SMEATON will have its mixed (turkey) fours on Sunday, December 11, from 2.30pm.

Entry fee is $8 and are being taken by tournament secretary Graeme Perry (0408 783466).

A WEEKEND division five pennant match between Ballarat Memorial Sport and Webbcona on Saturday is well worth a mention.

Webbcona, which features Daryl Muller (pictured), had a four-shot victory to see it leapfrog BMS into sixth place on the ladder.

The loss means BMS has slipped from fifth to seventh.

Webbcona is enjoying a good start to the season.

Its premier division combination is third, divisions two and three are holding down second spots.

Then its sides in Divisions five, six and eight, while all out of the top four, still have a chance to challenge for finals positions as the season progresses.
