There was no CVBD weekend pennant due to the Australia Day celebration.

Phillip Cunnington won rink two after posting 52 points to finish ahead of Russell Shawcross on 41 points.
In the club competitions, the 21 Up Presidents trophy is nearing semi-final stage.
Kalvin Stout accounted for Owen McPhee, Brian Kinnane beat David Blackburn in a close affair while Ian Johnson moved into the next round after his opponent Bill Musgrove had to retire due to illness.
The 100 Up competition is running smoothly with Tom Davis edging out David Blackburn, Andrew Harris out-bowling Neil Haines, while Ian Johnson was too consistent and defeated a gallant Dave Thomas.
Phillip Cunnington squared the ledger with Owen McPhee for a win after McPhee accounted for Cunnington in the 21 Up championship round.
The Lockington Bowls Club was saddened to learn of the passing of Ron Main on Friday.
Ron Main was a staunch supporter of the club and enjoyed playing pennant and the Sixty and Over competition as well as attending several working-bees over the years.
Sincere condolences to the Main family.
There was a handy gathering assembled for the Friday evening barbeque and practice session.
The winner of the lucky members draw was Mary Thomas.
The club is gearing up for the Annual Cunnington Cup Mixed Pairs on Sunday starting at 1.00pm.
