The Warburton Bowls Club Summer Pennant Season commenced on the weekend with two disappointing losses.
Warburton 1 played Lilydale 2 away and went down in an encouraging and close contest 74 shots to 77. Rink scores were as follows: S. Lord 21/ 19; T. Appleton 20/ 22; C. Neale 17/ 15 and S. Lee Tet 16/ 21.
The Burras top side looks forward to this week’s game at home against Boronia 1.
Warburton 2 hosted Healesville 1 at home and the visitors created a strong overall lead early on with some big ends across all rinks. The Burras never gave up but the gap proved too difficult to reduce, going down 50 shots to 102. Well done to Healesville following a game played in great spirit.
Rink scores were G. Lewis 12/ 28; P. Summers 8/ 25; F. Wagenaar 18/ 20 and M. Reynolds 12/ 29. They look to regroup against Ringwood 2 away this weekend.
The Midweek Competition commences on Tuesday 24 October with a game at home against Upwey Tecoma 1.
