We had a day off today. We decided to go to City of Geelong Bowls Club to watch the Premier League.
When we were at Bareena on Wednesday we met Laurie, Mick and Wayne.
(Wayne, Mick and Laurie)
A couple of them play in Premier League and Jean asked Wayne to explain it to her. It seems Premier League is a competition that sits above Pennants division one. It's the best of the best. We think there are ten clubs in it.
Bareena played City of Geelong. Jean read some of the history of City club. There was a club Geelong West which folded after 100 odd years. The then amalgamated with Drumcondra BC to form City of Geelong with a brand new facility.
Bareena had two woman who played lead and second. City had three who played lead, second and one skipped. They also had a junior who played second. When we arrived they were on the third end and Bareena was up and stayed that way.
Bareena thirds played really well. They got their teams out of trouble many times.
The skips did well also. They got lots of cheers and high-fives. The tactics were also very good. You could see them thinking about where the kitty would go if driven and covering it.
Bareena was ahead by six or seven shots until about the 60th end when city caught up. The City junior Harry was a bit of a star. He put his blue-orange bowls on the kitty frequently.
It was so exciting! One shot in it to the very end and a couple of dead ends to boot. Last three ends it was 49 all. It came down to one rink - rink two - with two ends to go.
Bareena needed four to draw. Skip Ryan Moved the kitty to score four and even it up.
Last end there was doubt about who had shot. City skip declared and the umpire measured. City won. It was so much fun to watch.
Hey Bareena - thanks for the entertainment.
