It was a disappointing start to the Gippsland Bowls Region Superleague season for the Orbost Bowls Club, making the long trek to Stratford and going down 73-56.
All three rinks were competitive, but the result for the Green Machine was the halving of one rink by Geoff Lynn, Maurice Frank, Ron Hatcher and Geoff Robinson, after a 21 apiece tie.
It was no fairytale debut for prized recruit, Bradley Lancaster, going down 26-18.
This week will see a home game played against reigning premier, Bairnsdale, which should be a hard-fought match.
