The winter and spring months didn’t stop the Yarra Junction bowlers from enjoying the sport and getting on the green at any opportunity.
A very successful winter pairs tournament was held in August along with the club presentation and awards night dinner.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of life membership to the current and well-respected club president Ian MacGregor.
Ian has contributed to the development of the club in so many ways over the years he is a well-deserved recipient of this award.
September marked the opening of the green for the new season with 20 plus volunteers sprucing up the facilities grounds and green, a great turnout for a small club.
The 100 up competition was completed with Jason being the victor in a tight quality game with Howard, and interclub practice matches were held with Yarra Glen, Warburton, Cockatoo, Mooroolbark, Healesville and Garfield.
With several new members having joined the club this year coaching and interclub practice days were a great introduction to the sport.
The first round of competition for the 2025/26 commenced on Saturday 26 October and for the first time in many years YJBC entered two teams in the weekend competition, with seven players playing their first pennant game.
Having been promoted to Division Six after last year’s success Junction One competed against Lilydale away going down by a narrow four shots, winning on two rinks and drawing on one.
The inaugural Junction Two Division Eight had success at home with a six shot and two rinks win over Chirnside Park CC / Eastwood Golf.
