Wangaratta Bowls Club Returns To Action

After a well-deserved break over the festive season, the Wangaratta Bowls Club returned to action on Sunday, with members eager to get back on the green. Despite the ongoing hot weather, the day was made all the more enjoyable by a refreshing sea breeze that lingered throughout the afternoon, providing some relief and a pleasant atmosphere for play.
Two triples games and one pairs match were contested on the day. On Rink 5, the pairs competition saw Jocelyn De Franciscis and Alby Vigar emerge victorious, overcoming the team of Lindy Suann and Laurie Land in a closely fought contest. In the triples games, Teresa Willshire, Graeme Read, and Allan Rolfe narrowly defeated Jim Quod, Gavin Charles, and Fely Duncan. Meanwhile, Robyn Stitt, Penny Warren, and Pat Tracey secured a win over Irene Laird, Isobel Wheeler, and Mark Drummond. Unfortunately, the jackpot prize was not won on this occasion.
The new Mixed Competition got off to a competitive start, with the first-round Mixed Pairs match seeing Penny Warren and Allan Rolfe triumph over Herb Dalton and Tiarna Winter. More games in this exciting new competition will be played throughout the week.
For those interested in social play, bowls are scheduled every Tuesday and Sunday afternoon. Players are asked to have their names in by 12:30 pm for a 1:00 pm start. All are welcome, and the club looks forward to seeing many familiar and new faces on the green!
