Jean got in touch with Wunghnu Club via Messenger and found out they have social bowls on Sunday at 3pm. We stopped in at Strathmerton beforehand for happy hour then turned up for a game.
There were some guys rolling up when we arrived. They said there'd be more people here soon. They told us the club has about 35 members - that's 10% of the town's population!
The clubhouse is tiny.
They are the Magpies.
The club's decked out in Collingwood colours but they went to great pains to tell us they aren't Collingwood supporters.
There are two very nice grass greens.
Ours was the right hand green.
It's the Peter Graham Green.
The club logo helps visitors to pronounce the town's name.
There's a nice dedication.
We played with Boots and Ian (Hendo) who is the brother of Ross, the President of Numurkah where we'll play tomorrow. Hendo went to school with some of Mal's cousins in Invergordon - the Pools.
We played ok. Got a few shots.
Then Jean was killing it.
Last end they had two shots. With her last bowl Jean played weight backhand on the wide side. She took out shot bowl for two.
We called it a draw and sat down outside for a drink.
