Southern hospitality for Pennants at Murchison

We drove over to Murchison on our way back to Shepparton from Rushworth on Saturday. They were playing Pennants against John and David from Merrigum who we met yesterday.

The entry way had bowls on the gate and as a garden border.

It's a tiny little clubhouse.

There are two grass greens. They played Division Five Pennants on the Northern Green.

We rolled up on the other green.

It's the Southern Green.

They had interesting contraptions to step on and off the green.

Everyone sat in the outdoor under cover seating area to watch the game.

We asked President Bruce if we could roll up on the Southern Green.

(Mal and Bruce)

Our rollup was good. The green was a little quick with a wide and a narrow sides. Again Mal was all over it. He even had a Resting Toucher.

Jean went better going back to the clubhouse. Jean had three then Mal drove and sent the kitty up into the air and the bowls out. The kitty came down in the same spot. The scores ended up even.

The Pennant players had a break for smoko at 3pm. Jean expressed surprise at a break during Pennants. John replied "We're good unionists here. We have to have a break!" Murchison put on quite a spread.

They invited us to join in. We sat and had a great chat with Bruce about our trip. After reciprocal thanks and announcements Bruce introduced us to all the players and John called out to tell everyone that Mal will be at the Over 60's at Merrigum on Wednesday.

Murchison - a great chat over smoko!
