The combined side of Camperdown/Lismore came from behind to notch up its second win for the season.
Well done to Ted, Deb, Jimmy and Donna for a great win 21-12 and to win 13 ends out of 21.
Lyn, Jim, Caroline and Noel had a hard fought game to win 25-18.
Paul, John, Judy and Russell had a very different game.
Rain interrupted their game but, after the break, they won five of the last seven ends to only go down 16-29.
This helped the combined team get over the line for another win.
Next weekend division four will play at home against Cressy 2.
The teams are:
L. Brown (s), J. Barnes, C. Strampel and N. Pemberton.
P. Halloran (s), J. Boyd, P. Robertson and M. McGrath.

Division one played Lorne.
On rink one Luke, Fred, Vicki and Jaydan had control from the start and finished victors 28-13.
On rink two Matthew, Lenny, Kelvin and Maria had a tight game but won 25-19.
Mark, Darren, Brad and Lud played on rink three and won by eight shots, 29-21.
One rink four Ron, Barry, Harry and Geoff didn’t score until the seventh end, but picked up to win 36-18.
This win gave Camperdown four rinks and the maximum points of 18 to keep in touch with the top four.
Camperdown will play Colac 1 under the dome at 3.30pm in pink shirts.
The teams are:
M. Brewer (s), L. Searle, K. Rundle and M. Van Someren.

In division three, Camperdown headed to Colac and fortunately played under the dome.
Two other matches were not played due to the weather.
Camperdown won three rinks out of the four and picked up 16 points, which keeps them in third.
Ron Simcox’s rink led 7-5 on the 10th end, gave the lead away for the next end by one shot, only to get it back and come home winners, 16-12.
Tom Hose’s rink also led all day and took the win, 22-15.
Stan, Paul, Filumena and Ray never let the opposition in front for the entire 21 ends and won 25-10.
Ron Absalom’s rink only scored on one end in the first seven, but picked up on four ends and went down 18-26.
Overall the other rinks had done enough to win.
