Berrigan

Once again, rain played havoc with the schedule at Berrigan Community Bowls Club but there was some bowls played in between the showers.

The Midweek Pennant team travelled to Numurkah Golf and narrowly went down 57 (1) to 63 (15).

Elaine Hawkins and her team of Garry Seamer, Nan Dart and Janice Graham had a 23-23 draw while Glenys McKay lost 18-19 and Mary Curtin lost 16-21.

Unfortunately, this week's match at home against Tocumwal was called off.

All Saturday pennant was cancelled but a break in the weather saw Berrigan and Barooga hastily arrange a practice match for Divisions 1, 3 and 5 at Berrigan, played under pennant conditions.

The Division 3 team was the stars on the day, winning overall.

The newly promoted Division 1 team lost all three rinks but showed enough to indicate they will be competitive this season.

Division 5 fought back hard against a strong Barooga line-up and were not disgraced by any means.

This week, Division 1 travels to Katandra West.

Both teams are newly promoted and will look to start their campaign with a win.

Division 3 will take on Cobram at Cobram and Division 5 plays Cobram at home.

Based on the forecast weather, the club made an early decision to postpone the Jack McGrillen Open Triples Tournament scheduled for Sunday.

The event will now be played in early 2023, at a date to be determined.

Kinder weather saw the first round of Friday twilight bowls.

Twilight bowls starts at 6pm, with all welcome for a fun evening.
