With the second half of the season resuming after the Christmas break, it was hats on and bowls out for Yarra Junction’s bowlers in a home game against Mooroolbark on the weekend.
An unusual game from the start with Mooroolbark down two players unexpectedly, phone calls and redrawing of rinks, and differing opinions of rules and regulations, however the umpire rules in the end. The Eagles pretty well controlled the game from the start while the opposition adjusted to the green. With two opposition teams a member down each, it was going to be a difficult game for them. To their credit, one three team managed to win their rink coming back from behind despite winning fewer ends overall. Those threes per end helped. 113 / 44 was the overall result for the Eagles.
The top spot on the ladder was retained with the tougher games still to come. Tuesday pennant season recommences 21 January.
Friday night Barefoot Bowls was again well supported by our community, with lots of compliments received about the club improvements. See you all again this Friday for week three of six. Bookings for larger groups are preferred. 0406 497 141 or 0411 263 721 Club singles comps are underway, new members are signing up, volunteers are working hard and the club is looking great.
