The Warburton Bowls Club took another step in the right direction with two out of three sides recording victories this week.
Hopefully, they can achieve a clean sweep this coming week.
The Midweek Warburton team travelled to Upwey and recorded a close victory, 63 shots to 58, with two rinks successful.
Rink scores were G. Walsh 22/ 21; S. Lord 21/ 14 and R. McKail 20/ 23. They play Croydon 2 at home on Wednesday.
The Warburton Bowls Club wish the Upwey Bowls Club all the very best after the devastation to their rinks following last week’s rain and flood event.
The Weekend Warburton 1 team played at home against Montmorency 1.
In a close contest both sides had the lead at some point before the visitors withstood a fightback from the Burras to win by 8 shots, 81 to 73.
Rink scores for the Burras were: A. Donohue 23/ 22; P. Caneva 20/ 20; C. Neale 14/ 20 and T. Appleton 16/ 19. They travel away this week to play Yarraville/ Footscray 2.
The Warburton 2 team played at home against Chirnside Park 2.
The Burras quickly gained the lead and continued to increase it throughout to record a wonderful 96 shots to 58 victory.
Rink scores were: F. Wagenaar 37/ 9; G. Wynd 23/ 12; N. Whelan 21/ 17 and S. Darwall 15/ 20. They play Boronia 3 at home this week as they look to continue their improved form.
The Burras thank Yarra Junction Bowls Club for hosting the Bankers Games once again on Saturday.
This provides valuable practice in preparation for future Pennant Competition. The Burras look forward to hosting the Eagles this week.
