Pennants on at Eaglehawk

We forgot that Saturday is the first day of Pennants for the region. We turned up at Eaglehawk and watched the second half of the twos while we waited to roll up on the green.

Like always in Pennants there was some great bowls played. Some beautiful drives!

Eaglehawk was a good 20 shots up against Bendigo East.

The final score was Eaglehawk 83 to BEBC 72. East got a bowl on the last end to draw the rink for a rink win and a draw.

Eaglehawk has two grass and one synthetic green. We didn't want to play on the synthetic after Jean's shoe-melting episode at Kangaroo Flat- which is why we waited for Pennants to finish.

For our rollup, as usual Mal scored first with a three. Jean was convinced soon she'd nail the weight. Bowling towards the carpark she did, and Mal couldn't work it out.

The other way Jean had no idea and Mal nailed it. Weird!

At ten all we decided to play to 15. Mal did better but Jean snuck one in to be one up. It was enough for Mal. He pulled shots out of (well you know) to take the win. Jean was annoyed so didn't take note of the final score.

After our rollup we went inside and there were a few Pennant guys still there. We chatted with Con about Banjo Patterson (Mulga Bill from Eaglehawk), chooks and, of course, bowls.

Con said all their grades won today so they put free beer on.

Eaglehawk - a nice Pennant win.
