Strong field for pairs championship
A STRONG field of 40 entries competed in the association pairs championships at Warrnambool indoor bowls recently.
After some hard-fought competition, the winners on the day were Thelma Lackie (skip) and Thelma Amuketi with three wins and 23 shots.
The runners-up were Gill Phillips (skip) and Clarrie Matthews with three wins and 14 shots.
Third place went to Peter Neal (skip) and Ian Lake who finished with three wins and 11 shots.
There is now only one week of pennant left before finals, with the fourth place in each division still in contention.
In division one, Koroit Hornets need to defeat second-placed Allansford Cats to guarantee fourth position, or risk being overtaken by Port Fairy Seagulls, who sit half a game behind and play seventh-placed Allansford Tigers in the last round.
A similar scenario occurs in division three, with fourth-placed Lawn Tennis Green half a game ahead of Allansford Pumas.
Lawn Tennis will play the third-placed Camperdown Magpies, while the Pumas will play top side, Dennington Aces.
In division two, City Slickers hold fourth place on shots up from Koroit Jets, with Dennington Devils and Allansford Leopards both one game behind.
The last round will see City play the Leopards, Koroit play ninth-placed Allansford Cougars, and the Devils will play the tenth-placed Wannon Park Hounds.
