The Warburton Bowls Club had their final practice match on Saturday away against Upwey in preparation for the start of the 2022/ 23 Metropolitan Pennant Season.

The Burras thank the Upwey Club for their wonderful hospitality throughout the afternoon including the social gathering and BBQ following the games.

The Division 2 Section 4 Midweek Warburton 1 team play their round 1 game against Lilydale 1 away this Tuesday as they look forward to a strong start.

The Division 1 Section 2 Warburton 1 team play Mulgrave C.C. away in round 1 this Saturday. While the Division 5 Section 6 Warburton 2 team will play at home against Croydon 4 in the first round.

This season, members who are not selected in the respective weekly Weekend Pennant Sides, will play in a Bankers’ Competition with the Yarra Junction Bowls Club. This will ensure all members from both clubs have the opportunity to play most weekends in preparation for their time to step up into the Pennant Sides.

Intra Club Competitions will also commence shortly, with good numbers entered.

One of the club’s new members, Damian Key, has reached the Final of the Eastern Ranges Bowls Region Novice Men’s Singles Championship following a 21/ 2 victory in the Semi Final on Sunday. Well done, Damian!

The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition will commence on November 2.

Any interested new teams are encouraged to contact Glenys Lewis 0473653137 for further details.

This is always an enjoyable opportunity for beginners and people wishing to give the game of bowls a go in a fun environment. Two bowl triples. 16 ends. All equipment provided. Food provided and drinks available from the Bar. All teams will play in the finals on the last night of the season.

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 with excellent numbers regularly participating. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun!
