1 min read

BOORT Indoor Bias Bowls Club held their 11th annual tournament on Sunday.
Twenty teams of 4fourplayers each competing. Teams visited Boort from Warrnambool, Wedderburn, Charlton, Coomealla, Golden Square, Rochester, Echuca, Minyip, Stawell, Bendigo and Benalla. 
Each team played four matches of 10 ends over the day. 
Loddon Shire’s Boort Ward councilor David Weaver spoke at the beginning of the day, welcoming all to Boort.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Boort Indoor Bias Bowls Club and to acknowledge that, Nola Stringer rolled the first jack down the mat, followed by Elma Gierisch who has played for 38 years, bowled the first bowl to start the day.
The day was held in the school stadium this year and this enabled teams to be able to play four matches each, in a single fill.
The three winning teams were all from Warrnambool. 
Temporary kitchen facilities were set up in the foyer. 
Organiser Ian Potter said people volunteers handled the new location well and served a great meal to all players and helpers. 
“Well done for the effort required to do this. Players all said that they enjoyed the day, despite the cold weather and expressed a desire to come again, especially for the food,” Potter said.
