The end result saw the Bay win on all three rinks and secure the premiership points for the round.
Marcus Pietersma’s rink scored 29 to the David Babb team’s 18, and after the Mount Gambier team had the lead by six shots on the 17th end, Port MacDonnell won the remaining eight ends to claim victory.
Adam Wilson skippered his side to a 24-18 win over Jeff England’s four after being level at 14 on the 18th end.
The hosts then won all but one of the remaining ends to secure the win.
A close match was had by Chris Richards as his team faced Ian Von Stanke, with only a few shots separating the sides for most of the match.
But the home team took the win and hence the overall honours as Richards’ four won 22-17.
Division 2
Millicent 85/12 d Port MacDonnell 72/4
DIVISION 2 played at Millicent where, despite winning on two rinks, the hosts’ 46-10 triumph over Reg Fisher and his team saw Millicent take out the win.
Fisher and his rinks won only six of the 25 ends against Steve Carnellor’s side.
Ron Cox’s team played against Phil Dowdell’s side with scores level on the eighth end at nine-all.
However, the Port MacDonnell four was able to draw away with some multiples to finish 36-15.
The Kel Butler led rink had a tight game, with scores level on multiple occasions including the second to last end, but the Bay team scored a two on the final end and took home a 26-24 win.
Division 3
Kingston 80/12 d Port MacDonnell 77/4
Port MacDonnell’s Division 3 hosted Kingston for an overall loss on Saturday.
Lance Fisher’s four had the upper hand on its rink from the eighth end and led all the way to a 32-22 victory.
The second rink saw a fairly even game until the 13th end, where Kingston started to score on the majority of ends and took the win 30-16.
This loss did all the damage to Port Maconnell, as Kevin Norman’s one-shot win was not enough to bring the overall score back to the Bay’s favour.
