Club Sunbury’s good form continued on Saturday with a demolition job of Kingsbury in the Bowls Victoria weekend pennant, division 1, section 1 competition.
While many matches were cancelled due to rain including several at Club Sunbury, Sunbury’s top side was still able to play against Kingsbury at Kingsbury and had a day out.
Sunbury won all four rinks in a 120 (18)-44 (0) win.
Sunbury’s David Glennon said it was a good day out for the side.
“We had one close game which was only four shots, but the other three were double figure wins,” he said. “Lauchlin Davies rink had a massive win and two other rinks also scored in the 30s as well.”
Davies rink won 38-5, Marc Bullows’ rink won 31-15, Mark Armstrong’s rink won 34-11 and Harvey McAlister’s rink won 17-13.
Glennon said that Armstrong was filling in for a couple of weeks while Mark Cowan was unavailable.
Armstrong used to play for Sunbury before moving up to Queensland and had won several club championships.
“His family still lives in Sunbury,” Glennon said. “He’s down for a tournament and is able to play games for us which is really good.”
Glennon said there were a number of standouts in the win led by Emilee and Lauchlin Davies, and Lee Wesley.
The win is Sunbury’s fifth in a row.
With a couple of results falling Sunbury’s way, it now sits in third spot and is just one point behind second.
Glennon said the next couple of weeks before Christmas could really set up their season.
“We play Brunswick this week at home,” he said. “We are sitting 12 points ahead of them and if we win, we’ll be two games ahead.
“Then we have Glenroy which is the team to beat.”
Glennon said overall it had been a good season so far for the club.
The club’s top four sides are all in the top four, while the fifth side is two points outside the top four.
