Pennants

Pennant Bowls Competition

At the beginning of the season, around September, teams are entered in the MBA Pennant competition on Saturdays (open gender), Wednesdays (men’s team) and Thursdays (women’s team). Currently, we have four teams entered on Saturdays, two on Wednesdays and one on Thursdays.

 

From mid-September, skills training/coaching sessions are held on Tuesdays and Fridays from 4pm-7pm with our Club Coach, Jayden Zellar.

 

The greens are available six days a week for members to practice with access to mats and jacks via the coded rear door of the clubrooms. Please note that all greens are closed on Mondays for general maintenance.

 

Pennant games are played on a home and away basis. Games are 21 ends played in teams of four on Saturday (open gender), commencing at 1pm. Wednesday’s (men only) play consists of a variety of formats – pairs, triples and fours with games commencing at 12.15pm. The games on each day usually finish around 4:30pm-5pm. On Thursdays (women only), games commence at 9:45am and finish around 1:30pm and are followed by BYO lunch.

 

For away games, players can arrange to meet at our club and travel together to the game to minimise possible car parking difficulties.

 

Home games on Saturdays and Wednesdays cost $5.00 per person per game, which pays for sandwiches provided during the afternoon break for your opponent and yourself.

 

Pennant players who are not available to play on a particular day are required to advise this on the sheet located outside the Selectors Office. If this is not done, a player is assumed to be available for selection.
