The Midweek Pennant Section Grand Finals were played this week. The top Monbulk side was playing at Mooroolbark, a neutral ground, against the Warburton top side in Division 2.
The weather was perfect, and the greens were in tip-top condition.
It was a close match all day on the composite scoreboard, with level scores and lead changes happening right to the finish. Monbulk had two rinks down, but the other rink was able to make up the deficit and ensure a close overall Monbulk win for the Premiership flag, 64 shots to 62.
It’s been a few years since the Monbulk top side brought home a flag, so it was quite an atmosphere of celebration back at the Monbulk club, despite the weary legs. The win also means that the Monbulk top side will be promoted next season to Division 1. That will be a step up in competition and should be a testing season for our players. It might require a long pre-season. Well done Monbulk Hawks.
