A small bowls club that punches above its weight



Yarra Junction Bowling Club may be small, but it holds it own.

There is a lot of travelling involved for members, with the club taking on opponents as far away as Auburn and Hawthorn.

The time committed could be up to seven hours on match day, however, this also allows for plenty of time socialising and team bonding.

The first round of Pennant for this year provided favourable results for the club.

The weekend Pennant team had a strong 117-56 shot win over visitors Hawthorn 3 to maintain the top position on the ladder.

This result showed the strength and consistency of the team.

The Midweek Pennant team results were mixed.

The 12-a-side team played a hard fought, three shot, win over visitors Doncaster 6.

However, the 6-a-side team travelled to Bennettswood and came away empty-handed.

Despite the loss, the side continues to look forward to finals action.

Yarra Junction Bowling Club has recently announced the return of Barefoot Bowls.

The event will be held on Friday evenings at 6.30pm, starting Friday 31 January and running until the end of the bowling season.

All regulars and new visitors are welcome to join with friends and family.

Lawn Bowls is a game for all ages and abilities and members at the Yarra Junction Bowling Club are very dedicated to their sport.
