SWAN HILL

LAST weekend the challenge was on between the Fireys and the Bush.

The Fireys team came from the Fire Rescue Bowling Club, Moonee Ponds and the boys from the bush were made up from local clubs including the Swan Hill Bowls Club.

The Bush team were determined not to let the city boys get the better of them and prevailed as outright winners by 35 shots.

The best winning rink over the series consisted of, John Caldwell, David Timmins (Murray Downs) and Kane Kendall (Swan Hill).

Thanks to our capable ladies for lunches served on both days that were enjoyed by all.
