Win, loss and a forfeit victory for Healesville Bowls Club

By Ian Milgate

Team 1 for the Mid Week Pennant played at home against Montmorency, with a bowler from away side suffering a sudden illness on the green,resulting in the decision to forfeit the game giving Healesville 16 points. Later in the day we contacted Montmorency to see how the female bowler was and we were advised that she was recovering well.

Team 2 played away at Heatherdale on a grass green that was in excellent condition. 2 rinks had a tight match all day while Len Cosson’s rink played extremely well all day, giving Healesville an overall win 66 – 49.

Len Cossons, John Fitzpatrick, Glenda Graham, Karl Tok, 30-16, special mention to Karl for a great game.

Wally Mays, Ian Milgate, John Howard, Dan O’Donnell 17 – 18
