PENNANT Season began for our Grade 4 sides on Tuesday 19th March. Our Grade 4 Yellow side travelled to Merewether for their first game. Interestingly, Merewether has not entered a side in Pennant for 13 years, so this is a historical year for them. Our teams won in both their games gaining the magical 5 points, a good start for their season. The Grade 4 Blues bowled at Nelson Bay on a very heavy green without success. This side is comprised of a number of new bowlers plus this is the first time 4 of the ladies have ever played Pennant. It was a different story for them on Thursday 21st March when we had a home game. The Blues had a win against Edgeworth giving them 4 points and placing them 3rd in their section. The Yellow side defeated Lowlands adding another 5 points to their tally putting them in a good position in their section, remembering it’s early days yet. On Thursday, it was great to have so many supporters cheering/encouraging our bowlers you all did a great job in spurring us to victory. Thanks, Sandra Leisemann for Umpiring. Everyone has commented on our wonderful new shirts, many thanks to our Major Sponsor Mick Rumble, Principal First National Real Estate Hawks Nest for our new shirts as well as your continuing sponsorship of our club. Our Grade 4 teams have a bye on Tuesday 26th and play at home on Thursday 28th. The Grade 2 Pennant side bowl their first game on the 2nd April at Soldiers Point.
