Barooga Sporties - a friendly game

We drove around to a few clubs in NSW and Vic on Monday and managed to get our names down for Friday arvo at Barooga - just on the NSW side of the Murray river - for a game.

At the desk we met Ray and Archie. Ray won at Berrigan yesterday. We met Ray on Monday when we came to put our names down

Mal sat and chatted with Geoffrey who was a barrel of laughs. Everyone came up and introduced themselves. They were so friendly and talkative.

The clubhouse is cute.

There are two synthetic greens.

Jean's favourite carpet type.

We played on the front green. It's the newer one. The other green will be replaced in two weeks.

It's the Keith Mellier Green.

It's three-bowl pairs. Jean played with Pete who Mal played against at Berrigan yesterday.

Against skip Brad and Maree.

Mal played skip for Jenny

Against Heather and Ruth.

First end Jean has the grass right but it was quicker than she thought.

She got it second end.

As did Mal.

Pete and Jean won 11 to 4. Mal lost 4 to 16 so we didn't get to play each other. Second game Pete and Jean played Mal's opponents Heather and Ruth. Mal played against Peter and Bruce.

Jean bowled well in the second game. They won 15 to 7 to make it +15. Mal won 7 to 12 but didn't call Jean over to take any photos of his good bowls. He reckons he didn't do any but he must have!

The guys made presentations.

Jean and Pete got runners up. $15. Pipped by one shot.

They didn't have club badges but Soups gave us badges for Werribee.

Barooga - one of the friendliest clubs we've visited!
