BRIDGEWATER’S weekend pennant bowls team successfully negotiated a heavy green after 10mm of rain overnight to defeat Woodbury and record their first win for the season.
Three of the four Division 5 rinks were successful in the win, 77 shots (16 points) to 63 (2 points).
Glenn Mangan, Tyler Estrada, Glenn Catto and Peter Gath were the best on the day, winning 29-10.
The Goldfields side travelled to Avoca to play on carpet and went down by 14 shots overall, with the rink of Ron Brown, Jenny Hosking, Ray Simons and Nick Saunders having a good win.
The Monday pennant side copped a pasting from Harcourt, losing 58 shots (14 points) to 32 shots (0 points). The team still sits second on the ladder, one spot above Harcourt.
INGLEWOOD
The ladder-leading Monday side won a thriller against South Bendigo, with 38 shots (12 points) to 37 (two points).
The team of Arthur Harrison, Joan Roberts, Dionne Roberts and Kathleen McNaught got Inglwood home with a four-shot win after the other four lost by three shots.
The Division 1 team hosted Kangaroo Flat on Saturday and hung on tenaciously for a much needed eight-shot win, lifting the side to fifth place on the ladder.
The biggest victors were Geoff Wilson’s four, which won by 10 shots.
Division 5 found Golden Square too good, but the team keeps winning rinks – two this week – enabling them to cling to sixth spot.
The best rink on the day was the team of Ben Scoble, Brendan Hopcott, Wendy Wilson and Bev Taig (skip) with a 13-shot win.
SERPENTINE
The weekend Division 2 side lost heavily to South Bendigo, 104 shots (16 points) to 59 shots (2 points). The shining light was the team of Ben Long, Ken Canfield, Brian Tuohey and Lawrence Cadzow, which came away with a six-shot win.
Serp is still looking for its first victory of the season and plays Eaglehawk at home this week.
