Festive spirit shines on the mat
INDOOR bowlers got in to the Christmas spirit on Monday, with many enjoying the opportunity to dress in festive costume.
This week was the last night of bowls before the Christmas break and there was a variety of costumes worn following the Christmas theme – with prizes awarded for best costumes.
There were a few upsets in scores during the evening.
In division one, the two bottom teams faced each other, Wannon Park Dogs and Dennington High Fives.
The Dogs were led by Maureen Drennan (s), who was joined by team-mates Jenny Meade, Peter Street and Karl Keegan.
The High Fives were led by Les Lenehan (s), with team-mates Frank Harney, Helen Harney and Yvonne Lenehan.
Both sides recorded a win.
Top team, the Heytesbury Honeys had a loss to the Allansford Cats 28-8.
The Honeys line up of Lara Mungean, Cherie Mungean and Brett Mungean were beaten by their mother and grandmother Rita Mungean who was playing for the Allansford Cats.
Rita will head into the Christmas break with bragging rights in that family.
The Honeys maintain their grip on top spot, but are now only one shot clear of the second placed Cats.
In division two, top side Port Fairy Seagulls also suffered a loss at the hands of the Allansford Tigers and the bottom side Camperdown recorded a win over the Wannon Park Barkers.
The ladder shows the top four in this division remain the same, and the only position change was the Heytesbury Hyenas moving up one spot from eighth to seventh, with the Koroit Hornets moving down.
Division three saw a battle between third and fourth, with Cooramook Saints (third) Greg Quinn (s), Nancy Jenkins, Geoff Cook and Danielle Gilchrist, going down to the Wannon Park Hounds, Gilmore Bates (s), Maureen Bond, Dennis Brooks and Ray Bond 19-23.
This caused a ladder change for these two teams and we now see the Hounds take over third place.
Wishing all players a safe and happy Christmas.
Play will return to the mats on Monday, January 13.
