Greater Western Lawn Bowls
Our Sacred Heart Lawn Bowls team is playing in the Greater Western Lawn Bowls Tournament today at the Sebastopol Bowling Club. We hope they are doing well. We are very grateful to the Lake Bowling Club who have helped us to prepare for this tournament and welcomed us to their club. They have given us some coaching and a chance to practise under the dome when the weather has been too wet for us to practise at school.
