CRANBOURNE BOWLS
Cranbourne 1 was the only team from the club to play Saturday Pennant bowls when it travelled to Berwick to take on the local rivals under their roof.
In a fluctuating game throughout the day, Cranbourne players did the club proud when in two rinks they came back from being ‘five-plus’ down…with one getting a very good draw and another getting up by 13.
Playing away on your opponent’s home ground is always a disadvantage to the away team, but Cranbourne’s 16 players fought on to win two rinks, lose one and draw one, to take the overall win.
Best rink was Skipped by Lyn Quigg, Brian Gay, Peter Elgar and Garry Hunt (28 – 13) with close behind the team of Shane Jankins, Gavin Wright, Steve Bentley and Gwen Scott (28-18).
Cranbourne 1 (93) defeated Berwick 1 (87). + 6 shots and 15 points.
Cranbourne 2, 3, 4 and 5 all had wash outs on the weekend and shared the available points with their opponents.
Midweek Pennant – Tuesday 28 November
It was a difficult day for Cranbourne Bowling Club with two Divisions winning and two losing.
Cranbourne 1 Div 2 Sect 8 travelled down the road to take on Edithvale 1.
Winning only one rink and losing two, the strength of Edithvale was too much in the end winning the game and overall score comfortably.
Best rink of the day was Chris Hunt, Steve Hickson, Bill Sherriff and Chris Stevenson (19-12).
Cranbourne 1 (48) was defeated by Edithvale 1 (64). – 16 shots and 2 points
Cranbourne 2 and 3, both playing at home on the back grass green, took on Keysborough 3 and Narre Warren 3 respectively.
Cranbourne 2 won the day overall by winning two rinks and losing one.
Best rink of the day was John Kent, Rob Scott, Kath Dudink and Brian Turton who won by 14 shots (26-12).
Cranbourne 2 (64) defeated Keysborough 3 (48). + 16 shots and 14 points.
Cranbourne 3 took on Narre Warren 3 and this was probably the closest game of the day.
Winning two rinks to one, Narre Warren 3 took the chocolates in the end.
Best rink of the day was Dermot McConville, Rob Sorensen, Monica Peers and Jeanne Tomlin winning 18-17.
Cranbourne 3 (50) was defeated by Narre Warren 3 (60). – 10 shots and 2 points.
Cranbourne 4 was originally given a Bye, but Churchill Waverley Golf 3 recently took over the vacant spot.
In its wisdom, Bowls Victoria has awarded a ‘Forfeit Win’ to Churchill Waverley Golf.
