SWAN HILL
THE Swan Hill Bowls Club’s 57th Autumn Carnival ended on Monday, with an any combination triples event, after 10 days of bowls.
Some bowlers bowled almost every day, heading back to their respective homes rather weary and some travelling from Warrnambool, Melbourne and Ballarat.
See below for some of this week’s results.
Today, Friday Frolic will be back on at the usual starting time of 3pm, enter your names by 2.30pm to be in the running for the jackpot, which is close to $200 and well worth having a crack at.
