Burras gear up for season

By Garry Lewis

Following an uncertain start to this year’s bowls season, the Warburton Bowls Club is set to commence play on 28 November.

The club is working to ensure that all Covid-19 guidelines and protocols are followed accordingly.

Following the achievements of the Warburton 1 Saturday Team last season, who won its section and reached the divisional semi final before losing to the eventual winners, MCC, the club is looking forward to another exciting season.

It will enter three Saturday Pennant teams in Division 1, Division 5 and the 6-a-side spring season.

There is also a Division 2 Tuesday Midweek Competition.

In a statement, the club said it aimed to continually improve across all levels and provide an enjoyable and friendly social environment.

“Bowls is a fun, relaxing, friendly game for people of all age groups,” the statement said.

“Considering the recent restrictions we have all been experiencing, it provides a wonderful opportunity to get outside and participate in a healthy and safe sporting environment within our local community.”

The club’s popular Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Competition will most likely commence in February next year with a reduced format.

The Burras are encouraging new players to join them. To find out more, visit warburtonbowls.bowls.com.au.
