Due to predicted temperatures of above 45 degrees on Tuesday, all Pennant matches across the state were cancelled which was a relieve to everyone.
Saturday’s First side played away at Mitcham, and we knew we were in for a tough match as Mitcham were sitting third on the ladder and they were keen to get back into the winners circle, after the bad loss they had to Yarra Glen the week before.
We were fourth on the ladder and with a win we would swap positions.
After the roll up we knew we were going to be struggling as the green’s anomalies were all over the place.
By the half time break we were 17 shots down, 26/43.
After the break Mitcham continued to win ends until the match was firmly in their hands winning by 38 shots, 55/93.
We need to regroup and get a win next week to have a chance of playing finals.
Bob Brown, Ian Milgate, Gary Broussard, Mick Featherstone -10/30.
Wally Mays, Chris Hawting, Steve Bulled, Robert Ayres – 11/24.
Colin Jarvis, Rob Broadhurst, Rita Featherstone, Mark Ward – 15/25.
Gerda Otto, Anne Knibbs, Robyn Turville, Adrian Beales – 19/14.
Saturday’s Second side played at home against Monbulk who are always good opposition, but we do seem to have the edge over them when we play at home.
All rinks started off well and by the half time break we were in front.
After the break Monbulk started to narrow the gap but Healesville weren’t going to let it slip away and held their lead to finally win by 10 shots, 62/52.
John Allen, Glenda Graham, Kenny Gallacher, Mark Cookney – 18/18.
Barry Parker, John McMillan, Judy Veermann, Mike Adams – 19/24.
Tino Macari, Judy Wallace, Sarah Gallacher, Bernard Godde – 25/10.
