The heat rolls on but a little more bearable this week, with all planned pennant matches completed.
Pennant Result
Tuesday A2 were at home to Wodonga, this was a tough day at the office for our club with Wodonga taking out a very comfortable win.
B1 were away to Swanpool where they found the competition very strong on their home green, with our team going down on two out of three rinks and overall.
Saturday B2 were at home to Corowa Civic. Good bowls played on all rinks, with a great team spirit evident, resulting in all rinks getting up for a convincing overall result.
B5 were at home to Swanpool, once again good bowls played in great spirit. Our home green advantage gave us the boost we needed wining two of three greens resulting in an overall win.
Two Tuesday matches and one Saturday match to go before the finals. Keep focused and support your team mates and practice, we need to go into the finals strong.
