Premier Bowls: Bundoora RSL shows just who is boss

By Star Weekly

Bundoora RSL flexed its muscles as a Saturday pennant contender by beating reigning premier Moonee Ponds 14-75 to 4-71.

The win keeps Bundoora RSL (80 points) close to ladder leader Brighton (83) while opening a gap to third-placed Moonee Ponds and fourth-placed Essendon (both 68).

Rinks were split two each on Saturday, but Nick McIntyre’s 22-12 win against Brett Spurr proved the decisive score.

Damon Di Florio beat Shane Fordham 20-18, while Moonee Ponds’ Mark Jacobsen won 22-15 against Luke Aiello, and Adam Galloway won 19-18 against Ian Ewing.

In division 2, section 2,
Broadmeadows was a narrow loser, 14-79 to 4-74, against Sunbury. The loss failed to dislodge Broadmeadows from top spot on the ladder, though, as its 81 points lead West Coburg (69) with Sunbury third (65).

In division 2, section 3, Craigieburn 16-96 comfortably beat Darebin City 2-63. Craigieburn (49 points) sits fifth, still 11 off the finals pace of Montmorency-2 (62).
