Narre Warren Bowls Club has had a very busy off-season, and once again became the choice for several new players across all divisions.
After strong training sessions and some very good results in the pre-season, we were all looking forward to the start of the new Pennant Season.
Narre Warren started its first ever season in Division 1 with a Friday night home game against local rivals Cranbourne Bowls Club under the Panther Dome.
Narre Warren had five players playing their first game for the club.
There was a very good crowd in attendance to watch what was a very close game.
There were less than 10 shots in it all night, with Cranbourne edging away at the end to win by 12 shots.
Saturday saw three more sides at home and another three players making their Narre Warren debut.
Narre Warren won two close games and lost the third game.
Away from home, Narre Warren had two more players playing their first game for the club.
Narre Warren was very strong, winning both games against Pakenham Bowls Club and Mulgrave Country Club.
