The Warburton Bowls Club continued its steady improvement with all Pennant teams victorious this week.
The weekend Warburton 1 side played Upwey- Tecoma 1 away winning two rinks and drawing the other two. This resulted in scoring 16 points from their 89 shots to 62 victory.
Rink scores were as follows: S. Lord 16/ 16; T. Appleton 28/ 18; C. Neale 20/ 20 and S. Lee-Tet 25/ 8.
The Burras top side looks forward to the challenge of playing their section’s top side, Mooroolbark 1, away this weekend.
Warburton 2 played Heatherdale 1 at home in superb bowling conditions. Heatherdale were quick off the mark creating a handy lead in the early stages of the game, before the Burras fought back well to achieve a slight lead at the break.
The second half saw the determined Burras side pull away by playing longer ends to achieve a well-deserved 88 shots to 58 victory, winning three rinks and losing one.
Rink scores were G. Lewis 26/ 11; P. Summers 27/ 12; F. Wagenaar 16/ 21 and M. Reynolds 19/ 14.
