We have a little trouble finding a game on a Saturday because Pennants is on. We came to Strathmerton (Strathy) today to watch rather than roll up.
We arrived just after one. They started 1:30. We were lucky that today there are two divisions playing. Division Two Strathmerton plays Cobram (three teams) and Division Five plays Numurkah (two teams).
There are two good grass greens.
They played on the side green.
It's the Wayne McGregor Green.
It was pretty windy. The Aussie flags were full.
One of the Twos players (Matches) came and told us he'd heard about us on Facebook. He was very helpful. He told us about the comp and pointed out water the and toilets for us.
The conditions were tough. The wind was in their faces coming back to the clubhouse. A few short bowls there.
Greg from Cobram, who knows people from Jean's club Weston Creek, came to say gidday. We met him at Berrigan on Thursday.
His 11 year old son Luke is playing lead for him. The boy is a mad keen Parramatta supporter which pleased Mal no end.
It was cold in the wind and we weren't wearing sufficient clothing so we only made it half way. When we left Strathy was in front (both divisions). They'd led all game.
The boys told us to come back around 12:30 Sunday for drinks and a rollup. Matches came and watched us. He told us his rink lost by one but the other two won and they won overall. The fives drew.
Mal rolled first.
Then Jean.
