Anderson, bowling with world champion Scottish superstar Alex Marshall, also had Liam Fleming, Stuart Whyte and John Worledge in support.
They were one of two teams to win five of their six matches on the opening day.
And they were one of only two teams to win 10 of the 12 matches for the two-day event, separated only by shots to finish runners-up to a team led by Mathoura’s Dennis McHarry.
McHarry, bowling with decorated Tallygaroopna bowler Matt Robertson, Bendigo’s Brad Marron, Whittlesea star Ben Winther and Deniliquin’s Mark Quor, were separated by only four shots total in their two losing matches.
McHarry, originally from Shepparton Golf, played alongside Robertson when the decorated bowler was coaching the club in the GV competition.
Robertson, who is attempting to break the six successive titles record of his former club Shepparton Golf, said the team was only put together at the last minute when Barry Ansett was unavailable.
Only a week earlier Robertson, McHarry and Ansett had won the inaugural triples tournament at Kangaroo Flat.
Marron, who lives in Bendigo and plays with MCC in Melbourne Premier League, is a former Bendigo East player and won the Australian pairs title last year with Leigh Schroder.
Schroder will play with Tweed Heads in the BPL at Moama next week.
Winther plays for Whittlesea in Melbourne Premier League and is a member of the Victorian squad, along with being a fly-in player for Mount Lewis in Sydney Premier League.
Mark Quor, from Deniliquin, plays at Mathoura alongside McHarry.
Both the Mathoura and Moama teams won 10 of a possible 12 games, with Mathoura 28 shots better on the final count
World champion Marshall bowled as lead to Liam Fleming on Wednesday, the Moama Bowling Club chief financial officer cast in the skip’s role, for a 10-shot win in the opening pairs and then it was Worledge, Anderson and Whyte that took a 10-shot win.
Fleming was a two-shot winnner in the singles, then sat out as Worledge skipped a four-shot win in the fours. Marshall skipped a 15-shot triples win for he, Anderson and Fleming, but it was a heavy loss by Worledge and Whyte that upset the team’s unbeaten status.
Merv Harvey from Rochester, bowling with Laurie Campbell, Tony Hawley, Peter Holzer and Richard Feuk, won five and drew one of their six matches on day one.
Feuk won the singles after Campbell and Hawley, skipping, were 20-shot pairs winners.
Holzer, Harvey and Feuk won the opening triples by 14, then Feuk sat on the sidelines as his teammates won the fours by six shots.
The Rochester-dominated team won the pairs, but drew the triples to finish the day. The team won just one-and-a-half games on day two.
Only one team remained undefeated at the halfway point of the tournament — the eventual winner.
A Fitzroy Doncaster team, again dominated by Scottish players, finished the opening day as the only other five-match winner. That team was outright fourth, with seven-and-a-half wins, behind the third-ranked team led by Cohuna's Mick Carmody.
Gary Radford, president of Rich River Club, walked away with the triples title from the two days, while another Rich River star, Stan Walker, won the fours’ honour. Chris Philpot, from Tocumwal, had the best result from singles play.
