A mixed bag of results for the Warburton Bowls Club during the past week with only the Midweek side enjoying victory.
The weekend Warburton One side hosted a strong Monbulk One side determined to hold them off.
However, the Hawks were too good overall to bring the Burras down in a disappointing loss for the home side, 57 shots to 76.
Rink scores were:
S. Lord 16/ 13; T. Appleton 14/ 21; C. Lord 17/ 20 and C. Neale 10/ 22.
The Burras top side face another challenge against Heathmont Two away this weekend, hoping to return to form.
Warburton Two’s game against Eastwood Golf One away was disappointingly cancelled due to the wet weather conditions, resulting in nine points each for both sides.
They play Vermont South Three at home this weekend.
Warburton’s Midweek side hosted Healesville One, needing a win to get their season back on track.
It was a tight struggle early in two rinks, while Greg Walsh’s rink powered away.
In the end, all three rinks maintained their composure to record a comfortable victory, 68 shots to 41.
Rink scores were:
A. Dostie 23/ 15, R. McKail 20/ 18 and G. Walsh 25/ 8.
The Burras play Yarra Glen One at home this week, eager to stay on the winner’s list.
Fortunately, the wet weather cleared for the Jack Attack Triples Competition last Wednesday.
Aidan McNiff from the La La’s Team, won the prize for the first person to hit the jack.
