Phillip Island Blue wins the Pennant
Phillip Island Blue 14-78 defeated Inverloch 2-61 to win the Division One Pennant final, the premier title on the bowling calendar.
Leongatha hosted the Pennant finals for 2016 on a day as close to perfect as you could hope for last Saturday.
Division Two was won by Inverloch 12-68 defeating San Remo 4-65.
Division Three was won by Wonthaggi Blue 16-83 defeating Foster 0-16.
Division Four was a derby win to Inverloch White which had the day’s biggest win 16-98 to 0-49 over Inverloch Blue.
Division Five was won by Corinella 14-81 defeating Phillip Island 2-70.
Saturday, February 27 saw the SGBD men’s pennant grand finals held at the Leongatha bowls venue and the weather was in favour of the bowlers and spectators, with some 500 plus in attendance.
Division 1 grand final saw Phillip Island up against Inverloch with most of the game nip and tuck, but the Penguins managed to take the title, winning 76 shots to 61.
Division 2 saw San Remo against Inverloch, again tight all day, but Inverloch just had that extra when needed and so took the title, defeating San Remo 68 shots to 55.
Division 3 saw Foster up against Wonthaggi but was buried by the Miners, Wonthaggi winning 83 shots to 61.
Division 4 saw two Inverloch teams against each other with Inverloch Blue against Inverloch White. Inverloch White gave the Blues a lesson in bowling, winning the 98 to 49 shots.
Division 5 saw Phillip Island against Corinella and again another hard fought game, with Corinella defeating the Island 81 to 70 shots.
Congratulations to both the winners and runners-up in what was a great day’s bowling with very strong spectator support for all teams.
