Warburton Bowls suffer defeat all round



Unfortunately, all Warburton’s pennant sides went down over the past week, despite playing determinedly in all games.

Warburton One played Croydon Two away and led for most of the first half on their grass green.

The home side lifted in the second half to claw back the lead and hold onto a 25-shot victory, 95 shots to 70.

Rink scores were:

S. Lord 11/ 37; T. Appleton 25/ 15; G. Walsh 19/ 22 and C. Neale 15/ 21.

The Burras next play Monbulk One at home determined to have a more positive result.

Warburton Two hosted top side Mooroolbark Four at home and tried their best across all rinks before going down by 13 shots overall, 77 to 90.

Rink scores were:

S. Darwall 26/ 15; D. Key 14/ 28; P. Summers 22/ 21 and P. Woods 15/ 26.

They play Eastwood Golf One away this weekend in another challenge for the Burras.

Warburton’s Midweek side travelled to Croydon on Tuesday hoping to kickstart their season.

After a tight first session, the Burras began to extend their slender lead and looked good for the win.

But Croydon Two fought back in the last couple of ends to claim victory, 57 shots to 52.

Rink scores were:

A. Dostie 20/ 21, R. McKail 12/ 20 and G. Walsh 20/ 16.

The Burras play Healesville One at home this week, determined to get back on the winners list.
