The side’s round five fixture on Saturday saw the Steamers dominate Bendigo, handing the ladder-leader its first loss of the season, 18-105 to 0-60.

Moama cleaned out all four rinks by at least six shots each in a brilliant team performance.

Kevin Anderson skipped the largest rink win for Moama, leading his squad of Brock Keenan (lead), Kevin Brennan (second) and David Keenan (third) to a 32-10 victory over Bendigo skip Gary Downie.

Matt Robertson also earned a double-digit win, 32-22, while remaining skips Alex Marshall and Cameron Keenan also picked up points for Moama.

The result rebounds the Steamers from a setback in round four, where they went down by three shots to Marong 16-78 to 2-75.

There are plenty of teams looking like contenders a third of the way through the season, Bendigo (4-1) one game ahead of four 3-2 sides, including Moama.

The Steamers are in second place courtesy of an impressive +96 shot differential.

Moama will next visit Eaglehawk Bowling Club on Saturday for round six action.
