New home for indoor bowls
LAST Monday saw the first night of Warrnambool indoor bowls pennant in the competition’s new home at St John’s school, Dennington.
It proved to be a very successful night and all the games were well contested.
After some interesting results, there are no teams who have won all their games.
This is due to the defeat of the top team in division one, Heytesbury Honeys, led by Peter Baker (s), Lara Mungean, Cherie Mungean and Brett Mungean.
They were defeated by one shot by the Allansford Panthers, comprising James Ruddle (s), Brad Murphy, Allan MacCulloch and Vince Lenehan.
The Panthers went into the last end six shots in front and although the Honeys managed to claw back five shots, the Panthers won 18-17.
In division two, the undefeated Port Fairy Seagulls, Gill Phillips (s), Maurice Mahony, Colin Wilson and Des Phillips met their match in Grangeburn led by Rylan Pech (s), with Jules Pollock, Carol Dunn and Nettie Ryan.
Grangeburn won this encounter 21-10. In division three, the two Dennington teams are sitting four points clear of the rest of the field.
The Dennington Devils are ladder leaders, with the team comprising Keith Cameron (s), Trevor Crow, Cody Childs and Michael Childs.
They are currently on five wins, 20 points and 58 shots up.
The Demons, consisting of Neville Blackmore (s), Kevin Buck, Ann Slattery and Dawn McDowell are also on 20 points and 43 shots up.
Many thanks to the men who had a working bee to move all the mats, bowls and scoreboards to the new venue.
The morning tea after the move was reported to be a very social affair with lots of laughter and fellowship.
