In division two, the unbeaten Lakes Entrance 2 went on their winning way, winning the local derby at the Orbost Bowls
Club, 65-51.
David Hocking, Jacinta Wilson, Peter Spark and Samuel Berlingeri were again easy winners again, 22-17, as were Michael Bratt, Carol Hurren, John Hurren and Peter Alves-Veira. (25-14).
Lakes Entrance 3 dropped from third to fifth after losing to Paynesville, 58-49, despite winning two of the three rinks.
Julie Rowe, Robert Wilson, William Gilbert and Peter Howie again successful 18-16, as were Dawn Irwin, Joseph Hales, Charles Lesiw and Greg Bertram (19-17).
Unbeaten division three outfit, Lakes Entrance 4 continued their golden run, this time at the expense of the winless Lakes Entrance 5, clean sweeping 55-32.
