Burras valiant in defeat

By Garry Lewis

 Warburton 1 travelled all the way to Mentone to play their number one side.

On a wide, tricky rink the Burras tried valiantly to keep with them before going down, 61 to 87.

Rink scores were as follows: P. Caneva 13/20; S. Lord 11/26; S. Lee-Tet 15/23 and A. Donohue 22/18.

Warburton 1 will play Burden Park 1 back at home this week.

Warburton 2 played Croydon 3 at home.

The gusty wind troubled both teams.

The Burras were behind at the break before coming back strongly towards the end of the second half to record their first victory this season, 84 to 74.

Rink scores were B. Hall 23/20; M. Cima 21/17; D. McConachy 21/15 and C. Gell 19/22.

It was great to see new and beginning players experience their first victory in the Burras colours.

The side will play against Eastwood Golf 1 away this week.

New and beginning players are still encouraged to join the small, friendly club.

Coaching is available from qualified coaches.
