Day 1 Results
The first day of play in the annual Tasmania versus Victoria Test match took place today at the Trevallyn Bowls Club in Launceston with a mixed bag of results. The Open sides came out roaring in the morning session of play only dropping 1 rink out of 6 to take the first tests in both the Open Men’s and Women’s matches.
However as expected the Victorian’s came out firing in the afternoon sessions turning it around against the Women’s Open Side. After the tigers taking all three rink wins in the morning, it was the Vic’s that won on all three in the afternoon session to claim the second test. While our Open Men’s teams couldn’t have been any closer. McMullen and Strochnetter both narrowly lost by 1 on each of their rinks, while former Victorian Lee Schraner competing in his first French Holbrook Series in Tassie colours skipped his rink to a two shot victory, which secured the draw for the second test.
Both our under 25’s men and women were narrowly defeated for their opening tests by a count back on shots up, after winning 2 disciplines each. While the Victorian under 18 junior sides cruised to easy first test victories over the young Tasmanians.
With all 6 trophies well and truly still up for grabs, play will commence at 9.30am again on Thursday 4th December at Trevallyn.
