Ball starts rolling on new Manjimup bowls season

Manjimup Bowls Club heralded the 2021-22 season with its open day on Sunday. The event was well attended with 30 players taking part in the tournament, which was sponsored by Balbarup Farms. Paul Wood was crowned the winner, with Fran Wood coming second and Ron Cressy third. Manjimup Bowls Club’s Peter Cully said it was a successful day despite the weather. “Everybody was rugged up for an overcast day,” he said. “We couldn’t display our full uniforms, everybody came in different coats and jumpers but overall we got our three rounds of bowls in for the day.” The club will play its men’s drawn fours competition next weekend, followed by drawn threes the weekend after. The Blackwood League will also begin this month, starting with the Women’s Pennants on October 12, followed by the Men’s Midweek Pennants on October 13 and the Men’s Saturday Pennants competition on October 23
