Burwood District Looking For New Recruits

Burwood District Bowls Club is looking for new members to join up and help strengthen our depth to strive for further on green success. Our Division 1 Side needs strengthening in order to compete and fight our way to get into Premier Division.
We are looking for bowlers of a Division 1 standard of any age that can help to get to where we want to be.
The club has 14 qualified accredited coaches who actively oversee the development and the fine tuning of players to help achieve their own personal, team and club goals.
Last season Burwood District had 9 out of the 18 selected players, represent Group 13 in the Group Championships in Corowa. We have the potential to go far but we still require that "missing element" to go that extra step.
No positions in the top side are "set in stone" and the club will be selecting the best and in form possible 16 players each week.
If you are interested in being a part of a successful club and want to take up the challenge of help lifing a club from Division 1 into Premier Division then come and join us and experience our magnificent garden sourroundings and our two brand new greens in 2009/10.

Burwood's Division 3 Premiers

Burwood District's second side has won Melbourne's Metropolitan Division 3 Premiership with an emphatic 66 shot victory over Blackburn played out at Ringwood Bowls Club on Saturday 14th March. The team was magnificent right across the whole green winning on every rink. Burwood went into the afternoon tea break with a 30 shot lead on a slow green due to a storm hitting the venue just before the start of play. We handled the conditions well and then just after the restart yet another storm hit Ringwood and play was halted for 30 minutes. Blackburn just could not keep up with the Burwood team who steamrolled their opponents. The rink skipped by Nick Hodgens won 42-10, the rink skipped by Rob Morley won 29-14, the rink skipped by Harold Kennedy won 23-17 and the rink skipped by Mike Chittenden won 28-15. A brilliant display and well deserved!

BDBC Hosts City v Country Deaf Bowls

The conglomerate team of City Deaf defeated Country deaf on Saturday in the 16th Annual City Deaf v Country Deaf bowls event at Burwood District Bowls Club and in doing so secured the Owen K Fielding Memorial Shield.
With the win, their third in a row, City deaf moves to 11 wins, with Country Deaf having triumphed on 5 occasions.
The best bowler trophies were determined by votes for the best opposition bowler on each rink. The recipients this year were:
CITY best bowler: Heather Wilson (Montmorency)
COUNTRY best bowler: Shirley Morrison (Bendigo VRI)
The Burwood District greens were running at a beautiful 14 seconds and a great time was had by all. Next year's event, 17th Annual Country Deaf v City Deaf will be held at Donald and Birchip Bowls Club in March/April 2010.

Ross Lawrence Is BDBC Men's Champion

Ross Lawrence has become the 2008/09 Burwood District Club Singles Champion in a marathon 34 end match to defeat Daniel Frew 25-21.
The final was of an extremely high standard as both players put on an exhibition of fantastic lawn bowling.
The first 16 ends were very tight before Ross got on a bit of a roll and blew the scoreline out to 23-14. However the score did not reflect how well Daniel was fighting.
With Ross holding match at the head on a number of occasions, Daniel managed to kill the ends and eventually win the replays. He clawed his way back into the game and was 21-24 down when, what was to be the final end, Ross again was holding match and Daniel had two second shot bowls. He then drove at the Lawrence bowl only to clip the jack into his own bowls and ricocheted it wide on the rink with the Lawrence bowl still holding shot and the championship!
Congratulations Ross on a great win!

Wendy Promnitz Is BDBC Ladies Champion

The Burwood District Ladies Club Singles Championship was played between Evelyn Lambert and Wendy Promnitz on Wednesday 17th December 2008 with reigning champion Wendy Promnitz going back to back after winning 25-9.
Overnight and morning rain saw the picturesque Warner Green running fairly slow and Wendy took the mat at every opportunity and went ditch to ditch which proved to be the winning tactic.
Wendy started very strongly and was never really challenged from the word go. Her draw shot was just too consistent and Evelyn just could not find her rhythm.
Both players fought very hard in the knockout games and had to defeat most of the top ladies at Burwood District to earn a spot in the final.
Both ladies had won the Club Singles before so they both knew what sort of pressure to expect. Evelyn did exceptionally well to get to the final considering she had experienced a family tragedy not long ago.
Congratulations to Wendy Promnitz, our Ladies Singles Champion for 2008/09. Best of luck for the Champion of Champions!
