The spring rains put a dampener on the weekend bowls as both pennant matches were washed out, resulting in nine points each for both teams.
Not a bad result considering.
Warburton One drew with Lilydale Two while Warburton Two drew with Heathmont Five.
Warburton One next play Boronia One at home while the seconds play Monbulk Two away.
After last week’s close loss, the Midweek side was back to winning ways against Upwey-Tecoma at home on Wednesday.
The green rolled surprisingly well after all the rain and Warburton kicked away to hold a good lead at the break.
After the break, the opposition rallied, particularly one rink, as the scores got uncomfortably close before the end.
The Burras managed to hold on to win 68 shots to 58.
It was great to see one of our new players, Ben Reed, bowl well in his first pennant game.
Rink scores were as follows: S. Freestone 7/ 33; R. McKail 34/ 13 and G. Walsh 27/ 12.
They play Boronia One away on Tuesday this week.
The Jack Attack Triples Competition commenced on Wednesday, with six new teams participating in the 16 Team competition.
Ryan Harford, from the Bowl Movement team, won the prize for being the first person to hit the jack.
Carole Andueza, from the Can’t Remember team, won a prize for her dress up for the Cup Day Theme.
Results were:
La La’s def Bowl Controllers; Gunners def Stirling Effort; Sheep Assist def Bowled and the Beautiful; Can’t Remember def Pensioners; Wessie Wonders def T.B.C; Giddy Gout def Lawn Rangers; Bowl Movement def Bowls to the Wall and Thomos def Hit the Jack.
It was great to see the more experienced teams assisting the new teams throughout the evening.
The club looks forward to an enjoyable season.
