The midweek pennant resumed after two rounds were heat affected. The Seymour VRI team played at Seymour with a poor result for the club, as all clubs failed to post a winning result, going down by 37 shots overall.
With only two games to play prior to the finals, the team is still holding second position on the ladder by a comfortable margin but must win at least one of the two remaining games to hold that position.
Seymour VRI 0-46 lost to Seymour 16-83.
Bill Dawe’s rink, holding a slight lead up to the 20th end, was overtaken by the opposition and was unable to retain the lead again even after winning the last three ends, going down by three.
Joe Purcell’s rink lost five ends after the seventh end, then lost another five ends after the lunch break — 12 shots down at the 19th end and finished 15 down.
Daniel Noonan’s rink was five shots down at the 12th end, and won only two ends for the remainder of the game to go down by 19.

Avenel Bowling Club
The weather gods looked down on Avenel in keeping the temperatures for Tuesday and Saturday below the magic 40°C, enabling pennant to be played.
But the club couldn’t take advantage of the cooler weather conditions or the supposed home advantage on Tuesday, going down to Shepparton Golf in division two.
In division five, however, Avenel was able to defeat Seymour.
On Saturday, division four played Murchison at home and with three teams recording wins and taking 16 competition points from the encounter.
It was no repeat performance on the previous week’s win over Euroa; too little, too late unfortunately. Division seven went to Hill Top. Avenel players were outbowled.
More games continue to be played in the men’s pairs, 100-up and mixed pairs. There were many excellent bowls for the spectators to watch.
Get well wishes to Graham and Trevor. Our condolences are extended to the families of Peter Lynch and Brenda Henderson on the loss of their loved ones.
Ruth and Len had a most unwelcome visitor on Sunday morning; a visitor that required removal by an expert in handling these types of creatures. Everyone was okay, including the visitor. A reminder to be alert and watch where you are going or reaching.
Birthday greetings to Noel, Len and David. Happy anniversary to two of our club sponsors, Linda and Geoff Newton.
