INGLEWOOD division one had a thrilling last bowl, one-shot, win against a very strong Golden Square team in Bendigo midweek bowls last week.
It was a strange game as one of Inglewood’s rinks, the team of Laurie Witham, Ian Chamberlain, Patsy Lyndon and Merilyn Chamberlain, had a huge 20-shot win.
Another rink came up against strong opposition and went down by 19 shots.
The third rink of Mal McLean, Lindsay Kelly, Bev Taig and Geoff Wilson had an enthralling 16 all draw.
The thrilling play of the day was the rink, led by Mal McLean, who were last to finish with the team one shot down overall and the last end to be played.
When Mal stepped up to the mat, Inglewood was two shots down and he proceeded to draw shot with his first bowl and sat his first bowl with the second bowl, last of the game, and it fell in for the second shot to give the club a one-shot win overall.
Sensational bowling, the results of which all happened within 15cm of the Kitty, as were Golden Square’s original shot bowls.
Final Result: Inglewood 55 shots (13pts) to Golden Square 54 shots (3 pts).
Inglewood’s division five also had to work hard for their three-shot win against Strathfieldsaye.
The rink of Pam Kelly, Arthur Harrison, Dianne Andrew and Joan Roberts were in front all day in a tight contest and won by three shots.
The other rink of Vicky Tierney, Daniel Garrett, Phyliss McEwan and Edna Patterson were 11 shots to zero down at the start, before staging a courageous fight back to draw their game.
Great effort by all to gain this win as they start the defence of their premiership from last year.
Final Result: Inglewood 40 shots (13 pts) to Strathfieldsaye 37 shots (1 pt).
