With one round of regular season matches to play, Victoria, Buninyong, Sebastopol Gold, Midlands Golf and Creswick have already locked away their place in the knockout section of the competition.

Buninyong remains the only unbeaten side in the league after the quartet of Bill Jolly, Bob Jenkins, David Draffin and Mick Storey cruised to a straight-sets triumph over the Ballan Blue team of Ron Kelly, Steven Tingate, Alan Gathercole and Paul McNaughton.

Meanwhile, Len Robinson, Kevin Clohesy, Robert Briggs and Geoff Pickering carried Smeaton White to its first win of the campaign, beating Learmonth Blue’s Craig Findlay, Adam McCormack, David Kelly and Paul Morris in a tie-break.

The final round of matches will get underway at Sebastopol Bowling Club next Thursday night.
