Yarra Glen Lawn Bowls Club:
Plans were put in place to keep the Premier’s side dreams alive but didn’t quite come to fruition this week as the side went down to Bundoora. The top side will find it hard now to maintain its position in Premier League although a good win against Essendon might help. They fought the hard fight but only came home with 1 rink for the day (well done Smitty) with other rinks only narrowly missing out. The biggest news this week was Matthew Creighton (athlete) who progressed through the Regional Singles Champion of Champions last Sunday and now plays Barry Lester in the final, next Sunday, noon at Bennetswood. Jenny Tirant won her first round of Regional Single Champion of Champions and fought valiantly in the second round only narrowly missing out. Along with Matthew, Troy Stafford and Mathew O’Brien will compete for the Regional Pairs Semi Final at the same time. Big day for Yarra Glen BC.
The undefeated side in Midweek Division 4 went down to Chirnside Park however still sitting pretty on top of the ladder, Div 1 team continued its winning way over 6th placed Ringwood to maintain 3rd position and with a good win next round a home final might just be the outcome. Saturday’s Division 4 also keep their finals campaign alive with a comfortable win over Chirnside Park, one more game against 5th placed Mooroolbark may see another team playing a home final. Div 2 had a hard battle against Eltham and will finish its season campaign against Burwood District, Div 7 had a bye against Chirnside Park – hard to believe that the season is coming to an end already.
