Harcourt Bowling Club held a successful annual Ladies’ Triples Tournament last Wednesday November 16 with teams from Castlemaine (2), White Hills, Eaglehawk, Kyneton, Golden Square, Campbells Creek, South Bendigo and Inglewood attending.
In perfect bowling weather the afternoon commenced with Ditch to Ditch which was won by Kaye Tranter Eaglehawk (Lead); Jenni Holborn Golden Square (Second), Maureen Harris Castlemaine (Skip).
The winners were presented with a beautiful potted Kangaroo Paw plant.
Bowlers then played three games of eight ends before returning to the clubhouse for the usual sumptuous afternoon tea.
Di Selwood from Property Plus, our generous sponsor of the day over several years, attended to present the prizes. Winners were: Third place Harcourt 1 combination team of Wendy Kays (Gisborne), Libby Harris, Kaye Grant; Runners-up Inglewood team of Merilyn Chamberlain, Bev Taige, Chris McEwan and overall Winners of the day Golden Square Team of Lorraine Clarkson, Sue Flint, Jenni Holborn.
Pennant
No results to report this week as there was no pennant played last Saturday and Monday because of the State Championships.
In Weekend Pennant Round 5 tomorrow Division 2 will host Eaglehawk and a win would be handy to progress from 6th ladder position;
Division 6 will travel to Kangaroo Flat and a win there should keep them in top spot; Division 7 will travel to South Bendigo and in this higher Division will need a good win to get off the bottom rung.
In Midweek Pennant Round 7 on Monday Division 2 will host Heathcote and Division 4 will host South Bendigo. Both divisions are
holding their own so far for the first season in higher grades with Division 2 in 4th position and Division 4 in 6th place.
Sponsors’ Challenge
Last Tuesday evening round one of the annual Sponsors’ Challenge was to be conducted with teams competing for a mention on the coveted Chappy’s Shield. Unfortunately, due to the weather the evening had to be postponed. The future date has yet to be determined.
