Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club

Situated in Princes Park Carlton we offer fun and good times to all!

'Two out of three ain't bad'Thankfully Andrew didn't give us a rendition of that Meat Loaf Golden Oldie. However, more importantly he 'performed' on the green. Andrew missed most of the last season battling health issues. And it was terrific to have him back playing competition bowls. Both our Firsts and Seconds had solid wins today. Whilst our Thirds fell just two shots short of a Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club Trifecta. The John Adams Winter Pennant season continues to be a wonderful competition in between the main event. ...

We didn't have the start to the John Adams Winter Pennant season we'd hoped for. Our Firsts had a win at Fitzroy Victoria Bowling & Sports Club. However East Ivanhoe Bowling Club INC gave our Seconds a lesson in being prepared for a match. We thought 'on paper' we would've had their measure. Whereas on the green ( where it counts ) they arrived early, made full use of half an hour's pre match practice...and gave us a lesson in 'coming to a game prepared'. Our Thirds had a hard day out at Caulfield Park. Driving out there is always a Tough Gig, and yesterday was no exception. Let's take stock, regroup and come out better prepared for next week's Medley Round. ... See MoreSee Less
