Another great week for bowls, and the finals are upon us.
Pennant Result
Tuesday A2 was at home to near neighbours YMGCR, a close game all day with the team
in front when it mattered. A good finish to a very frustrating season.
B1 was away to YMGCR.
Some very competitive bowls played, with our team able to hold on and be in front when it mattered, now on to the finals.
We will travel to Benalla on Tuesday to meet Yarrawonga in the qualifying final.
Saturday saw the finals begin with both our sides engaged in qualifying finals.
B2 travelled to Corowa RSL to take on Benalla, winning 2 out of 3 rinks and coming home with a strong win.
They now go straight to the Grand Final in a couple of weeks.
B5 travelled to Corowa Civic to take on Corowa RSL.
Strong performances on two rinks were able to cover the third rink who struggled all day, a great team effort to come away with the win. They are also now straight through to the Grand Final.
What a great performance from both our teams however the job is not yet finished, keep focused.
A big thanks must go to our members Graham, Cliff, Helen, Anita and Judy, who stayed at our club on duty for the Yarrawonga YMGCR A1 final, your dedication to our club is greatly appreciated.

YMGCR Bowls
Finals fever has arrived at YMGCR.
Fielding 5 teams in the finals series and achieving an amazing 50% of teams competing at this end of the season, is no mean feat.
It gives all us non-finals playing bowlers the opportunity to get behind our teams and cheer them on at their various venues.
The teams would really appreciate your support.
Venues will be found on the team selection boards, so get a car load together and come on down. Go Border.

Pennant results
Midweek pennant February 12 – A1 played Benalla and lost with just 1 rink getting up.
B1 played Wareena Park and lost with 1 rink having a draw.
A1 finished third on the ladder and B1 finished 1st, a great effort by all.
By the time this goes to print, the Midweek A1 and B1 will have played their first final. Results for these games will be in next week’s report.
We wish both teams good bowling in the finals.
Weekend Pennant- February 16.
The A1 team played YMGCR in the Elimination Final at Club Mulwala. Unfortunately YMGCR were too good on the day coming out the winners.
We wish YMGCR all the best for the rest of the finals.
We congratulate the weekend A1 team for getting into the finals finishing third. Well done to all that played or filled in to get them there.
Maybe next year we can go even further.
We have almost completed the Club Championships for the year.
The Open Club Triples and fours are just waiting on the final to be played.
Results for the past week were –
Monday February 11 winners – J Hermassoo and C Gentle. Runners Up – M Tuttleby and J Park.
The jackpot was claimed by L Lockhead and M Millson.
Wednesday was cancelled due to low numbers. A few people put 2 teams together and had a fun game anyway (they played for approximately 2 hours).
We are sorry that we must cancel some games at times, we need a certain number of people to run these games and during this busy bowling period we cannot always get the numbers.
Thursday, February 13 – Twilight Bowls was played and the winners on the night were D Marshall and D Gavin. Runners Up – G Lawless and C Carlson.
Next week’s games are Monday 2-4-2 and Wednesday jackpot triples. These games start at 12.30pm and names need to be down by 11am on the day.
Twilight Bowls start at 6.30pm with a sausage sizzle beforehand at 6pm. A very popular night and a good time to be had by all.
To any members that are not well at the moment, we wish you a speedy recovery.
Good bowling, good health and good fellowship to all.
