The division ladder doesn’t tell the whole story, especially early in the season. After three rounds, Wednesday’s Sturt II has one win, one loss and one draw, but the photos show there are valuable developments happening.
First, the integration into the team of new members Brett Lymn, Jeff Kite and Chris Adam is now underway - Chris played his first game for Sturt II this week - and these players add experience and skill to the team.
Second, the return of Mocha Dunstan from two knee operations over winter is an inspiration, and it is exciting to see him bowling in the challenging pairs rink.
Third, there is a core of long-standing pennant bowlers like Deano Pye, Russell Moore, Gerry Dillon, Alan Ludlow, Rod Stuart, Alan Catterall and Ward Swansson that can steady the ship and sail forward when the going gets tough.
The photos point towards the strong foundations of Wednesday’s Sturt II team and its potential to be highly competitive this season.
