NARRE WARREN BOWLS
Things are looking good at Narre Warren Bowls Club with all Saturday sides positioned within the top four in their respective divisions.
This is a great situation given the record number of teams entered and the large number of “rookie” bowlers who are playing their first season of competitive bowls.
Tuesday teams are also generally performing well with three of the five sides also sitting in the top-four going into the Christmas break.
This Saturday 17 December is the last weekend match for the year with the competition resuming again in mid-January.
Narre Warren Bowls Club will be hosting the semi-finals and finals of the Sandbelt Region ‘Fours’ Championships this Sunday 18 December from 10am.
A BBQ will be available for players and spectators who are welcome to come along and see some top-quality bowling under the Panther Dome on Magid Drive.
A very merry Christmas to all our bowlers and their families from the President and Board of Management of Narre Warren Bowls Club.
Special thanks also to the Star News Group for supporting our club and lawn bowls generally by publishing results each week.
