Our bowlers were very happy to be able to play their pennant bowls on Saturday after so much rain last week.
Swan Hill’s Division 4 team recorded a two rink win against Racecourse 5 and were our only team to take out the honours to date.
Some players are still returning after not being available for various reasons, with Division’s 1 and 2 both looking for improved results tomorrow.
Our Midweek teams are also aiming for better results. Players for both Saturday and Tuesday Pennant teams need to bear with the selectors, when team changes need to be made week to week.
Social bowls was enjoyed on Wednesday in pleasant weather conditions, with Graeme Clark and Ken Grey taking out the prize money. We welcome all bowlers who would like to join us – please put your name in before 1pm.
Friday Frolic will be on today – weather permitting and will be followed by the usual activities in the clubhouse, with happy hour and raffles to go ahead regardless.

TOOLEYBUC
