The Midweek Warburton 1 side showed great resilience to fight back from an earlier loss last
week, to earn their spot in the Sectional Grand Final this week.
Last Tuesday, Warburton’s Midweek team travelled to table topping Heathmont 2 for a
semi-final.
The winner would go straight into the Grand Final this week.
In a close and topsy turvy game, Heathmont came out on top by 8 shots, 54 to 46.
Rink scores were as follows: R. McKail 14/ 15, C. Boland 20/ 24 and G. Walsh 12/ 15.
As a result, the Burras played the in form Yarra Glen 1 at home on Thursday in the
Preliminary Final, for the right to play in this week’s Sectional Grand Final against Heathmont
2.
After a shaky start, two rinks powered away while the third, despite losing, had limited
damage.
The Burras came away with a well-deserved victory, 59 shots to 40, to earn their
spot in this week’s Sectional Grand Final.
Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 23/ 8, R. McKail 25/ 11 and C. Boland 11/ 21.
The final round of the Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Jack Attack Competition was held
