Underbool Bowls - Underbool Star Day
It was a perfect day for bowls on Sunday October 21st when President of Underbool Bowls Club Robert Gloster welcomed 60 bowlers to the green. Two fills of 30 playing Triples. Representative Clubs were Euston, Ouyen, Merbein, Nangiloc, Irymple, Hopetoun, Donald, Murrayville, Mildura Workers and Underbool.
There were many compliments of how the tournament was conducted and for the beautiful food provided.
There were four 3 game winners.
Winners of the day were Darren Cass (s), Phil Connell and George Milward from Irymple Bowls Club.
Runners/up: Col Slingo (s), Matty Andrew and Heath Slingo from Nangiloc Bowls Club.
Third Place from Euston Bowls Club were Lyn Parker (s), Noel Johnson and Doug Ancrum.
Many thanks to the Major Sponsor of the successful day, Crowe Horwath.
Underbool Bowls Club would also like to thank Corbett Rural Supplies for their contribution towards the Tournament.
Saturday Pennant lost to Wentworth on October 13th, but come through for a win against Nangiloc on October 20th.
Midweek Pennant No joy for Underbool Team against Mildura on October 15th. And still no joy against Workers on October 22nd. The team is trying hard. The green was good, we are just not winning enough ends. A bye next week.

Junior Tennis
I hope to continue with junior tennis again this year with a slightly different program.
It will be run on a Monday night from 4pm til 5pm, proposed to start on 29th October through to the 3rd of December and then continuing on in the new year once school goes back.
The younger players will be practicing their ball skills with drills and fun games, while the ‘older’ players will do a warm up and then play a 4 game set with scoring and trophies / medals at the end of the season. The player will have to be able to hit/serve (a bit) to play, and will be at our discretion if they are ready for a game or not.
$2 per player each week, they MUST bring a full water bottle and be wearing sunscreen. Grade 3 and up. Extra parent help is also needed. Kristen has offered to take the older ones with the game, and I’ll be doing the drills with the younger ones. To enable this to go ahead, we are seeking more players - particularly older ones. Thank you to those who have already given me names, if there is anyone else who would like to have a go, please contact me ASAP - Kylie 0408393817.
I will also be sourcing some extra tennis coaching throughout the year. I will keep you posted.
