With several new members the Warburton Bowls Club is very much looking forward to the start of the 2022/23 Pennant Bowls Season on Saturday 15 October.
Last Thursday the Burras held their first ever ‘King of the Hill Tournament’ in perfect conditions at the club. Some 32 players were organised into pairs and bowled three bowls each over 30 ends, moving on after each end, depending upon if they won or lost.
The eventual winners after 30 ends were the combination of Steve Lord and Matt Van Meurs. Runners Up were Terry Heyward and John Bodin. The club thanks all the helpers throughout the day, particularly Shaun Lee-Tet for his overall organisation of the event.
The Burras thank Yarra Junction BC for hosting Sunday’s Pennant Practice Match! A great lead up to the start of the Pennant Season. The club has an Intra club Practice Match this coming Saturday followed by the final practice match against Upwey Tecoma away on 8 September.
Recently the Burras have had a team playing in the Bowls Premier League Cup. With over 120 teams entered from all across Victoria, they finished in the final 12 before being Runner Up to Werribee BC in their section to just miss out on representing Victoria up in Queensland. Well done to the team of Paul Caneva, Shaun Lee-Tet, Steve Lord and Chris Lord.
The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition will commence on 2 November. Any interested new teams are encouraged to contact Glenys Lewis 0473653137 for further details. There are still vacancies for about fpur more teams. This is always an enjoyable opportunity for beginners and people wishing to give the game of bowls a go in a fun environment.
The club welcomes any new or beginning members to join our small but progressive community club. Social Bowls continues to be played on Mondays from 12 midday.
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
GO BURRAS!
