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.
