A recap of the opening round of midweek bowls for 2025 should help you regain that pep in your step.
Goulburn Valley Playing Area’s bowlers were put through their paces in the searing heat on Tuesday.
The round 10 Goulburn Valley midweek pennant fixture returned for the first matches since December 17.

The host made light work of its cross-town rival, winning all three rinks.
Shepparton Park's smallest victory for the day was during the first rink when it defeated East Shepparton 26-19.
The final score finished 16-75 to 0-39 in the host’s favour.
Tatura-Hill Top secured a similar victory over Kyabram in its match at home.
However, while the host won all three rinks, the margins in each rink never stretched beyond three shots.
The final score finished 16-61 to 0-52.
Ladder-leader Tallygaroopna secured a comfortable victory over Shepparton Golf.
Despite losing the first rink, Tally stormed home to claim a 14-65 to 2-51 win.
