The 2024/2025 Gippsland Bowls Region pennant season will commence on Saturday, with the Orbost Bowls Club all set to go after finalising its preparation with a practice match last weekend against Bruthen.
Division one will commence its campaign with an away fixture against Stratford on Saturday, the Green Machine hoping to go at least one better than their sixth-placed finish last season.
Mid week pennant will commence on Tuesday with Orbost hosting Paynesville in their division two clash.
The match will commence at 10am, with spectators welcome to come along and enjoy the action.
ORBOST/BRUTHEN PENNANT
PRACTICE MATCH
Last Saturday’s weather was perfect, allowing a pennant practice match between Orbost and Bruthen at the Orbost Bowling Club.
With a good turnout of players from both clubs, the game started just after 10am and finished around 1.30pm at the completion of the 21 ends, with Orbost being the overall winner.
The day was rounded off with a barbecue lunch for all the players, which was enjoyed by participants.
The Orbost members were grateful for the efforts of Bruthen members for travelling to Orbost for the match and are hopeful a similar practice match can be held in future years.
