Tuesday’s Team 2 travelled to Bayswater on a very hot day, but unfortunately the game was a abandoned due to a severe thunderstorm that flooded the green and caused a washout. Let’s hope next week will be kinder to them.

Tuesday’s Team 1 played at home against Monbulk and had a good win beating Monbulk by 17 shots 64 – 47

Wally Mays, Robert Ayres, Effie Laban, Russell Smith 18 – 14

John Clark, Robyn Turville, Bob Brown, Karl Tok 25 – 14

Steve Graham, Steve Bulled, Hilda Gurney, Gerda Otto 21 – 19

Saturday’s Team 2 had a bye which was a nice relief on a day that was going to be 36 degrees. Currently they are on top of the ladder and the bye won’t make any difference to their position.

Saturday’s Team 1 played away at Monbulk and this game was a must win to stay above the bottom team and with only two games to go, it would be a welcome win, and we play Mooroolbark and Lilydale in the last two games who sit well above us on the ladder.

Unfortunately Monbulk were too strong and we went down by 43 shots 66 -109.
