Werribee Bowls Club has experienced a rollercoaster weekend of home games in Bowls Victoria division 1.
The Bees began with a high at Chirnside Park on Saturday, eclipsing Essendon 83-74.
The addition of new skip Colin Thompson was telling with his rink finishing 15 up.
But then Werribee was left deflated on Sunday after a crushing 91-57 defeat to Melbourne.
At least Thompson’s good form continued with his rink the only winner after finishing plus-four.
Werribee has dropped to ninth on the ladder with a crucial game against Flemington Kensington on the road this Saturday.
In division 2, Hoppers also had an up-and-down weekend.
Hoppers started with a bang on Saturday, mowing over Rosamond 89-71 away.
Unfortunately for Hoppers, the good times ended there. It was hammered 104-62 by title contender Altona Sports away on Sunday.
Hoppers, desperate to improve on its 4-6 record, will return home to face top side Deer Park on Saturday.
