BLTC Shish crushed Spring Gully Brougham Arms 10 sets to two in a rematch of last year’s grand finalists.
Shish continue to be the team to beat, with Curt Garwood, Al Baker, Nick Bath and Jayden Blencowe dominant against the severely undermanned Brougham Arms men.
The big loss puts Brougham Arms under more pressure from fifth-placed Spring Gully Bigpond, which is now just seven points out of the top four.
Spring Gully Butterflies dominated South Bendigo Metro on its way to a 10 sets to two win.

Metro continues to search for its first win in season 2012-13 but remain competitive.
BLTC Rising Sun defeated Spring Gully Bigpond eight sets to four.
The Rising Sun women did the damage, with Rebecca Tweed and Tova Penno accounting for Heather Robbins and Lani Hamilton.
