This season, members who are not selected in the respective weekly Weekend Pennant Sides, will play in a Bankers’ Competition with the Yarra Junction Bowls Club. This will ensure all members from both clubs have the opportunity to play most weekends in preparation for their time to step up into the Pennant Sides.
Intra Club Competitions will also commence shortly, with good numbers entered.
One of the club’s new members, Damian Key, has reached the Final of the Eastern Ranges Bowls Region Novice Men’s Singles Championship following a 21/ 2 victory in the Semi Final on Sunday. Well done, Damian!
