The much anticipated midweek pennant competition got underway last week but not with the results hoped for.
With the tough slow green at Eastern Golf being a big change from the green at Junction, the Eagles failed to adapt with Eastwood Golf taking full points for the round.
With 13 more rounds in the season to enjoy there’s lots of time to improve and enjoy the comp.
By contrast the weekends teams both had positive results.
Yarra Junction Two recorded a win away at Berwick,under cover, a new experience for all the team many of whom were first year players.
After taking a while to adjust to the different surface they went into the break one rink down, one ahead and two teams even.
A continued improvement after the break with two of the rinks winning by convincing margins saw the Eagles come out on top after a fun enjoyable day.
Yarra Junction One was also sprinkled with first year players played at home against Cockatoo and also provided them with a substitute player.
Rink scores were mixed with some closely fought ends all round and a six down on one end close to the end of play.
With an overall winning margin of 20 points, it was a great day’s play enjoyed at home.
We are fortunate to have so many beginning new players playing so well and enjoying pennant so far this year.
Returning players and transfers have also contributed to the strength of this year’s teams at the “happy club”.
The future looks good.
