Tomorrows pennant matches will start early with 0915 rollup for 0930 start.
45 ends over the 3 rinks constitutes a game. The TMD is to be used for temperature monitoring with side managers in charge. 35 degrees sees all rinks stop until the temperature falls below. If temperature stays above 35 for more than an hour the game/s are abandoned. If ends are 45 or greater the scores count. Below 45 ends points are shared.
Stay cool.

With the temperature forecast to be over 35 degrees on Saturday, the MPBR Match committee will issue a notice to all Clubs prior to 6pm whether the games will be played early or indeed abandoned. An early start means rollup at 0915 with games starting at 0930.
Stay tuned for further information.

What a way to finish for the Women’s Side! All rinks up and a Silver Medal in the Marj Morris 🙌🏻

Round 3 Midweek pennant saw both HBC divisions having a win and moving up on the ladder. Div 4 are 4th and Div 2 are 6th.
Note next weeks games are being held on the Wednesday due to the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. Both sides will be at Home.

A mixed day of results from Yesterdays pennant with Div 8 having a win away and in second spot on the ladder. Div 1 had a Bye and sit in 3rd spot with Divisions 2 and 5 trying hard to hit their straps.
Round 3 next Saturday.

Great advice!
