Weekend Pennant was once again cancelled due to flooding on district greens. Castlemaine Bowling Club is very fortunate to have two very good surfaces which drain and dry out very quickly. As a result we were able to hold Social Bowls on Saturday with green full, bowlers keen to enjoy out and playing. Our thoughts are with the clubs struggling with water and debris over their surfaces and surrounds.
Midweek Pennant was played in lovely sunny conditions on Monday, both divisions scoring a win. Division 2 won comfortably and Division 3 defeated Eaglehawk by one shot.
Results were as follows: Division 2 Castlemaine 71 defeated Bendigo 40. Scores were Steve McCoombe 26/14, Pam Hunter 17/17, Tricia O’Shea 28/9.
Division 3 Castlemaine 63 defeated Eaglehawk 62. Bruce Miller 25/16, Mal Stevens 18/29, Kathy Parsons 20/17.Pennant teams
