We'd visited most of the clubs within the city limits today to find out about social bowls. We put our names down at a couple. The only one we missed was Ballarat Bowling club, so we decided to roll up there.
We decided to wait until after four to rollup at Ballarat because it's Pennants this arvo.
The Ones were playing against Webbcona. When we got there it was Webbcona 73 to Ballarat 72 with one end to play on two rinks. On the closest rink the lead changed six times. When the last two skips bowled Webbcona needed three to win they got it. Very exciting.
The club has two greens - one grass and a Synthetic with great signage.
Afterwards Mal and Jean rolled up. It was pretty relaxed. Neither of us got shitty (which is unusual). Mal worked out the line and the weight.
Jean bowled ok (that's why she was in a good mood) but Mal was too good. Played to 15. Final score was 17 to five.
We had some chats with (and a bit of heckling from) a couple of Ballarat players.
Ballarat - bad luck on the loss but thanks for the thrills!
