For the third year running, there was no official road bowls match at the Nariel Creek Folk Festival in 2021.
Due to disruptions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic during the year, no road bowls officials attended Nariel in 2021, and as a result no road bowls match.
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.
