Competing priorities with the Kangaroo Valley Show resulted in no bowls report last month. I will therefore stagger the social bowls reporting over the next two editions to avoid making the report too lengthy.
Pennants
The Mixed Pennant competition is well underway, with Berry Grade 6’s in a reasonably good position after five rounds.
On 11 February the Berry Grade 2 Team went down 10 points to nil against Culburra 3 with the main scoreboard reading 64 to 48 in Culburra’s favour. Despite winning two of the three games, the Berry 6 Team lost against Worrigee Sports 5 due to the 71 to 56 point deficit on the main score board, losing by 8 points to 2.
Berry 2 was at home to Nowra 2 on 18 February but managed only one win and went down 48 to 63 on the main scoreboard, resulting in a 1 to 9 loss. Berry 6 was away to Greenwell Point 6 and only managed one draw, resulting in a .5 to 9.5 loss, with a total score of 50 to 66.
25 February pitted Berry 2 against Callala 4 at Callala. This very close game resulted in a win to Berry by 57 points to 51, giving Berry nine competition points to Callala 4’s one point. The grade 6 game between Berry 6 at home and Culburra 5 resulted in a 10 to nil victory to Berry, with the main scoreboard reading 70 to 40 in Berry’s favour.
In Round 4 on 4 March, Berry 2 went down to Shoalhaven Heads 4, despite a win and a draw as the main scoreboard read 63 to 56 in Shoalhaven Heads’ favour.

The Round 5 clash between Berry 2 and Nowra 4, at Nowra, resulted in a 10 points to nil loss to Berry, with the main scoreboard reading 80 to 46 in Nowra’s favour. On a happier note, the Berry 6’s had a 10 point victory over the Greenwell Point 6 team, winning all three games with a 76 to 45 point advantage on the main scoreboard.
