Last week was truly a week to remember with the soaking rains that didn’t let up and the severe flooding that occurred around not only Healesville but the whole of the Eastern ranges.
Healesville Bowls Club had to cancel the first week of the Corporate Bowls and also the first week of bare foot bowls (which bare feet may have been appropriate due to the water) but the diehard pennant bowlers found a way and got their games completed over the weekend.
Tuesday Bowls
Healesville1 played Mooroolbark1 at home and had a loss going down 34 – 68
Steve Graham, Rob Ayres, Hilda Gurney, Karl Tok 7 – 28
John Clark, Effie Laban, Barry Parker, Gerda Otto 15 – 22
Colin Lowe, Bob Brown, Rob Turville, Steve Bulled 12 – 18

Healesville 2 play Bayswater2at home next week (weather permitting) which should be a really close game.
Saturday Bowls
Due to the continuous heavy rain and the flooding that occurred in and around the Healesville Bowling Club, we expected to have a wash out, but thanks to Bayswater they allowed us to move our game from home to Bayswater which we were very appreciative of.
Team1played Bayswater at Bayswater and despite the weather it was a close game with only 6 shots in it at the tea break but Bayswater came out too strong in the second half winning 62 – 85.

Adrian Beales, Mark Hoffman, Bob Brown, James Beales 16 – 21
