Warburton Bowls midweek team continue fine form on return



The Warburton Bowls Club is looking forward to the Pink Ribbon Day to be held on Sunday February 11 from 12 midday with all funds raised going towards Breast Cancer Research.

This popular annual event is always extremely enjoyable and raises valuable funds for a worthwhile cause.

There are still positions left for four more teams of three so please contact Michelle 0437566238, if you would like to enter a team.

Entry is $10 per head ($30 per Team), playing three games of two bowl triples as well as raffle, prizes and a sauasage sizzle

Female and Male Entries of all abilities including beginners are welcomed and all entries need to be in by January 30.

The Burras are also looking forward to the Summer Pennant Season continuing after the break. Also, all the Intra Club Competitions are reaching the exciting final stages following several close and exciting games.

In the Pennant Competition, the third placed Weekend Warburton 1 side will play the second placed Upwey-Tecoma 1 on January 20 at home, looking to jump above them on the ladder leading up to the finals.

The Warburton 2 side are determined to improve on their disappointing results before the break starting with the game against Heatherdale 1 away.

The Midweek side hosted Heathmont 3 in trying conditions on the Tuesday before Christmas and continued their fine form with a solid victory, 73 shots to 41.

Rod McKail’s rink had a day out winning 29/ 5. Dean Thomas’s rink lost an exciting battle, 19/ 21, with the jack moving on the last bowl of the day. Greg Walsh’s rink started brilliantly and managed to keep the opposition at bay to win 25/ 15.

The Burras remain in second place on the ladder and face Healesville 1 away on January 23.

The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Triples Competition re-commences on Wednesday January 24.

Social Bowls continues to be played on Mondays from 12 midday with everyone including new and beginning players encouraged to attend.
