Women’s social day was again played last Monday with 18 attending when they played triples.

On Saturday, 44 bowlers travelled to Corowa for a club practice match.
Played in ideal conditions on very well-prepared greens and against a very hospitable club.
Barooga was the ultimate winner of the shield for another year.
Next year it will be our turn to host and let’s hope we can again muster a strong field and a lovely lunch for our guests.
On September 19, we have our mid-week teams going to Yarrawonga to play a practice match and on Saturday, we have our pennant teams travelling to East Shepparton for a game.
We have been asked to be in Shepparton on Saturday around 12.15pm for light snacks with a game to start at 1pm, followed by a barbecue.
We ask all bowlers to be at the club here in Barooga around 11am for an 11.15am departure.
