NARRE WARREN BOWLS
On a very hot day that threatened to be cancelled due to the heat policy the Narre Warren Bowls Club Division 1 side travelled to Cheltenham knowing that a good result would put them in the top four.
Unfortunately after a very close game it was not Narre Warren’s day, going down to a classy Cheltenham team 73-79.
The second team also travelled to Cheltenham and, after last week’s win, were hoping to make it two in a row.
The game was played in very trying conditions and was a stop-start game due to umpire decisions on the heat.
Narre Warren eventually came away with a very good win away from home, 82-74.
The third team started early, trying to get the game in before it got too hot, and travelled to Premier League club Clayton.
They also had a very stop-start game due to the heat.
In a very close game, with very little in it all day, Clayton got the better of Narre Warren with a final score of 80-82.
Narre Warren’s fourth side got to play this week at the Panther Dome and came up against a very strong team from Parkdale.
In another very close game Narre Warren was able to win two rinks but unfortunately Parkdale was too strong on the day, winning 82-85.
Narre 5 travelled to top-of-the-table Pakenham on Saturday expecting a very hard game and that is what Pakenham delivered.
It was not a great day for Narre Warren who was outclassed on all rinks going down 64-93.
Narre 6 also played under the Panther Dome on Saturday and this week had two players playing their first game of bowls.
They were Heather George and Samantha Cole-Surjan, with both players having good games and walking off with smiles on their faces.
The team played our friends from Upwey Tecoma and NWBC had a very close win, 86-83.
The Ferguson Plarre rink of the day award goes to: Karen Anderton; Gillian Wright; Robert Dalzell and David Stevens at +11.
This week Narre Warren has three players playing in the Sandbelt region finals.
Dean George is playing in the Men’s Novice Final and Wilma Stevenson and Judy Naughton are playing in the Ladies Pairs final.
Both these games are being played Friday night at Burden Park BC.
