City vs Country
Thank you to all Burnett members that participated in the annual City Vs Country challenge that was held at Burnett on Sunday.
Conditions were fine and sunny with the greens running quite quick. City and Country were locked at 263-263 points after the conclusion of the game.
A countback on rink wins could not break the deadlock as both sides won 7 rinks apiece.
Therefore, the Match Committee decided to declare a drawn game.
Thank you to the District Patron Rex Clements and to Burnett Bowls Club for donating the prizemoney for the day.
Also, thank you to all the Burnett volunteers that helped support the day.
Special mention to Ken and Sue from Ken’s Kepnock Butchery for supplying the sausages for the BBQ as I am sure it was appreciated by the bowlers.
Well done to all!
