We are pleased to report a great week of bowling from all of our Eagles this week.
Three games, three wins going into the midpoint of the season is extremely encouraging.
The Midweek Division Four needed a good win being at the bottom of the ladder, and the home game against Croydon was the opportunity to step up.
Step up they did starting strongly on all rinks and continuing throughout the day edging further and further in front to a 99/ 28 victory.
All three rinks reached above the 30 shot mark.
Despite the great result the bottom rung of the ladder still belongs to YJBC.
However, the good news is, now only 13 shots separate third position from eighth.
This emphasises the importance of a win to remain in contention for the second half of the season.
The next and last match for the year is home game against Eastwood Golf who hold top spot.
The Eagles are ready for the challenge.
The weekend teams both also performed extremely well.
Division Six played at home against Lilydale, in muggy conditions determined to perform well after losing to Lilydale away by four points in the first round.
The home ground advantage, some great play and steady progress worked well for three rinks whilst the fourth rink had more of a battle with many winning shots being taken by some well-placed opposition upshots.
On the last end at 17/15 a draw was possible but the Eagles’ skipper’s last bowl saved the day reducing the two shot opposition win to one.
Final score 17/16 with an overall team score of 104 to 53. Next week the Eagles fly to Cockatoo.
Division Eight played Monbulk away for the first time this season as their previous set match in round three was washed out.
It was a tough but friendly match played in humid conditions.
A rally after the break resulted in two rinks pulling ahead and the third falling short by just four shots.
A final result 55/45 in the Eagles favour also keeps them well positioned going into the Christmas break being second on the ladder only four points behind Berwick.
Next weeks game will be at Healesville on a tougher green.
The club has and continues to host many pre-Christmas functions, including bowls and dinner at the club.
