Celebrating the final round of the home and away season in the under 11 West competition, the youngsters enjoyed a ‘bowl off’ at the conclusion of the round’s matches.

Competing for the chance to win some new equipment, players were keen to put their skills to the test with the ball.

Eventual winner Bowie Lynch (Merrivale) was thrilled to receive his prize while Tessa Young (Springers Creek) and Max Simpson (Port Fairy) finished runners-up.

On the final round of the under 11 West competition, Merrivale Gold defeated North Warrnambool Red, Port Fairy defeated Dennington and Nestles Maroon defeated Spring Creek.

In other games on Sunday, West Panthers celebrated a win over North Warrnambool Blue and Port Fairy defeated Merrivale Black.
