GVBD | Midweek pennant grand final picture becomes clear

Hill Top claimed victory in division one against Shepparton Park at Tatura Bowls Club by five shots in a nail-biting affair — despite not losing a rink across the contest.

Dianne Downie for the Hillbillies drew 18-all with Parker Bev Cahill, while Lyn Nicholson (24-20) and Jeanette Overall (24-23) helped secure the 66-61 triumph.

Hill Top will face Shepparton Golf in next week's finale, looking to be the first GVBD top tier champion outside of the Golfers and Parkers since Mooroopna's 2011-12 weekend pennant crown.

Golf is searching for its second Edna Harling Shield in a row.

● Shepparton Park was a comfortable victor against Shepparton Golf in division two, taking out the clash 80-57.

Leonie Freeman's 30-18 win at East Shepparton Bowls Club led the way for the victors, with Bev Thorn (24-16) and Pam Henderson (26-23) also managing rink wins.

Euroa awaits the Parkers in the decider after defeating them by five shots last week.

● Seymour tasted success in the division three preliminary final, defeating Mooroopna at Tatura.

The Lions take on Kyabram next week after the Power claimed a 12-shot triumph in the qualifying final.

Seymour's last midweek pennant flag in the GVBD came in division two in 2013-14, while Kyabram has snared one in each of the past three seasons.

● Shepparton Park A had to dig deep in division four against Nagambie at East Shepparton.

Angel Manneken had a huge 30-16 victory for the Lakers, but it paled in comparison to Lyn Oliver's 39-8 triumph for the Parkers.

The final rink of play was a close contest, with Marg Stibbard snaring a 19-18 win for the Parkers to secure a 74-56 success.

Shepparton Golf got the Parkers by two shots last week and will look to do the same again in the decider.

● Katandra West earned a rematch with Dookie in division five after defeating Seymour 59-40 at Tatura yesterday.

Fiona Rourke had a 30-22 victory for the Westerners and was complemented by Maree Ash's 29-18 triumph.
