LODDON bowlers have completed practice matches and early tournaments in their preparation for the start of the 2025-2026 pennant season.
Bendigo Campaspe Goldfields Bowls Region’s starts on Saturday with both of Inglewood’s weekend pennant teams playing at home.
Division 1 will meet North Bendigo while Division 5 is playing Kangaroo Flat.
Midweek Pennant starts on Monday with Inglewood’s Division 1 side hosting Eaglehawk and newly promoted team, now in Division 4, playing at Dingee.
The club has had a sensational build up to the season with much work done in the clubhouse and
with the kitchen nearly completed with thanks to a grant from the Inglewood and District Community Enterprise.
Late last month, Inglewood  hosted Wedderburn in the third Annual practice/social/grudge match with Wedderburn being successful and taking home the much sort after secondhand trophy.  Last Thursday,  an evening Practise Match was held against Marong with some members from Serpentine participating. 
The weather turned a bit cold but a great time was had by all.
The ladies held a successful tournament last Friday with 16 teams entered and participants coming from Pyramid Hill, Calivil, Boort, Maryborough, Castlemaine and many other Bendigo area clubs.  
Two teams from Kangaroo Flat had a great day by cleaning up with the winners and runners-up trophies
And on Sunday Inglewood played a practice match against Dunolly. 
These matches against Dunolly had been a fixture many years ago and it was great to rekindle that again as they are a very good club doing well.
