taylor, B. Docherty and G. McIntosh’s rinks found their opponents playing very well and unable to match them on the day. T. Hynes’s rink was able to hold onto an eight-shot win to give them a one-rink victory.

Division B2 68/70 – played Yarrawonga at home. It was a close game all day, R. McNulty’s rink went down by eight shots, B. Corcoran and J. Willett’s rinks held onto two and four-shot wins but just not enough to win overall. Good game.

Division B5 47/86 – travelled to Mulwala. This game proved Mulwala’s position on top on the ladder.

R. Kilpatrick’s rink played very well to finish nine shots up but S. Curtis and D. Castle’s rinks were outplayed on the day. This was the last round of weekend pennant and finals begin next week.

Civics’ division five team finished in third position and will play in the finals. We wish them good luck and good bowling next week.

The Champion of Champions finals are in progress. Thomas Webb will play Ken Widdison next Sunday to decide the men’s champion. Kylie Whitehead and Sharon Warfe played the ladies final. It was a good game but with a fine exhibition of draw bowling Kylie was a clear winner.

Well played Sharon, congratulations Kylie O & M Ladies Champion. Business Houses Fours start on Wednesday, good bowling to all, it’s a great night. See you on the Green.
