It promised to be a big week for Shepparton Golf in the Goulburn Valley Playing Area, and it has delivered so far.

Golf, chasing a potential trifecta of top titles between midweek and weekend bowls, has etched its name on the first of three possible records by outlasting Seymour 14-79 to 2-61 in the Edna Harling Shield decider.

The 18-shot win continues to fulfil the sense of merriment that has gripped Golf, which also has a double-header against Tallygaroopna waiting on Saturday to contest the grand finals of both top divisions within the GVPA's weekend leagues.

Carla Miles' quartet outmuscled its foes 30-17 in the first rink, while Robert Brown's group flew the Seymour flag high with a big 28-13 win over Kris Wright's rink.

Golf's John Stokes-led team made a massive difference in the end with a thumping 36-16 victory in the other rink to put the result well beyond doubt.
