The middle-of-the-table visiting side toppled the Ballarat District Bowls Division midweek pennant ladder-leaders by 18 shots on their home turf.

Central Wendouree won just one of the three rink battles on the day, but Lyn Maple and her quartet’s big 32-12 triumph was enough to carry the team to an overall 69-51 success.

That result has allowed Midlands Golf – second at the start of round four – to leapfrog City Oval at the summit of the division one ladder.

Midlands Golf recorded its third win of the 2016-17 campaign with a comfortable 25-shot victory at Daylesford.

The visitors landed two rink wins to finish the day as 85-60 victors.

Webbcona remains without a victory this season after Monday’s 71-63 defeat at Avenue.

The home side managed to prevail in two of the three rinks to score the eight-shot win.

Creswick is also winless in 2016-17 after it was handed an 80-59 defeat by Sebastopol.

In what was a bottom-of-the-table clash, the Wickers drew one rink, but lost the others to give the Kookaburras their second win.

In the round’s other encounter, Smeaton registered a second success by beating Buninyong, 84-65.
