Rain washes away Saturday Pennant
AS heat wave breaking storms swept across the region on Saturday, the weather event played havoc with the Ballarat District Bowls Division’s Saturday Pennant.
In the Premier division BMS had a good win against Central Wendouree, 81-57, however the points do not count as all other matches were abandoned.
There was little play in Division 1, with all matches were abandoned other than City Oval v Waubra which was cancelled as City Oval closed their greens prior to 10.30am.
Division 2 was also a write off, with all match ups abandoned barring City Oval v Daylesford which was cancelled.
There was a bit of play in Division 3. Smeaton snuck home by two shots over Sebastopol, 91-89. Learmonth defeated Midlands, 109-78. Yet all points are shared as majority of games were abandoned.
Things actually counted in Division 4 despite the cancellation of City Oval v Daylesford and the abandonment of Webbcona against Buninyong. All other matches were comfortable wins. BMS defeated Central Wendouree, 101-74. Sebastopol had a win against Mount Xavier, 117-60 and Victoria were too strong for Avenue, 133-57.
In Division 5 Ballarat East gave a walkover to Sebastopol. All other games saw no action and therefore points are shared.
Again, all points shared in Division 6 with three matches abandoned. Where bowlers did hit the greens Clunes proved too strong for Ballarat North, 130-65 and BMS won comfortably against Sebastopol, 101-66.
Division 7 saw Victoria with the Bye. BMS had a good win defeating Buninyong, 101-81. All other matches were abandoned.
There was no play in Division 8 as Daylesford had the Bye and all other matches were abandoned.
