Ideal conditions greeted bowlers for the weekly game of scrounge on Wednesday.
The field of 20 bowlers minus one displayed some extraordinary bowling with several high scores recorded.
On rink one, Greg Clymo (City of Echuca) scored 40 points for a win ahead of Phillip Cunnington.
Rink two belonged to Jim "Jimbo" Harris amassing a brilliant 49 points for a win over Gail Kerr.
Owen "Smiley" McPhee gave an impressive display with his "Carlton" trademark bowls to score 54 points and win rink three with daylight second.
On rink four, club president Russell Shawcross went back-to-back wins after scoring 44 points and head off a emerging Don Smith.
On the final rink, club champion Ray Hanson was in near peak form to register a mammoth 65 points while Graham Turner managed a moderate 55 points for second place.
The game of scrounge will continue on a Wednesday (weather permitting) with starting time 1.00pm.
A field of 20 players is the maximum.
The club is celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the 1990 Premiership victory in the B grade pennant competition.
