IN cold, windy conditions at Violet Town last Saturday, Yea Bowls Club finally came out convincing winners 92 shots to 67. Brett Reece, with Darren Sherman, Maree Brennan and Viv Cavanagh, came out in front for a 19 shot to 14 win, in a keenly contested game. On the second rink Terry McInnes, Wayne Tanner, Doug Shirrefs and Chris Day (playing his first game of pennant) had a great game. After being down during the game, Terry’s team stuck to the task, and finally came out winners, 20 shots to 17. Terry Muller, Rob and Maureen Marks and Kym Cooper, on rink three, were on top early, but then Violet Town took the lead. Terry’s team stuck to their guns to finally draw the game on 19 all. Rink Four with Maurie Finn, Angela Finn, Barb Tanner and Mick Barrott, went into the lunch break with scores level; but they took control after lunch, and dominated the second half to win 34 shots to 17. The highlight was the very consistent bowling of Barb Tanner, playing her first pennant game with a bowling arm. This Saturday Yea will play at home to a higher ranked team in Merrigum.
