#BPL08 – Day 1: Gorillas beat their chest
It was a thrilling opening day’s play at Club Pine Rivers (QLD), with a boisterous opening night atmosphere to boot.
The Gorillas were unstoppable, with Kay Moran, Aaron Teys and Jeremy Henry disposing of the Steamers, Roys, Blackjacks and defending champions, the Club Helensvale Gold Coast Hawks.
Chasing them are the Steamers, who ended the day with three wins, while the Blackjacks, Pirates and Roys all secured two wins on Day 1.
Rounding out the standings are the Suns, Lions and the Hawks, all with just the one win from four matches.
You can catch all the BPL08 action daily via Bowls Australia’s Facebook page (Rinkside Live) and be sure to tune into Fox Sports (Sky Sports NZ for New Zealand audiences) nightly from 6pm AEDT for the action-packed night sessions.
