OGBC JUNIORS TAKE THEIR FIRST PENNANT WIN

Ryan McCalman and Herbie Clark are two up-and-coming bowlers at the Ocean Grove Bowling Club, participating in both the Junior Bowls Academy and Saturday Pennant.

The Junior Bowls Academy sessions take place every Monday at 5pm, in preparation for their Saturday Pennant games each weekend. Both players are working hard to develop their skills with the goal of competing at higher levels in the sport in years to come.

Their progress was highlighted by their first rink win against Clifton Springs, which ended with a narrow 16-15 victory, followed by their first overall win against St Leonards, a thrilling 34-33 result. It has been a very interesting season for the 2 boys, with byes, walkovers, heat outs, a drawn first game, a win and a couple of close losses.

They currently sit 4th on the ladder and are dreaming of playing finals. These early successes mark important milestones in their bowling journey at Ocean Grove Bowls Club.
