Wallan Bowls Club secured its sixth premiership in five years with an impressive win over Fitzroy Victoria in Saturday’s Northern Gateway Bowls Region division seven sectional grand final.
The win was just reward for the team, who for half the season either played short with one or two players missing, or had to rely on substitutes from other clubs to get a team on the field.
President Peter Glass said fortunately after the Christmas break, several players, earlier unavailable through illness or injury, returned to the playing field.
“To the players credit, morale remained high and despite the lack of player availability, the team managed to make the finals and go on to win the flag, and promotion to division six next season,” he said.
Mr Glass said anyone looking to be a part of the club’s foray into division three and six next season could contact the club on 0481 054 039.
He said new bowlers were welcome.
