GEELONG bowls officials are meeting this afternoon to determine grand final teams after this weekend’s preliminary finals were wiped out by back-to-back total fire bans.

Under league protocol, no matches can be played on total fire ban days.

In a freak scenario, both Saturday and Sunday are total fire bans, prompting league officials to meet at 3pm this afternoon to decide the next course of action.

Bowls finals are among the many events cancelled across the region.

All cricket finals are continuing as scheduled.

Matches were originally scheduled for Saturday but were moved to Sunday on Friday night. Sunday’s matches were called off this morning.
