Inglewood tests Bendigo East in midweek bowls battle

The top-of-the-table Beasties scraped home by six shots against a gallant Inglewood squad.

Fifth-placed Eaglehawk closed the gap on the top four by scoring a crucial 26-shot win over fourth-placed Kangaroo Flat.

Jan Conder's impressive 29-11 win over Susan Howes set up the Borough's victory.

Golden Square and Bendigo consolidated second and third spots on the ladder by scoring comfortable wins over Castlemaine and Woodbury respectively.
