The composite team of Pam Lewis, Pam and Stan Limbrick, and Jayde Leech came away with five out of five wins to claim the event.
Sixty-two teams competed in the Ladies’ Pairs event the next day, but by the end it was Judy Eastwell (Moama) and Helen Clough (Bendigo East) standing tall.
Tuesday’s Men’s Pairs saw Moama’s John Worledge claim the $2500 prize alongside Sunbury’s Mark Cowan ahead of 92 other teams, with Echuca Bowls Club pitching in to help host the mammoth entry list.
At the time of writing, players were in the thick of Thursday’s Mixed Pairs play, while today’s competition will consist of the Bob Gilmour Mixed Triples before heading into the showpiece event of the carnival — the $16,000 George Lynch Fours.
- Tongala’s Harley Reid looks set to miss Bendigo’s Talent League return after sustaining a concussion in the AFL Academy hit-out against Carlton VFL last weekend.
The 18-year-old missed the majority of the second half after copping an accidental knee to the head early in the third quarter, ruled out for the minimum two weeks due to concussion protocols.
The AFL Academy were four-point winners over the Blues.
The fourth-placed Pioneers tackle Geelong Falcons (fifth) in the first Talent League game in a month with Bendigo riding a three-game winning streak, poised to resume under the captaincy of Echuca’s Hugh Byrne, who took the reigns last round in Reid’s absence.
