Sunbury’s incredible bowls season has continued, with the women’s team earning promotion to the premier division of Bowls Victoria’s midweek competition.
The team finished second on the division 1 ladder and needed to beat Waverley Golf to earn promotion.
And it did just that, winning two of the three rinks to take the match 62-53.
Sunbury’s Dave Glennon said it was good to see the women’s side back in the top division.
“It caps off a really good year for the club,” he said.
“They got relegated two or three seasons ago and have been working hard since then to get back up.”
With promotion already secured, Sunbury played Edithvale (also promoted to premier division) for the division 1 premiership.
It ended in another win for Sunbury, which controlled the match almost from the start.
Sunbury led 16-10 after 15 ends and had extended that to 30-14 after 24 ends. It continued to put on the pressure and led 50-17 after 34 ends, before winning 74-46.
The women’s win came after the club’s Saturday division 2, section 2 pennant side won its division to earn promotion to division 1.
