Both Friday pennant teams and three out of four Saturday pennant teams are playing this weekend in the grand finals. The Division Three team did well to make the finals, only to miss out on a spot in the big game by three shots.
Last Friday at Berrigan both Friday pennant teams played on a very good green and won their way through to the grand final. Division two defeated Tocumwal Golf and division one defeated Cobram. This Friday the teams meet Picola and Numurkah Golf at the Cobram green.
Supporters are most welcome to come along and give support to these two teams.
Last Saturday the Division Two team played in the preliminary final at Strathmerton against Picola, and although the slick green tricked the Barooga bowlers for a while, they came out victors by 11 shots and now join divisions four and one in grand finals. Division One will play Wunghnu at Numurkah town and divisions two and four will play at Numurkah Golf.
Practice is on Wednesday at 4.30 pm followed by a sausage sizzle. If you can't make it to the practice for whatever reason then please come along for the coach's talk after, as he has some important information and tactics he wishes to pass on to all players as we attempt to win five grand finals.
