Tuesday pennant finals kicked off this week.
In division one, City Gold claimed a spot in the grand final with a second semi-final victory against Koroit Orange.
It will play the winner of next week’s preliminary final between Koroit Orange and Warrnambool Gold.
In division two, Dennington Red booked a place in the grand final.
It will play the winner of next week’s preliminary final between City Blue and Warrnambool Blue.
Both matches will be played at Port Fairy Bowls Club.
In last week’s penultimate round of Saturday pennant, Warrnambool Blue’s nail-biting draw against fourth-placed Timboon Gold put it out of finals contention.
Terang Green overcame its hoodoo with an away victory against Mortlake Blue.
Meanwhile, Port Fairy showed some grit in claiming a rink win and a drawn rink against City Red.
In the match of the round, first-place Warrnambool Gold performed a four-rink clean sweep against second-placed Koroit Blue.
This week marks the final round of the home and away season.
The match of the round will be the encounter between host side Timboon Gold and City Gold.
With only six points separating the two sides, the victor will progress to next week’s finals series.
Only one point separates second-placed City Red and Koroit Blue in third.
City Red will host top-placed Warrnambool Gold, while Koroit Blue will travel to Warrnambool to take on the Blues.
As this week marks the final week of pennant action, it is also sadly the last edition of Bias on Bowls for the current season.
Good luck to all teams which are contesting finals.
