Third title for triples champions
FOR the third consecutive year, Warrnambool’s Anne Draffen (s), Barb Draffen and Jacinta Marney have been crowned indoor bias bowls state triples champions.
The trio defeated Heytesbury’s Pam Wines (s), Lara Mungean and Kathryn Wines in the final, held in Melbourne last Sunday.
Warrnambool’s winter pennant is now nearing the end of the season, with only two games to go before finals.
In division one, George Draffen’s Allansford Cats and Ian Swain’s Allansford Lions have the top two spots secured, while the Allen Armistead-skipped Wannon Park Dogs are guaranteed a spot in the first semi-final.
Fourth spot is still up for grabs, with the incumbent Koroit Hornets only half a game ahead of Port Fairy Seagulls and Dennington Hi-Fives.
In division two, Grangeburn, Allansford Panthers and Dennington Dashers are all vying for the double chance but are guaranteed to play finals.
Fourth spot is a race between City Slickers, Koroit Jets and Allansford Leopards.
Division three sees Koroit Choppers and Dennington Aces secure in the top two spots, but third and fourth spots are still available, with every team still mathematically a chance to play finals.
