Indoor bowls action continues
LAST Monday night saw another two new players join the Warrnambool indoor bowls competition for this pennant season.
Players welcomed back immediate past president Karl Keegan who has been holidaying in Queensland.
Karl skipped the Wannon Park Barkers with Barney Fish, Kim Brauer and Ray Bond.
The Barkers were up against the Allansford Tigers, comprising Barb Draffen (s), Liz Lenehan, Sally Madden and Di Mugavin.
This was a close game until the last two ends when the Tigers managed to score seven shots on the last two ends to win by eight.
This saw The Barkers drop from second place to fifth but still only two wins behind first placed Port Fairy Seagulls.
The Seagulls notched up another impressive win against the Koroit Hornets, their seventh win from eight games and they are currently looking like the team to beat.
The Heytesbury Hyenas welcomed a handy new recruit in Pam Wines who is a current state player, who joined Noah Mungean (s), Joyce Roberts and Maria Van Someren.
The Hyenas had a comfortable win over the Allansford Jaguars and jumped another two spots up the ladder.
In division one, the Peter Baker-skipped Heytesbury Honeys notched up another impressive win.
This time they defeated the Wannon Park Racers and they now have a two game lead on top of the ladder and a three game buffer from the Racers who are now out of the top four.
All the games in division one were lopsided this week, including the game between the Dennington Hot Shots with Allan Armistead (s), Bec Heard, Deb Chislett and Scott Pierce, who were in fifth place but had a good win over second-placed Allansford Cats.
In division three, the battle of the top two sides saw the Dennington Devils record a 14-shot win over the top team Dennington Demons to leap frog over them and take back top spot.
The Devils and the Demons are level on games won, but they only have a one game buffer over both third placed Cooramook Saints and fourth placed Wannon Park Hounds.
