It was a great effort last Sunday for West Dubbo Bowls, with all four sides winning their Pennants games.
Most notable result came from the Grade Two side, who stormed home late to secure victory and qualify for the State Finals in August. Their next stop is Gilgandra, at home, where a win will progress them to the Midwest Play-Offs.
The Grade Six side produced a dominant performance, defeating the Dubbo City Rhinos by 40 shots. “Uncle Fesita” led the charge, with a huge 32–7 rink win. The team now focuses on the big clash with Mudgee next week, where another win will secure a finals place.
The “Magnificent Sevens” also made it two wins in a row on the day; a tough victory over the Macquarie Rats, with a stand-out performance from Col Teale’s rink recording an impressive 18-shot win.
In other news, the Club Triples Championship first round is on Saturday, March 21. The women play in the morning and the men in the afternoon.
