A season that promised so much has ended in disappointment for Sunbury in Bowls Victoria pennant division 1, section 2.
Hoping to contest for the title, Sunbury’s season started off so well, before they fell away at the end of the year.
Sunbury entered Saturday’s semi final against MCC on the back of one win in the last six rounds.
Despite winning more rinks than its opponent, Sunbury lost 79 shots to 68.
Jimmy Reynolds and Todd Trewarne were the winning skips, with Lee Wesley having a draw.
Sunbury’s David Glennon said it was a close match all day, but Sunbury just couldn’t get the job done.
“There was only one losing rink,” he said. “That’s good effort.
“Sunbury was in front at about half time by three or four shots. Sunbury was chasing shots in the final ends, with the margin blowing out.
“It was closer than the score.”
Glennon said the side had set the aim of playing finals, which they had achieved but it was a disappointing end to the season.
“The first half of the season was good, but the back end was disappointing.”
It wasn’t all bad news for Sunbury, with one of their division 3 and division 7 sides earning promotion.
Glennon said overall it had been a successful season.
