The spectacle of midweek pennant bowls is back with Tuesday welcoming a barn-burning return of division one Edna Harding Shield action to the region.
Powerhouse Shepparton Golf kicked off October with a 16-81 to 0-36 dismantling of East Shepparton to etch its name on the winners’ list.
Carla Miles orchestrated a 30-7 thrashing of Warren Miles’ quartet in the first rink, with John Stokes and Kris Wright following suit to record respective 29-15 and 22-14 triumphs in the following play.
If Golf’s win was big Shepparton Park’s victory over Rushworth was equally ― if not more ― impressive.
Park hit its straps from the get-go, powering to maximum points following a 16-99 to 0-48 result.
