Over the weekend we had our first double header round, while it was not received well across Melbourne Metro Pennant, it was a good opportunity to do something different. What we get in return is the Australia Day Long weekend off from Bowls. That is something we can all look forward to.

Sunday Pennant Round 10 Results
There has been much commentary on the double header round, all clubs would have found that people were not available, we had plenty of time to prepare. Given that we had to play this so we could have the Australia Day long weekend off, it is a fair compromise.
