NARRE WARREN BOWLS
The Division 1 side from Narre Warren Bowls Club (NWBC) made it two in a row on Saturday and now climb to fifth on the ladder after another strong showing – this time away against Keysborough.
In very trying conditions, and with a few players recovering from a bout of Covid, it was great to see the rinks fight to the end and support each other and get the overall win.
The highlight was a very strong 34-8 win by the rink of Craig Moore, Eric Sydenham, Zak Storm and Steven Ellard.
The second team bounced back with a close eight-shot win over local rivals Berwick Bowls Club. After being behind most of the day NWBC fought hard and got over the top of Berwick in the last couple of ends to secure a very good win.
The second team now climbs into the top four with this win, with the best rink being Judith Naughton, Percy Herath, Jim Kempf and Keith Fox who completed a 27 to 19 victory.
The third team had some travel to do this week and played away at Armadale, and playing on a new green that was slow to begin with was challenging.
The players played well and came away with a convincing 88-66 overall win.
This places the side in third place.
Best rink was Keith Emms, Greg Davies, Lindsay Gibson and Bryan Biasci who won 27-8.
Narre Warren’s fourth side travelled to second place Cardinia Waters and went down 65-86 but stay in fifth position on the ladder.
This game had two new players to the club playing their first game for NWBC and we look forward to seeing the progress through the ranks.
Welcome Gwen and Robert Scott.
Best rink: Gwen Scott; Robert Scott; Brian Exton and Ralph Devonshire 19 to 18.
Narre 5, playing in Division 5, took on Monbulk 2 at home and after some very good bowls went down 67-75 overall.
With Narre sitting in fifth and Monbulk sixth this was always going to be a very close game.
Gillian Wright played her first game for the season and was a part of the best rink for the day.
Best rink: Gillian Wright; Reg Young; Nola Burdett and Peter Wilson 24 to 16.
Narre 6 got to travel to Boronia for a game played in the right spirit and prevailed 86-71 overall.
This win lifted the team to fourth on the ladder.
Best rink: Darren Moore; Bill Sheehan; Glenn McCauley and Peter Anderton 28 to 16.
