Bundoora is on a roll in the Bowls Victoria weekend premier pennant competition.
Bundoora has won back-to-back matches in the competition after defeating Clayton on Saturday afternoon at the Clayton Bowls Club.
The club won three of the four rinks, to claim an overall victory, 85 (16)-56 (2).
Dean O’Neill’s rink won 20-11, Benjamin Winther’s rink had a 29-10 win, while Josh Corless’s rink won 23-13. However, Corey Wedlock’s rink lost 22-13.
Corless said it was good to get away with three of the four rinks.
“It was good, they’ve been doing pretty well up until yesterday so we were happy to get away with any win but then to sort of get up by as much as we did was a very good effort,” he said.
“Across the day Dean O’Neill played pretty well, Graham Guy played good and Damon Di Florio played really well as well.”
With two games won in a row and just two more to be played before the Christmas break against Altona and then Melbourne, Corless said he is hoping there is more good bowls to be played from his team
Altona currently has two wins, three losses and two draws from its first seven games while Melbourne are 4-2-1.
“To get two in a row now with a couple of games to go before Christmas, if we can hopefully keep that winning form up it’ll see us sitting fairly pretty going into the Christmas break,” he said.
“Fingers crossed we can get into the top four before the break, that would be fantastic but at the end of the day as long as we keep sort of winning even if results don’t go our way we don’t see ourselves in there just yet that’s ok as long we just keep up the winning momentum.
“They are two very good sides that have been good for a few years now so they’ll be tough games.
“But if we can continue on our good form, then we will give ourselves a chance to win in both of those games, it’s nothing that we can’t do but it will be tough that’s for sure.”
Bundoora are back at home this week where it will face Altona.
Altona’s game on the weekend against Deer Park went unplayed due to the rain.
In the premier reserves competition, Whittlesea beat Dandenong Club, 76 (16)-74 (2).
Jordan Yates’ rink was the big winner for Whittlesea.
Whittlesea sits in third midway through the season.
