David Minns and co proved to be far too strong for Mitch Billing, running away with a 42 to 11 victory. Brett Avent was solid in the leads position all day, and David Minns played the big bowls when required.

Andrew Whitmore found some form, defeating Adam Donohue by 23 with Wayne Ogden’s fortunes changing after half-time.

Tim Douce fought out a tight game against Chris Walker, prevailing by three shots, with the game going down to the last bowl.

Tyler Haas was the best on this rink, bowling very consistently in the leads position for Bridport.

Beauty Point snuck away with the majority of the points at Kings Meadows, thanks in large part to a 10-shot win by Mick Savage.

Adrian Brown also contributed to the overall victory, winning 24-21 against Chris Davern while Shane Davern was the only winner on the day for Kings Meadows, prevailing by 11 shots over Bruce Howard.

Cosgrove Park provided the upset of the round, defeating Trevallyn by seven shots.

All went to plan for the two Joshs, with Appleyard and Walker-Davis both prevailing by three shots, respectively. Although, the difference in the game arose from a strong rink performance by John Seaton. His rink was able to overcome Roger Long by 13 shots to ensure Cosgrove Park came away with the bulk of the points.

Invermay bounced back from last week’s agonising defeat with a seven-shot, 10-2 win on the ever-dangerous Scottsdale synthetic.

The game was tight all day and only two shots separated sides at 60 ends. Bec Van Asch’s rink were 19-all at the time, and won 29-22 to give the Swampie’s enough shots to seal the win.

Gene Ayton’s rink again dominated the day and had a convincing 21-13 win.

Scottsdale won on Barry Dennis’ rink by eight after a very tight game of ones thanks to a big six on the 21st end.

East and Longford faced off on slick greens in one for the ages. The lead see-sawed throughout the day with East holding a single-figure lead late in the game and seemingly in control.

But it was Longford who played some telling bowls in the closing stages to hold a seven-shot overall lead with two ends to go with only the Rowdy McMullen rink the last on the green.

In an incredible turn of events the East boys got a six on the second-last end to be one behind playing the last end overall.

But Longford again had the answers, scoring a one on the last end and winning by two overall
