Mid-week Pennant Report.

The A1s are yet to fire a shot due to having players away on State duty. Their first outing for the season, is this coming Thursday, October the 24th, against Kiewa, at Kiewa Good luck to all A1 players.

Also battling hard for the Golf Club all game, were Bill Jenkins (L), Vicki Withers (2), Ian Keat (3), and Neil Loveridge (S) who lost narrowly 24 shots to Club Mulwala 27 shots. The A2s next entertain Myrtleford at home. At this stage, they are 8th  place on the ladder, but there is a lot of pennant in front of them and plenty of matches to turn the ship around.

Weekend Pennant Report.

The A1s hosted Yarrawonga in what was a game that generated quite a bit of pre-game conjecture and interest considering the number of YMGCR alumni that are representing Yarrawonga this season. In a close fought game, befitting all the pre-game speculation, it was YMGCR who won the day; YMGCR 78 shots and 14 points to Yarrawonga 75 shots and 4 points. Winning well for YMGCR were the rink of Laureen Smith (L), Colin Withers (2), Rob Hummel (3), and Ray Irvine (S), who bested their opponents 29 shots to 17 shots. Also winning with a leg in the air were Ian Febey (L), Ray Brown (2), Michael Vaughan (3), and Gary Presnell (S), who won 25 shots to Yarrawonga 11 shots. YMGCR are now in 6th spot on the ladder and next week travel to Myrtleford, for what, in recent years has been a tough essay.

The A2s undertook the long drive to Swanpool and were made short work of by the home side; Swanpool 96 shots and 16 points to YMGCR 56 shots and 2 points. Securing the valuable 2 points for YMGCR were the rink of Les Wilson (L), Kerry Kinnane (2), Vic Brincat (3), and Neil Loveridge (S), who beat their opposition 21 shots to 20 shots. On the positive side of the ledger, the A2s are in 4th spot on the ladder and next week travel to Benalla.

The A5s blazed a new trail when they travelled to Commercial Club for the first time. However, the hosts were in no mood to extend the welcome mat and won well, 79 shots and 14 points to YMGCR 49 shots and 0 points. Keeping their opponents on their toes all afternoon, were the rink of Doug McTier (L), Gavin Borwick (2), Neville Coleman (3), and Ross Lloyd (S), who went down by the barest of margins 18 shots to Commercial Club 19 shots. YMGCR are in 6th place on the ladder and next week entertain Dederang at home. Until next week, good bowling.
