Kyneton Bowling Club’s incredible run of success in regional events this season continued on Tuesday, with the division 1 midweek Highlands premiers scoring a substantial victory in the Ballarat-Highlands midweek grand final.
The 71-49 victory to Kyneton over Ballarat division midweek champion Victoria ensured the Kyneton club will have two sides playing at Moama in the State titles late next month.
Almost a big holiday away from home, with Kyneton out to test some very strong opposition.
Tuesday’s regional grand final for the division 1 midweek champions was played at Sebastopol, where Kyneton’s division one Saturday premiers beat Victoria 65-62 on Sunday.
The outcome was apparent well before the finish.
Conrad Dawson’s rink won 31-13 against Kevin Coad, Anthony Mathison prevailed 23-11 against Wayne Lynch, and David Kennedy’s four played a role by restricting Murray Gannonto a 25-17 margin. Overall a very comfortable 22 shots margin for Kyneton.
The huge collection of Highlands and BHBR titles this season is an extraordinary feat by the Kyneton club, a success that surely could not have been predicted by even the most ardent of supporters before the season began.
Good luck to Kyneton representing BHBR at Moama against some very elite opposition.
Individually, Kyneton men have also excelled in this season’s Highlands and BHBD events.
Greg Podesta, recruit of the season from Kangaroo Flat, won both the singles and Champ of Champ titles, and combined with Glen Cascoyne and Graham Edwards to win the triples.
Jim Cooper and Jerry Richmond set the ball rolling for Kyneton early, taking out the men’s pairs, and the men’s fours title went to Gascoyne, Terry Kelly, John O’Donnell and Anthony Mathison (s).
It’s been a particularly happy haven at Kyneton Bowling Club’s headquarters this month, with supporters having much to celebrate.
There could also be some newcomers keen to get on the winning bandwagon for next season.
