Yarra Junction bowls report for the last game pre Christmas.
The Yarra Junction Eagles’ midweek side welcomed top of the ladder side Eastwood Golf to the nest.
Needing a win to progress up the ladder in the new year the Eagles were on their game, winning 81 shots to 42 and two rinks to one overall.
The result earned the Eagles 14 points positioning the side fifth on the ladder going into the Christmas break. – A very good win!
Rink Scores: Jason 36-5, Marty 30-15, Howard 15-25.
The two Saturday sides had mixed results.
The Seconds had a hard task travelling to Healesville to play on a slow green.
The Eagles tried hard but with a depleted side due to absentees, Healesville were too strong, resulting in Eagles going down 92 to 23.
With the Yarra Junction side still second on the ladder and a return of players, the side should look forward to a strong performance in the New Year.
The Firsts travelled in the mist to Cockatoo needing a win to keep top spot on the ladder.
Half time break saw the Eagles 15 shots up with plenty to work still to do.
After a strong comeback from Cockatoo, the Eagles got home by four shots and two winning rinks.
The win keeps them ten points clear on top.
The score was Yarra Junction 83 to Cockatoo 79.
Rink scores: Howard 12-32, Jason 24-15, Adrian 32-7, Johnny 16 -25.
With the addition of a second Saturday pennant side this season, the club is in good stead for a successful year.
Starting on 9 January, Yarra Junction bowls club will again be hosting Friday night barefoot social bowls for $10 per head.
The bar will be open with a sausage sizzle.
