Tuesday Pennant had A1’s playing at home against a much-improved Wang side; winning 12/58 to 2/56.
Greg Green’s rink started well but Wang pegged them back only to see the home team power home winning 7 of the last 8 ends to win 22/13.
Miles’ rink won 23/19, nothing was going right for them but after changing to go very short ends (great jack rolling by Siggi Rempal), the momentum swung their way.
On the 20th end Wang was holding 3 shots and with the game in the balance, Anne played the shot of the day when she played a up shot that found the tiniest gap to take the jack into the ditch for 4 shots.
On the last end to show it was no fluke she trailed the jack into the ditch for 2. Claire Sanders rink started REAL slow but clawed their way back going down 13/24.
A2’s had a good win against Yackandandah winning 12/70 to 2/47.
Allan Goudge’s rink had a great day winning 31/8 well backed up by Ian Price rink 19/16 and Garry Hart having come back from a bad start to go down 20/23.
A3’s travelled to Kiewa, always a hard task going down 2/43 to 12/73. Greg Fisher’s rink had a good win 17/13, but Doddy lost 15/21 and Marie Whitehead losing 11/39.
B1’s travelled to another tough opposition in Moyhu where they lost 14/59 to 0/36 and playing on their carpet which a lot of the new bowlers wouldn’t have encountered before did a mighty effort. Judy Wenzel lost 11/16, Bob Liddell lost 13/20 and Carolyn Boston losing 12/23.
Wednesday 2 bowl triples have 14 teams and the winners were the Yarra team led by Ian Woods, runners up were Rutherglen rink led by Chris Langdon, sponsors for the day were Purtle Electrical Contractors.
Weekend pennant began on Friday night under the brand new lights, playing the local derby against Yarra.
For all the people who stayed at home you missed one hell of a match and YMGCR scrapping over the line winning 15/86 to 3/78.
The match between the two young guns in Jimmy LeFevre and Tyson Cromie had every shot in the book and more, but Jim came out the winner 26/16 (the score didn’t give the true closeness of the game).
Ray Irvine’s rink picked up a 5 on the last end to sneak home 25 to 22 with his last bowl he put it into the count and as he ‘ran’ down the rink screaming. Wife Rhonda thought she might have to get the defibrillator from the office, just in case (he hasn’t moved that fast since his football days).
Michael Szabo rink had a great tussle with Tim Cromie and with Szabs last bowl drew that shot to salvage a draw 20/20.
Anne Miles rink lost 18/23 and the win puts us third on the ladder.
A2’s travelled to Myrtleford and lost 1/59 to 17/94, Siggi Rempals rink got a 2 on the last end to draw 20/20.
Cat lost 13/21, Ian Price lost 15/24 and Kerry Kinnane going down 11/29.
A4’s played Corowa Civic at home and had an outstanding win 18/133 to 0/44. Good bowling across the 4 rinks with Steve Gann rink winning 36/9.
Ian Morffew winning 36/11, Bob Liddell winning 33/10 and Marie Whitehead winning 28/14.
This victory thrust them to top place on the ladder.
B2’s travelled to Corowa Civic and lost but they put up a great fight losing 2/54 to 12/59. Ross Lloyd won 22/18, Noel Millar lost 18/21 and Robyn Balfour losing 14/21.
Well done as quite a few players were out this week and with that the club would like to thank all emergencies that fill in every week.
Date to remember - November 20 - last day for Men’s and Ladies Single Championship entries.
On Sunday Jim, Andy LeFevre and Garry Sanders made the semifinals of the O&M Triples and ladies of Anne Miles, Claire Sanders and Laureen Smith team and Caroline Reilly and Sue Middleton in composite sides also make the Semi’s.

Saturday, November 14 - Weekend Pennant – Division A3
ClubMulwala 73 (4) lost to Beechworth 77 (14).
No individual rink scores available.
The home team started out exceptionally well with good scores on the board early, however as good teams do Beechworth started pegging the score back mid-game and eventually ran out deserving winners.
This was a disappointing result for ClubMulwala however the club will be stronger welcoming back three main players who were unavailable this week.
Weekend Pennant – Division B2
ClubMulwala 83 (16) defeated Chiltern 37 (0).
C. Morton, J. Morton, J. Laughlin and S. McPhee (30) defeated A. Hamilton, G. Burden, L. Dryden and D. Milthorpe (8).
J. Murdock, K. Allender, R. To vet and A. Albert (23) defeated N. Martin, I. Bell, A. Chick and R. Eyebrow (18).
D. Chessum, F. Cook, J. Connor and L. Evans (30) defeated S. Woodbyrne, J. Fisher, E. Manly and G. Barnes (11).
In this game we also had a number of players unavailable resulting in late reshuffling of the make-up of the side.
What an excellent performance by all to come away with a convincing win causing headaches for the selectors next week. Well done B2s.
Please note that the sheet for Club Singles (Men’s and Women’s) is on the greens notice board. Please support the club in all championship events.
