Indoor bowls action continues

DIVISION one of Heytesbury Indoor Bias Bowls Action last week saw the battle of the Timboon Laws teams.

In Division 1, Camperdown 1 Lead Judy Borthwick delivers her bowl as Camperdown 2 Lead Margaret Ovens watches.

Timboon Lawns 1 v 2 saw both teams get off to a solid start.

By end seven both scores were locked at nine-all and three ends later, they were drawn once again at 10-all.

Even after 14 ends, the scores could not be separated.

Timboon Lawn 2 picked up four more shots to lead by four heading into the last end but it was Timboon Lawn 1 who took the win, 23-21.

Glenormiston 1 hosted Cobden 1 and the home side got off to a very good start but by end six the scores were eight all.

Glenormiston 1 then kept pushing forward, picking up 11 shots to Cobden 1’s three shots, and then took the win 21-14.

The third division one match saw Mepunga 1 host Laang-Ecklin and both teams started out pretty evenly, but the home side got an early lead 7-2 after seven ends and then drew away to take the win 18-10.

Rounding out the division one coverage was the Battle of the Camperdowns – 1 v 2.

The ‘visitors’ got the jump on Camperdown 1 but by end 11, the home side had caught up and led by three shots.

Camperdown 2 then mounted a last-ditch effort to trail by one shot with three ends to go.

Camperdown 1 def. Camperdown 2, 16-14.

The top four this week are Glenormiston 1, Mepunga 1, Camperdown 1 and Timboon Lawn 1.

In division two, Mepunga 2 was home to Scotts Creek 1.

The home side broke away early and dictated much of the game, winning 28-13.

Cobden 2 played host to Glenormiston 3 and both teams started out pretty evenly, with the home side taking a two-shot lead after six ends.

Cobden 3 then dropped the hammer, picking up 13 shots on ends eight through 12.

Glenormiston 3 tried to fight back but was beaten 20-11.

By end seven of the match between Simpson 1 and Mepunga 3, both sides were locked at eight-all.

However, Simpson 1 picked up 11 shots to six in the next seven ends which proved the winning form, 22-16.

Also in division two, Glenormiston 2 lost to Timboon Lawn 3, 13-23.
