Werribee continued its solid start to the Bowls Victoria weekend pennant, division 2, section 1 season with a convincing win against Buckley Park on Saturday.
The Bees were at home against Buckley Park and had no issues on the way to an 84 (18)-55 (0) win.
Ian Milledge’s rink won by 11 shots, 23-12, while Darren Hooper’s and Rob Panton’s rinks both had eight shot wins.
Gavin Joyce rounded out a good day for the team, with his rink winning 19-17.
Bees director Joyce said it was a really good result for them.
“It was a great result to win all four rinks for the club, and positions the club to enter into the pre-Christmas rounds with some momentum,” he said.
“After some inclement weather last weekend, and a disappointing loss away the week before, to get an all rink winning for the club was a reward for the effort being put in by the players both during the week and on matchday.
“We have had a number of home games at the start of the season, where we have been able to secure strong wins.”
Joyce said being able to win at home consistently is important, ultimately for positioning the side well on the ladder.
The Bees currently sit third on the ladder with a 2-1-1 record.
The side now enters a period of away matches.
“Given availability, our team has had some changes from week to week, so to see all players step up when asked is very pleasing,“ Joyce said.
“Next Saturday Werribee play top of the ladder Essendon at Essendon, and the team are looking forward to the challenge at their venue, to continue their good start.”
Meanwhile in division 3, section 1, Hoppers continued its unbeaten start to the season as it accounted for Melton 2, 80 (13)-69 (5).
Andrew Doyle’s rink was the winning one for Hoppers, winning 25-12.
Hoppers sits second with three wins and a draw from a washout.
