Dominant wins earned in midweek pennant
Round three proved very fruitful for Dunolly Blue, Highland Tartan, Maryborough Golf and Carisbrook, who all recorded potent results on Tuesday.
Dunolly Blue maintained its dominating start to their campaign with an impressive 100-25 victory against Talbot.
The win keeps Dunolly Blue in first with a 3-0 record and a remarkable 215 score difference.
Chris Williams made quick work of Robert Jackson to win 36-8, while Alan Weir defeated Barbara Crossley 36-9 and Tony Galofaro completed Dunolly Blue’s shutout by vanquishing Chris Crossley 28-8.
Highland Tartan were forced to work hard to stay right on Dunolly Blue’s heels on the ladder, but eventually overran a valiant Avoca 76-40.
Tartan’s title defence has opened without a blemish on their record as Gregory Shay was triumphant over Avoca’s Ann Loosmore 24-17, Garry Coburn prevailed 25-14 against Geoff Loosmore and Harvey Pearce overpowered Loralee Field 27-9.
Last season’s runners-up, Mary-borough Golf, have emerged as the leader of the chasing pack to Dunolly Blue and Highland Tartan with a commanding win over Highland Gold 76-29.
Graeme Orr and Francis Smith put Golf in control, with Orr quelling Rhonda Watkins 29-7 and Smith getting the better of Dennis Prosser 30-8.
Tilleke Wadeson fought hard to grab a rink victory for Highland Gold, but Golf’s Kort Gay did just enough to take the contest 17-14.
Following their tough loss to Highland Tartan last week, Carisbrook bounced back with a vengeance by defeating Dunolly Gold 74-51.
After nothing could separate Carisbrook’s Roy Pickering and Dunolly Gold’s Debbie Wintle in an entertaining 21-21 draw, the match came down to the final two rinks.
Patricia Stancombe and Denise Matic secured both rinks for Carisbrook, with Stancombe too good for Wayne Stephens 28-20 and Matic delivering a decisive blow versus Charles Spiteri 25-10.
While this season’s midweek pennant remains in its infancy, round four could potentially be a critical juncture for multiple teams.
In what on paper looks to be the match of the round, Carisbrook attempts to build from Tuesday’s win in a challenging home test against early frontrunners Dunolly Blue.
Dunolly Blue will hope for Dunolly Gold to do them a massive favour by taking some points off their closest rivals in their upcoming clash against Highland Tartan.
Currently boasting a 2-1 record, Maryborough Golf can further affix itself inside the top four when it hosts a quickly improving Avoca.
Talbot and Highland Gold will face off at Talbot with both teams looking to rectify their losses on Tuesday.
