Jerilderie

Saturday saw a first for Jerilderie Sports Club with two Jerilderie pennant teams playing together at home for the first time since the formation of our new club and laying down the new surface.

The greens and surrounding area was presented in fantastic condition thanks to the hard work of members. The heavy roller certainly made a difference.

Division Five hosted Strathmerton and scored their first win for the season to be equal fourth on the ladder. Thanks to our subs for filling in.

Division Three welcomed Berrigan and the home team gained 15 points after winning two rinks and drawing one.

A general bye this week will make selection a breeze and give everyone a break.

Each Thursday evening barefoot bowling starts at 6pm, all are welcome; we have new bowls for use.
