Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club
Situated in Princes Park Carlton we offer fun and good times to all!
A big shout out to Thornbury who hosted our Seconds and gave us a spanking ( with kindness ).![]()
They are one of the clubs that put real effort into providing hospitality for visitors. ![]()
And we always appreciate their efforts and invariably enjoy playing against them ( even when we're on the receiving end of a spanking).![]()
Our Firsts got away with winning at home and have secured a finals berth.![]()
They've had an impressive season after getting out of the blocks slowly at the start of the season.![]()
Unfortunately our Seconds will be playing their last home and away game next week.![]()
Midweek pennant is on track to playing finals, alongside one of our Night Pennant teams.![]()
This season has been a mixed bag for our club. ![]()
We've seen a few spirited wins alongside a couple of unpleasant incidents on the green.![]()
Thornbury have entered three teams in The Carlton Classic on Sunday 19th April.![]()
This invitation tournament invariably fills up early with repeat participants and 'friends' of Princes Park.![]()
Once they've played in The Carlton Classic, they invariably return.
We send a Princes Park contingent to Hawthorn's Australia Day tournament every year.![]()
They are a club with whom we've built a good relationship over the last decade.![]()
And it's a relationship we intend to 'work on' in years to come.![]()
They regularly enter a few teams in our annual tournament The Carlton Classic and we reciprocate in kind.![]()
Thanks once again for running a terrific day. The lunch at Hawthorn is always delicious.![]()
The Carlton Classic will be held on Sunday 19th April.![]()
We accepted a handful of entries yesterday.![]()
Once they've played in a Carlton Classic, they invariably return for more. ![]()
It's a terrific day on the green.
No Pennant tomorrow.![]()
Both games have been called off due to the excessive heat forecast- 40 degrees. ![]()
Tuesday's ( midweek Pennant ) forecast is equally as daunting.![]()
Our Team Manager will be monitoring matters and will inform the 'usual suspects' on Monday.
Another encouraging weekend on the green for our troops.![]()
Our Firsts had another solid win. ![]()
After starting the season poorly they've chalked up some impressive wins. ![]()
Saturday saw the momentum continue.![]()
PPC 99- Essendon 56![]()
And then our Seconds very nearly pulled off another 'improbable' win.![]()
Having snatched the lead at the tail end of the match they fell short by just two shots against Preston Reservoir.![]()
Considering how slowly the season commenced, both sides have seen a noticeable turnaround in form.![]()
Let's keep up the momentum.
Kara's unpleasant experience at the beginning of the pennant season resonated with scores of bowlers in a recent social media post.![]()
We nearly lost her ( as a pennant player ) after an unpleasant opponent spent 21 ends belittling her and 'highlighting' her inexperience and knowledge of the game.![]()
"I don't want to spend my Saturday afternoons putting up with that bullshit."![]()
Fast forward a couple of months, and we're delighted to report that Kara's back on the green with a vengeance. ![]()
She recently competed in the Inner West Novice tournament winning both her games, finishing equal leader in her group, and progressing onto the next round. ![]()
Yes we need far more bubbly and enthusiastic young women like Kara on our greens...as opposed to 'nit picky battle axes' lording it over, those new to our game.![]()
Good luck on Sunday Kara.
