Pennants Competitions
Saturday August saw the opening round of the Zone 5 single gender Pennants competitions for the 23/24 season.
Grade Two travelled to Austral with the following results
Alastair McGhee, Stephen Della, Dugald Braithwaite, Mick Spong 22 Vs Austral 14
Terry Butt, Gordon Lewis, Ash Lewis, Kev Stafford 9 Vs Austral 32
With one point on offer for each of the matches and three points for the overall count, this meant that Austral took 4 points for the day and Bowral 1. This was not quite the start to the competition that the team was looking for, but that one is now done so let’s look to the future and Penrith next week. Good bowling fellows!
Grade Four was at home to Austral with the following results
Arnold Lenczuk, Terry Norwood, Ian Crow, Tony Oakes 27 Vs Austral 21
Peter Cornwell, Scott Kennon, Dave Coltman, Steve Day 18 Vs Austral 18
These results gave the Bowral side 4.5 competitions points to 0.5 for Austral, a great start to the season. Hopefully this will continue at Bundanoon next Saturday. Go for it fellows!
