Winter indoor bowls begins
THE winter pennant season has begun for Warrnambool Indoor Bowls.
The new season began last Monday, April 8, with 26 teams representing nine clubs.
Those entered include Allansford (eight teams), Dennington (three), Wannon Park (six), City Memorial (two), Koroit (two), Cooramook (two) and one team from Port Fairy, Grangeburn and Lawn Tennis.
This season’s pennant will see 104 players competing each week.
The Allansford Cats, skippered by Jacinta Marney, now sit on top of the division one ladder after the first game.
Also with a first round win were the defending premiers, Allansford Tigers, skippered by James Ruddle.
James put on a great display of bowling which showed that he hadn’t lost any of his talent over the break.
Making up the top four are the Les Lenehan skippered Dennington High 5’s and Maureen Drennan’s Wannon Park Dogs.
Division two has the Dennington Devils on top, with Allansford Panthers, Allansford Cougars and Dennington Dashers making up the four.
In division three Grangeburn had a big win, giving skipper Rylan Pech an early 18th birthday present.
They are followed by Cooramook Sinners, City Raiders and Wannon Park Barkers.
One of the competition’s long-standing members, Brian Arnold from Port Fairy, celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary over the break and members send their congratulations to Brian and his wife on this achievement.
