They defeated Central Wendouree’s John Nimmo and Len Vincent by one shot in the final at Ballarat North.
Jordan and Wilcock jumped to a 5-1 lead after three ends before the game swung to see
Vincent and Nimmo in control 14-10 on the 13th in the 15-end match.
Vincent held a shot in the next end before Wilcock was able to hit the shot bowl and spring the jack
back into the ditch where Buninyong had a shot bowl.
Wilcock then secured a second shot with his last bowl to keep the match alive.
Jordan and Wilcock clearly claimed two shots in the head before going to a measure by umpire Scott Plater – the first time he was called on for the day – which went Buninyong’s way after three days of play.
Jordan and Wilcock now contest the region final against Goldfields and Central Victoria divisions.
