It’s been another great week at the Yarra Junction Bowling Club as the season winds down slowly.
The six-week barefoot bowls sessions have come to an end after massive community support. Over 400 community members have taken part, 36 plus volunteers have given their time and energy to running the event and feedback has again been very positive for the club and its future planning. Community bowls is great fun and will be back, there is no doubt. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed over the last few weeks again proving that bowls is a sport anyone can enjoy.
The business end of the competitive season is now the main focus for the club. The midweek round was a bye for the Eagles last Tuesday. With one round to go the Eagles currently sit in third position so a final spot is assured. This week’s game against Mooroolbark could possibly alter that position to second if the Eagles perform well but nothing is taken for granted and a third spot would ensure a home game playoff in the final series which could be advantageous.
The weekend team has had a great year securing a runaway top spot for the final series. The first final game will be a home game against Mooroolbark 6 starting at 1pm Saturday 22 February at YJBC. As a small club most of the members will be involved in playing. Come support us and enjoy a day of great competition at your local club.
The Annual Presidents Day challenge open to all clubs is again set to take place on Good Friday 18 April 2025. 14 teams of four players playing three games of 10 ends will play off for $2000 prize pool. Entries are now open for what’s set to be another great event at the club. Contact Ian MacGregor
