04.01.2022 Before and after photos of our Division 3 (now division 2) sides at the Grand Final. After last weeks nail biting 1 shot win against Morwell at Moe, our legion of supporters fronted up at Traralgon bowls club to see the players do battle against the strong Thorpdale side. They werent to be disappointed. As the game see-sawed throughout the day, down early, up by 3 shots at afternoon tea only to slip behind again, then rally to tie the game after the allotted 100 ends. The coin was tossed and the nail biting began all over again. It didnt look too good being even over three rinks and Brendon Smiles 5 shots down with only one bowl left, with nerves of steel Brendon trusted his judgement, played into the head to turn 5 down into 2 up to win the match. Congratulations to all involved and good luck in Division 2.
