Club Combo Fives
Dandenong Club runs a weekly event called Club Combo Fives. It’s perfect if you want more action on the green. You’ll need a team of five players, and each team gets two rinks to play on under lights at night. Each week’s competition includes singles, pairs, triples, and fours. The scoring in pairs and triples means more of your bowls count per match. Combo Fives has proved to be a hit.
