INGLEWOOD’S Division 5 outfit has lowered its colours to top side Strathfieldsaye in Bendigo bowls.
But with a win and a loss from the first two games is a good start to the season and it is encouraging to see so many of this team turning up to practise and doing the drills set out.
The best rink on the day was the team of Ian Bradley (skip), Patsy Lyndon, sub Kath McNaught and Edna Patterson with a four-shot loss.
The Division 1 team is still to greet the judge, after two games, and have a tough game this week against Golden Square.
The game against White Hills on Saturday was close all day and the Woodies just fell away at the end.
Best result for the day came from the team of Craig Kelly (skip), Lindsay Kelly, David Whitehead and Simon Laird with a 16-all draw.
Thanks to all the women who supplied food on Saturday afternoon and then again for the after match function. The small band of women do a sensational job for the club.
In Monday pennant. Division 5 are continuing with their good form with another strong performance by beating South Bendigo 55 shots (14pts) to 23 shots (0pts).
The best rink on the day was the team of Joan Roberts, Patsy Lyndon, Daniel Garrett and Arthur Harrison (skip) with a 19 shot win.
Division 1 are still struggling to find form. They were out gunned last week with the final scores being Inglewood 52 shots (2pts) to Bendigo East 68 shots (14pts)
Best rink on the day was the team of Helen Leach, Rhonda Gallagher, Pat Schram and Geoff Wilson (skip) with an 11 shot win.
SERPENTINE
The Purple and Gold’s first home game for the season and a loss to Bendigo East.
Serpentine had an overall lead going into the break but whatever was in the tea did no good as the rinks then struggled in the second half of the day.
Dianne Walker’s four, featuring debutante Adam James, getting up 21 to 18 in a tight finish.
This week it’s off to Harcourt, where hopefully it will all be apples!
BRIDGEWATER
The mid-week team played at home last week and secured an eight-shot win over White Hills to back up the win from the previous week. All players did well on the day.
The Division 5 side played South Bendigo at home on a very quick green and windy conditions, which made it a some what difficult day, ended up going down by 20 shots overall.
The only winning rink was lead by Glenn Mangan and Craig Payne playing well at third. Curtis Mangan’s rink salvaged a draw after being 11 shots a drift at the break, with Lachlan Catto, Vern Wilson and Razor Broadbent contributing well to bridge the gap.
The Goldfields side travelled down the road to Dunolly to play on their greens for the first time, once again the Goldfields teams have welcomed the club, with their hospitality.
Best rink of the day was lead by Chris Brooshooft who managed a draw, and with more game time our new bowlers are starting to improve.
