Hot conditions for bowls
HOT and windy conditions greeted bowlers for round seven of the Corangamite Bowls division one Saturday pennant.
Camperdown’s division one side travelled to Colac to take on the cellar dwellers, Colac Central, who were yet to win a game this season.
Camperdown came away disappointed after winning three of the four rinks but losing by 22 shots to an in-form Colac Central skipper, Ian Johnson, and his team-mates on one rink.
The best performing rink for Camperdown was Matthew Brewer, Len Searle, Ray Bourke and Henry Henderson.
They played the rink of Ron Chapman.
With a halfway score of 13-9 they were in control for the best part of the game, winning 24-15.
The rink of Darren Coverdale, Barry Atchison, Lud Gungl and Maria Van Someren also had a good tussle against Gavin Finn’s rink and won 23-19.
The rink of Ron Cameron, Fred Salon, Kel Rundle and Brad Wilson had a close game against the rink of Brian Finn and team.
With the scores level five times during the match, the Cameron rink snared a six near the close of the match to put them in front and then hung on to prevail, 27-24.
Luke Wright, Darren Page, Vicki Brebner and Harry Van Someren came up against in-form skipper Ian Johnson and found it had to make inroads, going down to the Central rink 13-35.
The Colac Central club won overall, 93-87.

Although winning two of the four rinks they were against a team that left nothing in the tank, defeated by 18 shots.
