Unfortunately, the Warburton Bowls Club failed to continue the improved form from the previous week with all pennant sides going down in disappointing performances.
The weekend Warburton 1 side played the top side Mooroolbark 1 away on their grass green and struggled overall to handle the breezy conditions before going down 64 shots to 88.
However, full credit to Chris Neale’s rink who fought back from a 12-shot deficit early in the game to record a 6-shot victory.
Rink scores were as follows: S. Lord 15/ 26; T. Appleton 14/ 23; C. Neale 23/ 17 and S. Lee- Tet 12/ 22.
The Burras top side looks forward to regrouping at home this weekend against Monbulk 1.
Warburton 2 played the top side Vermont South 2 at home. Despite gaining an early lead, the Burras couldn’t hold off a determined fightback from the opposition before going down, 53 shots to 84.
Rink scores were G. Wynd 11/ 29; P. Summers 12/ 15; F. Wagenaar 16/ 16 and M. Reynolds 14/ 24. They too look forward to regrouping against Croydon 3 away this weekend.
Playing at home the Midweek side came up against a determined Healesville 1 combination who handled the hot conditions extremely well. The Burras suffered their first loss for the season going down 55 shots to 61.
Rink scores were as follows: S. Lord 23/ 13; G. Walsh 17/ 24 and R. McKail 15/ 24. They now face Monbulk 1 away this week on their tricky fast green.
The first round of the Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition, sponsored by Yarra Valley Professionals Real Estate, was unfortunately washed out due to the stormy weather last week.
Hence it will now commence this Wednesday 15 November with a doubleheader, two rounds of 8 ends each. All Teams are asked to be at the club by 6.30pm for a roll up in preparation for the 7pm start.
Social Bowls continues to be played on Mondays from 12 midday with everyone including new and beginning players encouraged to attend.
