Kyneton Bowling Club’s pennant dominance this season continued last week when the Highlands midweek finals were played.
Buoyed by Saturday division 1 and 3 pennants already, Kyneton swept to victory in Tuesday (midweek) finals for divisions 1 and 2.
The winning margins were very large, despite the best efforts of the opposition in the finals played at Lancefield.
In division 1, Kyneton secured an emphatic 95-50 victory over Kilmore, before the division 2 side downed Broadford 85-47, reversing the second semi-final result.
In the top division, the ever-reliable skipper Greg Podesta and his team secured a 40-12 margin over Luke Spargo, Anthony Mathison’s rink combined well for a 32-16 result against Steve McNamara, and Conrad Dawson and co. held off Daniel Noonan by a shot.
In division 2, Kyneton skip Mick Bermingham steered his four to a 23-20 victory, and Mick Plowman’s four had a 32-10 margin.
Kisha Monleon, Paul Plowman, Ron Ackroyd and skip David Kennedy won 30-17, with their effort highlighted by an ‘8’ on one end.
After match celebrations continued back at Kyneton Bowls Club, topping off a wonderful season for Kyneton across Saturday and midweek competitions.
Many thanks went to club sponsors TJ Scott and Son, Macedon Ranges Family Law, Sizzlin’ Sensations, Mawsons, and the bowling club’s board of management.
The division 3 midweek final played at Woodend was a good contest, with Diggers Rest managing to eclipse Kyneton Golf 43-38.
