Underbool Bowls Notes
Saturday Pennant
What an exciting weekend it was for Underbool Bowling Club members!
Firstly there was the Sunraysia District Bowls Pennant Best and Fairest Dinner, held at Mildura on Friday evening 30th November. A meal, a grand performance by the Mildura Irish Dance Company and the all-important counting of the points system allocated to players throughout the various Divisions of the Pennant Season.
Underbool Bowls Club fared extremely well with Robert Gloster topping votes for Saturday Pennant Division 3. Howard Crothers was in the Runners Up count.
Whilst in Midweek Pennant Division 2, Jennifer Stone topped the point’s allocation. Congratulations especially to Robert and Jennifer, and to all Pennant players of the season.
The following day at the Semi Final of Saturday Pennant December 1st, Underbool played Wentworth and had a win of all 3 rinks. Underbool now go straight to the Grand Final to play the winner out of Workers and Wentworth. Best of bowling to all players.
Bernadette Stone, Jen Stone and Noelene Crow travelled to Euston Bowling Club to play in the Star Day and won 2 out of their 3 games. Another great effort.
