Following on from another wet weekend, Tuesday also had plenty of rain, and this was too much for the Yarra Glen home green, with Side Two not getting a single bowl delivered.
Side One headed to Upwey-Tecoma, similarly not expecting to get a game in.
Upwey Tecoma has two greens, one flooded, and the other with patches of water, but draining very quickly.
After a delayed start, the game got underway under some light showers, bit then cleared and a full game was able to be completed.
However two rink wins was not enough to get the game points and we went down 54-65 (4 points).
P. Leonard 22/17; A. James 21/18; C. Boland 11/30.
On Saturday, a triple header beckoned for the club, with all three teams playing Mitcham, Sides One and Two playing away, and Side Three at home.
Side One scheduled a twighlight fixture, enabling a good sized crowd to watch on after the regular 1pm games had finished.
After Yarra Glen won a thrilling last bowl win in last seasons finals, it was expected to be another close encounter.
Three of the rinks remained very close, but with one rink well down, Mitcham came away with a solid win 64-84 (3 points).
Beau Simmons 16/19; G. Senior 18/14; Ben Simmons 11/32; M. Gardner 19/19.
Side Two had mixed results across the rinks, and despite some solid comeback efforts, only managed one rink win to go down 66-83 (2 points).
R. Thurkle 14/30; S. Smith 17/20; B. Grund 13/18; A. Thurkle 22/15.
The shining light for Yarra Glen was Side Three, who came away with a big winning result at home with three rinks up 102-52 (16 points). M. Ramage 21/11; P. Ramage 35/10; L. Baker 32/10; D. McMenaman 14/21.
