Bees’ miracle on the greens

Werribee pulled off a miraculous come-from-behind victory in Bowls Victoria’s women’s premier division.

The newly-promoted Bees are desperate to stay in the finals race and with a tough run of matches to come, victory over Yarraville-Footscray in the western derby last Tuesday was a must.

It wasn’t looking good for the Bees, who fell 20 shots down before launching an incredible comeback to claim a nail-biting 58-53 win.

The Bees have opened up a sizeable 22-point gap over fifth-placed Yarraville-Footscray on the ladder but with games to come against a number of finals contenders are far from secure in the finals.

In Saturday pennant, Werribee’s misery in division 1 continued with an 80-63 loss to Melton.

The Bees have fallen into the bottom two of the ladder with a critical game to come on Saturday against bottom-of-the-ladder Moonee Valley.
