WANGARATTA became the first side in O&M bowls history to win four consecutive Midweek Pennant titles when it defeated Wodonga at Corowa Civic last Tuesday.

It didn’t take Wangaratta long to adjust to the smaller Corowa greens as they began the better of the two sides and quickly built a double-figure margin past the midway mark of the game.

Wodonga produced a fightback to reduce the margin to just seven shots, however, Wangaratta rallied and broke the game wide open in the closing stages.

Phil Davern, Laurie McDonald, Gary Fenlon and Greg McDonald were always in front in their game posting a 23-18 win, and likewise Chris Randell, Greg Braden, Mark Allan and Leon Quartermain lead from start to finish to win 19-13.

Maurie Braden, Trevor Selwood, Jan Hermassoo and Graeme Smith made it a clean sweep of rinks for Wangaratta after coming from behind to win 24-19.

Wangaratta will now head to Moama Bowls Club to represent the O&M in the State Pennant playoffs on Monday, 28 April and Tuesday, 29 April.

Final scores: Wangaratta 66 shots def Wodonga 50 shots.
