OCEAN GROVE BOLWS
OCEAN Grove’s Premier Division side accepted the challenge of going head to head with the competition leader Lara last week playing at Lara.
In the battle for pole position, the Grovers got off to a shaky start trailing Lara by around 20 shots in the early stages. A short fightback before tea resulted in a six-shot deficit between the two in-form Geelong teams.
With the game going shot for shot, after the break Lara again took the momentum and it wasn’t until near the 75-end mark the Grovers responded.
Rod Swan, Owen Clark, Chris Price and Mick West were playing great bowls to control their Lara opposition while the rinks of Tony Joel and Craig Hodges were starting their fightback in their matches.
It wasn’t until the 85th end the Grovers hit the front and then rallied to the finish line to secure the match points and sit top of the table after eight rounds.
