Nail-biter at the top for Webbcona | BHBR Tuesday Pennant Rd 13 Review

A six-shot win in the second rink for WEBBCONA against MIDLANDS was enough to take home 12 points in a 59 to 58 triumph.

Those 12 points will feel like an awful lot more with Webbcona jumping Midlands in the standings to finish the round in third place.

Just three points separate the two sides on the ladder, after Midlands managed to claim two rinks in Tuesday's sensational contest.

While Webbcona celebrated a thrilling win, CLUNES celebrated its first win since round five after overcoming CRESWICK 70 (14) to 49 (2).

Clunes' first-rink performance, led by Mark Vorbach, saw the last-placed side come out firing to eventually boast a 50-27 lead after two rinks.

Though the win did not lift Clunes off the bottom of the ladder, it now sits equal on wins with Creswick with three.

Many sides came into the round with the chance to sneak into the top four, but none capitalised more than VICTORIA, which recorded a 63 (14) to 50 (2) win over BUNINYONG.

The victory rocketed Victoria from seventh place to fifth to now sit just five points behind Midlands.

It was business as usual for the two sides at the top in BMS and CITY OVAL on Tuesday.

City Oval cruised to an 82 (16) to 42 (0) clean sweep while BMS was flawless against Sebastopol.
