Castlemaine bowlers are looking forward to resuming pennant after the Christmas break this Saturday January 14 and Midweek on Monday January 16.
During the break Castlemaine has crowned two new Club Champions, Greg Brain and Tricia O’Shea.
finalists Greg Brain and Bernie McConnell had a great game. Bernie took the lead early on and Greg gradually closed the gap and continued on to be the Champion. Congratulations to you both it was a good exhibition of bowling certainly enjoyed by all the spectators.
Tricia O’Shea and Pam Hunter were the finalists for the Ladies Championship played last Friday January 6, once again it was a very good game with Pam and Tricia even for the first half. Tricia eventually came away with the win in the second half with very accurate bowling. A worthy winner of the Ladies Championship.
Both Championships were well supported by club members who all enjoyed watching good bowls. The ladies supplied a lovely lunch after their game where Tricia was presented with the Ruby Wallish Brooch and both ladies with a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Greg and Tricia will now both represent Castlemaine Bowling Club in the Champion of Champions on Sunday January 29 (Venue to be decided).
