Midweek pennant begins for bowlers
FOR the first time in three years, Camperdown Bowling Club has entered the mid-week pennant competition.
The teams headed to Colac City Bowling Club last Tuesday and came home with three wins.
Vicki Brebner, Barry Atchison, K. Henderson and Stan Adeney all had a very good win, scoring on 15 ends to take the win 34-9.
Maria Van Someren, Henry Henderson, Graham Chamberlain and D. Watts also had a great win, 24-10.
And the third rink of Ron Simcox, Brad Wilson, P. Atchison and Ray Bourke found themselves behind 2-13 by the seventh but never gave up and won 26-18.
This was a great start to the season – next week will see them play home town neighbours, Camperdown Golf, at home.
Many thanks to the shire for the grant which contributed to a new carpet green – it looks impressive and is proving quick.
Division one will play last year’s premiers Winchelsea.
With the departure of one of the team’s skippers Darren Coverdale has stepped up.
Barry Atchison, Harry and Maria Van Someren will join Darren on the rink.
Team two will be Ron Cameron, Fred Salmon, Brad Wilson and Kelvin Rundle.
Team three will be Matt Brewer, Lenny Searle, Henry Henderson and Ray Bourke.
Team four will comprise Luke Wright, Darren Page, Vicki Brebner and Lud Gungl.

Camperdown division five was to play Camperdown Golf, but they are unable to fill a side.
