Weekly round up, 6/2/2016

With three rounds to go in the 2015-2016 season, the club returned a mix bag of results across the divisions.

Premier League hosted City of Geelong with the final score of Lara 84, defeated by COG 96. Only 12 shots separated the sides at the end of play on what was a hot Summer afternoon of bowls. 

John O'Donnell's rink was the only rink to get up for 2 points with Paul Cook leading, Don Grellett as second and side manager Mick Kelly as third.

The boys have the task to get up for a big win against the Avenue next Saturday, all the best!

Unfortunately our Division 1 side lost heavily to Belmont at their ground, none of the rinks got up but well done to all the players as they are facing stiff opposition week in and week out against the top sides of other clubs; Lara being the only number 2 side in the whole division.

Division 3 is on fire! Sitting at the top of the table, the team had a significant 37 shot victory against City of Geelong away from home.The young Polwarth brothers, Ian and Robert lead their rink to a 16 point win, with the assistance of Annette Harris as lead and Don Plozza as second. Another 16 point win was recorded by Skip Robert Grosset's side. Well played Division 3.

Division 4 faced Highton at home and went down by 18 shots, there was dissapointment felt by all as we beat them on their home turf earlier in the season and felt that this was a victory to be had. Highton was too good on the day, two rinks did get up so 4 points was had, well skipped wins by Drew Hamence and Greg Woodhouse. A must win game next week for Division 4 away to Barwon Heads.

Division 6 were away to Belmont and came out in front with a big 32 shot win! K.Richardsons rink with Bob Dick, Kerry Howe and Bernie Harris came up with a 30 shot rink win and the division is sitting in the middle of the table with a good shot of making the finals this year.

Division 9 played at home and hosted Bareena and came up with a massive 49 shot win, with only 2 rinks in the Division, this was a massive effort and the team of Charlie Mallia, Mick Cook, Jennifer Verhoef and Sue Wilson won the drinks on the day with a 49-11 rink win, well done to you all!

And Division 10 came up trumps with a 7 shot win over Torquay away from home, a great result for the players.
