After a washout last week, the women of the Lower Great Southern Bowling League got to complete a full round of division one pennants on Saturday.

It was a good day for Middleton Beach as their Green and White teams both enjoyed victories with only Red coming a cropper, losing out to Mt Barker Golf.

Green lead the ladder after three rounds, a point ahead of the Mt Barker side, after their second win in an unbeaten start.

They tackled Emu Point Red on Saturday and emerged winners 39-28 after comfortable victories on both rinks.

Beverley Young, Evelyn Gleeson, Roslyn Holdman and Val Bramley won 22-16 in rink one while their teammates Beverly Taylor, Olivia Linden, Ann Hornibrook and Beryl Cooper were 17-12 winners in rink two.

Mt Barker Golf kept up pursuit with a 45-32 win at Middleton Beach Red.

They enjoyed a six-point advantage on rink one and were better by seven on rink two to collect four ladder points.

In the other division one contest, Middleton Beach White were 43-29 winners at Denmark Aqua to leave the home side bottom of the ladder with three losses from their outings.

Albany Gold marched on in defence of the division one men’s flag with a 64-64 win over Denmark.

Gold lost the middle rink 23-18 to Ian Robbins, Doug Sheed, Alan Davis and Ashley Cooper but won on rinks one and three to secure an overall victory.

Level on points and also with victories in the first two rounds are Mt Barker Golf Red who pulled off a stunning one-point win at home to Middleton Beach Gold.

Mt Barker won rink one 18-15 but were losers by 10 points on rink two as Barry Holt, Bert Linden, Leslie Holt and Geoffrey Hornibrook did the business for Middleton Beach 27-17.

However, the 22-14 triumph by Mt Barker on rink three was just enough for them to sneak home.

Green won the battle of Middleton Beach, comfortably getting the better of clubmates Black 83-36 while Emu Point Red made mincemeat of Albany Brown 79-34.

In the ladies division two there were wins for Cranbrook, Albany Green and Emu Point Blue.

In the men’s second division, Mt Barker, Albany Grey, Albany Green and Emu Point Purple enjoyed wins while Mt Barker Golf Blue, Denmark, Frankland and Emu Point Blue were the happy bowlers in division three.
