Bowlers from all over head to Warburton for Tradge Woods Triples Tournament



The Warburton Bowls Club Tradge Woods Triples Tournament was held last Saturday in very warm conditions. Players came from as far as Cobram on the Murray River to participate in two Bowl Triples of four rounds of 10 ends each.

A delicious breakfast and lunch were provided throughout the day, with special thanks to all the Club Volunteers who assisted during the day and help make the day a wonderful success and a massive thank you to the Woods Family once again for sponsoring the event!

After some high standard and exciting bowling, a team from Mitcham Bowls Club won overall. Congratulations to the team of Geoff Hill, Stephen Milsted and Dennis Burke.

The Weekend Warburton 1 side is currently holding onto 5th place on the ladder, and they look forward to regrouping against top side, Ferntree Gully 1, at home this Saturday.

Warburton 2 is currently in 4th place on the ladder and plays Eastwood Golf 1 away this Saturday. It is important that they continue to win at home and snag a couple of away wins leading into the finals to retain their position in the top four.

Warburton’s Midweek side, currently in 2nd place on the ladder, play Mooroolbark 2 at home on January 21.

The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Jack Attack Competition recommences on Wednesday January 22. It has been great to witness the fun, enjoyment and improvement all participants are displaying throughout the season so far.

Food, refreshments, raffles and prizes available during the day. $10 per head or $30 per team of three. Equipment provided. No experience is necessary.
