Ashy Carpet Dashers break new ground.

Indoor bias bowls at Ashburton have achieved unprecedented success with all five teams making the finals and two have made it all the way to the Grand Final.
   
The two Tuesday night sides finished on top after the home and away rounds
but were knocked out in the semi finals played at Gen Waverley last Tuesday
the 3rd of August.
 
In the Wednesday afternoon competition we had a side in each of the three
divisions and finished 4th, 2nd and 4th after the home and away rounds.
The division one side was knocked out in the semi final at North Balwyn but
the division two and three teams won their semi finals played at Doncaster
and will play in the grand final next Wednesday 11th August at Doncaster
stating at 1pm.
 
The Div 2 side consisting of Joyce Cape, Adelaide Toward, Dinah Wall and
Roger Cawsey (skip) will face stiff competition from the season's form side,
Bayswater, but are confident of taking the match right up to the favourites.
During the round robin Ashburton was the only side to really offer any real
opposition to them and only went down by a few shots so we expect another
close tussle.
 
The Division 3 side, consisting of Bryan Reede, Hilde Tupcienko, Andrew Ades
and Ray Namour (skip) will face off against the old foe, Glen Waverley.
These two sides had some ding dong battles during the season and we are in
with a great chance of victory.
 
It would be great to see some Ashburton people come down to Doncaster
Bowling Club on Wednesday afternoon to support our teams.


 

 

 

Ashburton win Division 3 Section 5!



Ashburton Bowls Club have taken out Section 5 of Division 3, and the next final, to be promoted to Division 2 in 2010/2011 Season!

A great follow up to the Division 2 Metropolitan win the year before, Ashburton will now have Division 1 & Division 2 Teams in Saturday Pennant.

 

 
 

BOTTOM GREEN CLOSURE.

 Following receipt of the report from SportsTurf  Consultants [Aust] to address the ongoing problems with the bottom green and discussion with our Greens Contractor, the Committee has decided to replace the existing bent grass with Tiftdwarf couch grass. [similar to the top green]

 Tiftdwarf grass requires less water and is easier and cheaper than bent grass to maintain and is generally a tougher surface. It will also allow for good bowling for many more years than a bent grass green would allow on this site.

 Tiftdwarf grass can only be established during the growing season which is in each summer. On Monday 22 Nov 2010 the bottom green will be closed and preparation will begin for Tiftdwarf sprigs from the Corowa Bowls Club to be planted. Given good weather it may be available for play again in April 2011 but not at its best until the summer of 2011/2012. Permission from the Burwood Bowls Club to play one sides Saturday Pennant games from 27 Nov 2010 to March 2011 has been approved.

 This will not affect Tuesday Pennant as each side consists of 3 rinks only, so the top green will accommodate two sides each week. Managers of Social bowls and other regular tournaments should note that if their event is played after 22 November 2010, then just the top green of 7 rinks will be available.
