Due to the forecast high temperature on Saturday, the Deniliquin Bowling Club’s Weekend Pennant matches were moved to a morning start time.
Most were completed by midday.
Division 1 ventured to Mathoura where the home team claimed victory, 68 shots to 63.
Mark Quor’s rink was seemingly in control when leading 16-6 after nine ends, but Mathoura rallied from there to run out winners, 25 shots to 20.
Similarly, Jamie Shields and his team were up 16-5 after 10 ends, and managed to go on and win by six shots, 21-15.
To suggest Shane Laing’s side was slow off the mark is quite an understatement as they found themselves down 4-18 after only eight ends.
They slowly got back into the game, but the gap was too great as they eventually succumbed 22 shots to 28.
