Rain played havoc with Gippsland Bowls Region weekend pennant, but remarkably some matches were played despite downpours causing flooding to greens
and surrounds.
In the premier division, Metung and Lakes Entrance shared the points after play wasn’t possible at the Metung Bowling Club, Lakes Entrance maintaining its place second on
the ladder.

22-18 victors.
In division two, ladder leader Lakes Entrance 4 outclassed Howitt Park, 59-20.
