Gallery | Pole position in the Edna Harling Shield changes hands as Kyabram profits from Shepparton Park’s blunder
Despite some early morning rain the sun came out during Goulburn Valley Playing Area’s midweek bowls action on Tuesday.
A new leader emerged in division one as Kyabram leapfrogged Shepparton Park thanks to a routine beating of East Shepparton.
The Bombers prevailed 14-63 to 2-48 on East’s greens and most of the damage was done by Joe Greco’s first rink as Kyabram throttled the host by 20 shots in a one-sided set of ends.
Meanwhile, Park ceded its hold at the top as it was downed by a gallant and determined Tallygaroopna contingent.
A thrilling clash was expected — first versus third — and that’s precisely what panned out as the Redlegs held on to a 12-57 to 4-56 triumph.
Park won the first and third rinks, but a 10-shot win in the second by Matt Robertson’s four paved the way for a crackerjack victory for Tallygaroopna.
Around the greens, Euroa etched a surprise three-shot win over Shepparton Golf, while the contest between Seymour and Tatura-Hill Top was scratched.
