Grovers hold sway at the top

Ocean Grove has moved into top spot on the Geelong Bowls Region Saturday Pennant ladder.

Both Ocean Grove sides won on the weekend with the Number 1 side enjoying a big win against Bareena.

The Grovers won two rinks and the other was tied with Peter Loe’s rink winning by 17.

Ocean Grove 2 defeated Lara and won its second game of the season.

The 18-shot win was set up by Rick Webb and Alan Drury while Luke Benson and Michael Kelly played out a tie.

Eastern Park is level with Ocean Grove 1 at the top of the ladder with only percentage separating the two sides.

Eastern Park had to settle for a draw against Queenscliff with the rinks being unfit for play.

Drysdale won a thriller against Highton by three shots.

It was Highton’s first loss of the season while Drysdale moved into the top five.

City of Geelong finally got onto the winner’s list with a win against Bell Post Hill.

Zane Lugg led his rink to a nine-shot win with only 10 shots separating the two sides at the end of play.

Tomorrow’s match of the round looks set to be fought out at Queenscliff with the home side taking on Ocean Grove 1.

Queenscliff sit third on the table while the Grovers are on top.

In other games, Bareena hosts Ocean Grove 2, Highton travels to Lara, Eastern Park hosts Bell Post Hill and City of Geelong makes the trip to Drysdale.
