NARRE WARREN BOWLS
The Christmas/New Year break has been a nice refresher for the Narre Warren Bowls Club who returned to action with some hard-earned wins on the weekend.
The top side travelled to Pakenham on Friday night and once again they fought hard but got overrun by a very experienced side and went down 74-89.
Notable points from the game was welcoming back Peter Butterworth for his first game for the season and Dean George playing his first game in the top side after only taking the game up 18 months ago.
Narre Warren won two rinks, with best rink for the day being Craig Moore; Dean George; Chris Johnson and Steve Ellard with +5.
The second side played host to top-of-the-table Edithvale knowing they needed to play well and be competitive all day.
NWBC played a great game and had a very good victory, winning two rinks and winning overall 79-64.
Best rink for the day was Gwen Scott; Teresa Epshtein; Jim Kempf and Keith Fox with a dominant +15.
The third team travelled to Mulgrave CC knowing a win would put some daylight between them and cement NWBC into the top four with four weeks to go in the season.
NWBC played a very good game on a very windy day and won three out of four rinks and taking 16 points winning 85-66.
Best rink for the day was Peter Groom; Gary Farrington; Allen Fary and Norm Hosmer with +11.
