BRIDGEWATER’S Monday pennant side is finding some winning ways in this season’s Bendigo playing area competition.
Last week against Golden Square, it was an 18-shot victory.
The side is starting to play with some purpose which is great to see.
On Saturday, the Division 5 side travelled to Strathfieldsaye to take on the top side and ended up going down three rinks to one.
The most pleasing thing for the day is that all rinks  took it  up to the top side, with Curtis Mangan’s rink trailing by 11 shots to come back and win once again.  Lachlan Catto, Vern Wilson and Ray Broadbent gave good support.The Goldfields side played at home to Maryborough Golf and was out classed by a better side on the day. Once again new bowlers are showing signs of improvement with game time. 
The club’s open fours tournament will be held on Sunday.
INGLEWOOD
In Monday pennant, the Division 5 is in the upper echelon.
Their strong form continues. It’s a credit to some of the men to play here to keep this team alive as there are four special ladies in this team that love their bowls, the competition and friendships it provides. 
Last week’s result was Inglewood 51 shots (14pts) defeated Golden Square 31 shots (0pts).
The best rink on the day was the team of Edna Patterson, Phyliss McEwan, Ian Bradley and David Whitehead (skip) with a 17 shot win.
Division 1 still haven’t had a win and are currently sitting last on the ladder. 
Final scores last week were Inglewood 47 shots (2pts) lost to White Hills 60 shots (14pts)
Best rink on the day was the team of Simon Laird, Chris McEwan, Lindsay Kelly and Laurie Witham (skip) with a 5 shot win.
In weekend pennant, Division 5 bounced back with a strong performance against Woodbury and sits fourth on the ladder. 
It is good, for the club, to see this team being so competitive.
The best rink on the day was the team of David Shay, Blake Smyth, John McClymont and Helen Leach (skip) with a 22 shot win.
And in Division 1, the Woodies found some form with a strong win over Golden Square and can now look forward to Saturday’s game against Castlemaine at home.  
A lot of good bowls were played by the Inglewood players which is encouraging to see. Best result for the day came from the team of Daniel Garrett, Arthur Harrison, Bruce McClymont and Geoff Wilson (skip) with a huge 27 shot win.
SERPENTINE
Harcourt was full of good hospitality but the result was not all apples.  Serpentine went down three rinks to one with Rick Hasty and team winning on the last end. 
Young Lachie James is showing good form leading the way for his elders. Not to be discouraged. it’s back on home territory this week against Strathfieldsaye.  The spirits are still high and a win is closer.
