We went to Woodbury for a rollup. They had a catch up Pennant game going on when we turned up. Unusual for a Monday. It was mid-week Pennants.
The club has one green which is in pretty good nick.
Pennant games were Woodbury Twos against Marong and Sixes against Bendigo.
The twos only had two teams and for one, Woodbury only had three players.
The Marong Twos skip was a girl, Chavaughn Hayes. Her Dad is President at Marong and she's been bowling since she was nine. A girl skip is also unusual (in our experience, perhaps not in Victoria). She bowled very well.
Again good shots played. One Marong skip Stephen, did a drive to pick up two shots. His third tipped his hat and called him a superstar.
Marong Twos won. They had an advantage with two extra bowls.
After the game we chatted with Barry who organises social bowls. He said the club was bought by the racing club. Barry said to keep their pokie licence clubs must support local sport so Woodbury Bowls Club, which leases the green, is well looked after. They are getting a new clubhouse.
We had our rollup. Jean couldn't get the weight, so she didn't pay attention to the score. Mal won by lots.
Woodbury, thanks for the loan of Mat and Jacks!
