Metro Pennant Round 8 has come and gone, it was a hard day at the office for club.
2nd Division
Our top side hosted MCC, coming off two good wins, things were looking up and the team looked to continue the consistent form it was starting to show. However the team was consistent though the day, but just could not get over the line.

J. Greenshields 12-20, N. Waite 18-19, M. Diorietes 18-21, D. Mitchell 15-20.

4th Division
Our 2nd side is looking hard for a win after starting the season well, they need some consistency in the game to get a good result on the board. That consistency was coming out on Saturday with one rink up a draw, and two rinks down by less than 10 on a low scoring game. Over all it was close all day the team falling just short.

6-a-Side
Our two six aside teams have a number of new bowlers bowling with some experienced bowlers, while the results don’t show wins we are seeing the improvements in our new bowlers. The mentoring they get now with the experience in the older players on this team will help them develop in to great bowlers down the line.
