AFTER winning a premiership last year, Serpentine bowls club will step up to play its first match in division two of the Bendigo weekend pennant competition on Saturday.
Serp will debut four new players when it faces Eaglehawk.
Father and son combination Adam and Lachie James, Piper Long and Murray Matthews will all play their first pennant matches.
“None of them have played comp,” club president Brian Gladman said.
“But they’ve come down for a roll and shaped up all right.”
He said while playing numbers were strong, inexperience would be a factor.
“We’re down in experience, but we have got by in the past, so I’m not overly concerned,” he said ahead of the opening match,
Gladman said the team would be missing two skippers from last year’s winning division three side.
Sadly, former club treasurer Alan Bish passed away in May, while Darren Anset decided to step away from pennant bowls.
Serpentine plays away at Eaglehawk before its first home clash against Bendigo East on November 2.
The club held a practice match last Saturday with leading division four club Calivil.
BRIDGEWATER
Midweek pennant started last Monday with the side going down to South Bendigo,
Barbara Catto`s rink narrowly going down by one shot 22-23.
The Goldfields competition side went down narrowly to Newstead White by only four shots in the end in a very even contest all day.
Ron Brown’s rink was Bridgewater’s best of the day winning 28 shots to 12 to secure the club’s first points in Goldfields pennant.
