For the second year running, there was no official road bowls match at the Nariel Creek Folk Festival in 2020, this time due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
A match was not run at the 2019 festival due to the heat wave leading up to New Year’s Eve and then the evacuation of the festival caused by the disastrous fires in the North East of Victoria. (See: Victorian fires force cancellation of 2019 Road Bowls)
In 2020, there was not match at Nariel due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and although many people turned up to camp at the Nariel Creek site, there were no road bowls "officials", and so no match.
