It was great to hear the rejoicing and enthusiastic stories resounding around the clubhouse. The firsts won a thriller at home to St Kilda by 3 shots, with Billy Morton leading his four to a stirring 17 shot victory with some amazing bowls. Picking up a 5 and three 4s helped them on their way to winning the drinks for the day. Ray Costolloe Jr’s team picked up a 6 and a 5, and dropped a 7, in their 3 shot win. Importantly, they kept the Edithvale scoreboard ticking over as the match tightened up. Michael Cameron’s crew had a close match all day, and to their credit, only went down by a single shot. John O’Donnell’s four struggled against the highly ranked St Kilda coach, and conceded too many multiples in their 16 shot loss.
