Running from October to March, the lawn bowls season is not for the faint of heart. This season saw our club with teams in Divisions 3, 4 and 7. This was on the back of one relegation and two promotions the previous year from Divisions 2, 5 and 8.
The grand plan was to get the Division 3 team promoted back to Division 2 and consolidate the other two teams in their new Divisions.
After having played in the top side for several years in various positions I was given the opportunity to skip a rink in the second side this season. I was a bit nervous initially, but over the course of the season I grew into the role and finished up with 11 wins from 14 appearances with an average winning margin of 5 shots. Not a bad start.
The second side finished third on the ladder and played finals - but fell short of promotion (which isn't all bad). It was a great season and exceeded the expectations of many. The third side finished seventh and remain in Division 7 as per the plan. Consolidation achieved.
The top side dropped two games for the entire season and finished at the top of the ladder by quite a margin. They then went on to win their semi-final thus gaining promotion back to Division 2.
Grand plan achieved. What a season!
