NARRE WARREN BOWLS
Narre Warren Bowls Club has finished off 2022 in fine style with five of six victorious in pennant competition.
The only loss was by the club’s Division 2 side which still remains in fourth place on the ladder.
All Saturday teams continue to perform well with all sitting in the top four on the ladder as we approach the last five rounds of the home-and-away season.
Something interesting happened this week for the second time this season.
Eric Sydenham and his grandson Mitchell McCauley – aged 14 and playing his first year of bowls – both played in rinks which were the best rink in their division.
Earlier in the year, in only his second game, Mitch played in a rink which won 35 to 14, while on the same day proud grandfather Eric played in a rink which won 35 to 8!
On Sunday Narre Warren Bowls Club hosted the finals of the Sandbelt Region 4’s for women and men, as well as the final of the over 60’s Women’s pairs.
This was a great display of quality bowls and a team from Narre Warren won through to the final of the Men’s 4’s.
In an enthralling game, the winner was decided after the last bowl of the last end came to rest.
A short trail of the jack resulted in a composite side defeating the Narre Warren team by 14 shots to 9.
The Narre Warren team of Scott Butterworth, Peter Butterworth, Cam Lee and Zak Storm were
runners up and were unlucky in the end not to win the title.
