Club Sunbury had to dig deep to remain undefeated in the Bowls Victoria weekend pennant division 1, section 1 competition.
Club Sunbury headed to the Dandenong Club for the first time, hoping to continue its good form.
It was a tough contest all day, with Club Sunbury coming away with the win, 73 (16)-67 (2).
Ray Pretty’s rink won 19-18, Lee Wesley’s rink won 22-16 and Marc Bullows’ rink remained undefeated after winning 20-16.
Mark Cowan’s rink lost 17-12.
Club Sunbury’s David Glennon said they were happy to come away with a win like that.
“It was very tight all day and even with two ends remaining,” he said.
“We were able to pick up a couple of shots here or there through the last couple of ends.
“It was always going to be tough at the Dandenong Club which has an indoor dome like us.”
Glennon said Sebastian Pretty put out a strong performance, as did Marc Bullows, Lee Wesley and Emilee Davies.
Club Sunbury sits on top of the table after four rounds, four points clear of Lilydale, while Bundoora RSL 2 is a further six points back.
Club Sunbury face Bundoora this Saturday.
It was a good day for Club Sunbury on Saturday with four of the six teams getting wins.
Meanwhile, Club Sunbury’s Melbourne Extreme will be back in action in the Bowls Premier League this week.
Carla Krizanic, Matthew Flapper and Ali Forsyth again make up the Club Extreme team, as they compete in the competition for a third time.
Melbourne Extreme finished runners-up in the last BPL.
