LAST Saturday saw the completion of round six of the XXXX Winter Bowls competition, which will now recess until Saturday, 9 August.

Myrtleford hosted Yackandandah and the greens drew plenty of praise from both the visitors and local players in beautiful sunshine after a very chilly start to the day.

Yackandandah brought along 21 players which enabled seven rinks to be filled, and the comradery and enjoyment was evident by virtue of the laughter and smiles on the greens, as both the Dean green and Heberle green were put to good use.

While winning was not the priority, the home team secured wins on five of the seven rinks and scoring 156 shots.

A pair of first-time skippers in Kylie Britt and Wayne Stephens enjoyed wins in their new roles.

Yackandandah are rebuilding and they continue to improve with every match, winning on two rinks and scoring 106 shots for the day.

Myrtleford’s hospitality continued after the games with a great afternoon tea and raffle prizes.

Unfortunately, no other scores were available at time of press.

After the break, further matches between Myrtleford, Bright, Chiltern and Yackandandah will continue from 9 August through until 13 September.
