Club Sunbury doubles up

Club Sunbury bounced back on the weekend in the Bowls Victoria weekend pennant, division 1, section 1 with back-to-back wins.

After suffering its first loss of the season the previous weekend, Club Sunbury was on the green both Saturday and Sunday with both matches at home.

On Saturday, Club Sunbury had a big win at home against Middle Park, winning 107 (16)-63 (2).

Club Sunbury’s David Glennon said it was a good win for the side to get back on the winners list and cement their spot at the top of the table.

“To claim 16 points and rebound like that was good,” he said. “It was a really good win.”

Marc Bullows’ rink won 36-15, Mark Cowan’s rink won 25-11 and Lee Wesley’s rink won 29-15.

Ray Pretty’s rink went down 22-17.

Glennon said Bullows continued his good form and was again one of the standouts, along with Akasha Fortune and Kyle Shepherd.

It was a good day for Club Sunbury with all sides coming away with the win.

The top side was the only side back in action for Club Sunbury and they continued the preface weekend, back in action on Sunday against bottom side, Ivanhoe.

The highlight for Club Sunbury was that of Alex Marshall playing for the side.

Marshall is arguably the world’s greatest bowler making his appearance a massive boost for the club.

Club Sunbury kept the good form going, winning 98 (16)-49 (2).

Marshall skipped the rink usually skippered by Bullows, with the rink winning 26-9. Wesley’s rink won 23-12 and Cowan’s rink won 35-10.

Pretty’s rink suffered back-to-back losses, losing 18-14.

Club Sunbury sits on top of the ladder eight points clear of Lilydale after eight rounds.

It will be a top of the table clash this Saturday with Lilydale hosting Club Sunbury.
