This week the Mulwala crew had 13 players on Wednesday for their social bowls with winners being Ian Cumming and one of the new bowlers in Terry Baxter.
Runners up were Anne Miles and Terry’s wife Lyn, good to see some new talent coming through.
On Sunday there were 6 people at the coaching day and Anne was saying that they are improving and really enjoying their bowls.
Last week, with a touch of jealousy, I said the champs from Yarra and then I realised that both our ladies and men’s singles current champions both reside in Mulwala.
Oh well I got that one wrong (won’t be the last).
Some of the newer bowlers in the lower divisions are really showing a lot of improvement.
Watch a few of them on Monday at Yarrawonga and boy they are really showing that with practice and coaching they are ready to take the next step. They will certainly be pushing for selection in the higher grades in the pennant season and that what the club needs. Last week one of the bowlers put his phone on his wife’s car bonnet and of course she drove off to do the shopping and it magically disappeared, so if any one see’s a phone around the Bunnings vicinity on the highway, please call Ray Brown on his new phone.
With the border being closed, the players from YMGCR would like to thank Yarrawonga Bowls Club for making our members feel welcomed, but we must remember we all do things differently (so Brownie please put your name on the card….. didn’t have a good week.)
Yarrawonga Bowls
We have been enjoying social bowls for the past month or so and were pleased to have bowlers from the other clubs join in.
Unfortunately, from Thursday August 6 there will be no more bowls until further notice.
This as you would all realise, is due to the new Covid restrictions.
We hope the new restrictions will help to get things back on track and we look forward to once again getting back to bowls in hopefully, the not too distant future.

Until then, take care and stay safe.
