Underbool Bowls Notes
Saturday Pennant Well what a triumph, what a finish to the Saturday Pennant season! Underbool Division 3 playing Workers 3 along with the other 3 Pennant Division Teams of Sunraysia Bowls.
Workers had the edge right up to afternoon tea break with Underbool 13 down overall. But to quote President Robert Gloster “Steve Simmonds’ rink were all square on 19 shots with 3 ends to play and proceeded to put the foot down picking up 10 shots which changed the overall outlook somewhat.
Robert (Glosters) rink was in all sorts of trouble at the 15th being 17 shots down. However following afternoon tea they picked up 18 shots to 4 to only go down by 3 shots.
Howard Crothers rink had a close tussle all day, but the pressure was on being the last rink to finish and protecting an overall Team margin of 4 with one end to play. They survived a dead end and proceeded to pick up a shot, the rink going down by 2 but the Underbool Team winning overall by 5.” Underbool 71 shots to Workers 66. A great crowd of supporters added to the excitement of the day and along with the two teams from Ouyen Division 4 and 2 winning their games, it is congratulations to the southern bowlers of the Sunraysia District Bowls and to Irymple on winning Division 1.
Photos, Presentation of Medals and Shields brought a close to Pennant for 2018, but the excitement and celebrations will no doubt continue on for many days.
Ladies Singles Championship Finals. These commenced on Monday 17th December at Mildura Bowls Club, Underbool’s Champion Jennifer Wakefield played Mildura’s Champion Val Munro. Jennifer played very well but Val was the winner of the game.
Plenty more bowls to be played yet but with the Christmas break coming up it is Season’s Greetings to all and good bowling fellowship.
