In midweek pennant, Side One played away at Mooroolbark.
With early season ladder positions very close from third to seventh, a win would be an important boost for either side.
Mooroolbark managed to keep ahead and we went down 50-62 (two points).
P. Leonard 11/23; A. James 17/23; L. Thurkle 22/16.
Side Two hosted Lilydale, and with two rinks getting over the line, came away with the win 57-46.
A. Skillern 26/13; T. Dickson 10/20; L. Baker 21/13.
On Saturday, Side One headed to Kingsbury, being another club we have had many a close battle within recent times.
In a close game with many swings and roundabouts throughout the day, Kingsbury maintained a small lead to see Yarra Glen go down 81-88 (four points).
Beau Simmons 23/21; M. Creighton 22/16; Ben Simmons 13/20; M. Gardner 23/31.
Side Two travelled to Upwey-Tecoma, who had recently come down from Division Two.
They were on top of the ladder prior to this round and again showed their strength with Yarra Glen only able to win one rink.
As a side note, Upwey-Tecoma were great hosts, and played the game in great spirit, good etiquette and provided a substantial afternoon tea as well.
Final score 70-94 (2 points). R. Thurkle 17/23; B. Chandler 14/30; B. Grund 21/18; A. Thurkle 18/23.
Side Three had a challenging game at home against Chirnside Park.
Chirnside Park played the more consistent bowls through the day, and we eventually went down 56-72 (two points).
T. Dickson 10/16; D. Skillern 13/18; L. Baker 11/27; A. Skillern 22/11.
