DIVISION 3 – Mount Gambier 101/14 d Mount Gambier RSL Blue 67/2
ANOTHER big win was on the cards for Mount Gambier’s Division 3 side, when it travelled to Mount Gambier RSL to face the Blue team.
Kristy Errock and her team recorded a massive 46 -15 shot win to set up the staggering final margin, while Bob Cranwell’s four was also victorious with a closer 25-20 result.
A tough battle saw Scott Wilson’s rink go down 30-32.
DIVISION 4 RED – Mount Gambier RSL 65/13 d Mount Gambier 62/3
THE only loss for the Mount Gambier Bowls Club in Saturday’s Lower South East Bowling Association Open Pennant competition was in Division 4 Red and by a small margin to Mount Gambier RSL.
Ron Kuhl’s rink won their match-up, while John Kentish’s team fought it out for a draw.
The result could have easily gone either way, with just three shots the difference in the end, but the defeat dealt to Lindsay Moyle’s rink was enough to see the RSL with the honours.
