After our great win we moved onto the quarter finals in the Division and the Saturdays bowling was interrupted by the fierce hailstorm. After playing only 54 ends it was decided to continue on the Sunday morning at 9:00am.  This proved in hindsight the possible reason for our missing out on making the grand final. We started the day 14 shots up and finished the remaining 46 ends and finishing in front to take us into the semi final to be held in Heathmont that afternoon.

The greens we played on at Burwood were a testament to the great work that the greenkeepers provide to be able to play again on the Sunday morning after the amount of rain and hail that fell on the Saturday was truly amazing.

We started the semi final with out having any practice on the green other than the standard roll up and found the green to be much slower than what we had at Burwood. ½ time found us 2 shots down and in the back half - unfortunately some of the team who weren’t as young as our opponents started to tire.

We eventually lost out to the team from Pakenham.

However it was a great season and to make it this far is a credit to ALL members of the Auburn Bowls Club, because now we are a group of serious bowlers who are keen to take the “Club” onto higher achievements.

We look forward to the upcoming season in Division 3 and would welcome any bowlers interested in joining is on our journey.
