So, I decided that I would go to the local footy and catch up with a few mates that I play lawn bowls with during the summer. Down to the Eastern Oval I went to watch the clash between Redan and East-Point in the Ballarat Football League. What I saw was a very entertaining game played in trying wet and cold conditions with Redan coming away with the victory. I had such a good time, I'm going to sign up for a membership with the Lions for season 2014. Looking forward to going to more games in the future.

I am only on my L plates. Played night comp last year on Tuesday nights over the summer. Enjoyed it and learned a bit. Have been playing night owls social bowls for around 6 years on a Wednesday night. A few ales and a great night to chill out, roll the arm and catch up/meet with a few of the other bowlers.
