Sunbury is back among the winners in Bowls Victoria Pennant, division 1, section 1.
After a rare loss the week before, Sunbury was pushed all the way by Werribee on Saturday, one of the division’s bottom sides.
The teams split the rinks two apiece, but Sunbury came away with an 84 (14)-
77 (4) win.
Mark Cowan’s rink was the big winner for Sunbury, dominating with a 31-10 win, while Todd Trewarne’s rink won 22-17. Carla Krizanic’s rink lost 22-15 and Lee Wesley’s rink lost 28-16.
Sunbury’s David Glennon said it was good to get back on the winners’ list.
“It was always going to be difficult heading out to Werribee on their synthetic green,” he said. “They are fighting relegation as well. Any win out there would have been good.”
Glennon said Paul Long, who played in Mark Cowan’s rink, was the standout in the win.
The result doesn’t change Sunbury’s position on the ladder – it secured a top two spot weeks ago.
It does, though, all but end Sunbury’s chances of claiming the minor premiership. Sunbury is 17 points behind ladder leader Moonee Valley heading into the final round.
For a second straight week, Sunbury will face a side trying to avoid relegation, this time it’s Melton.
Sunbury’s second side will also have a home semi-final, though its fifth side will be relegated.
Sunbury’s Krizanic and Lisa Trewarne are through to finals of the Northern Gateway Ladies pairs.
