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.
