Still struggling to find form the fifth side lost to Parkdale by 14 shots.
The sixth side suffered its first defeat for the season, losing narrowly to Ringwood 92-87, while the seventh side with a team thrown together at the last minute battled gamely against East Malvern but lost 77-61.
Burden Park’s top Victorian Ladies’ Bowls Association Pennant side continued to blow away the opposition, thumping Beaumaris 137-55.
Evelyn Martin and her rink won brilliantly 42-12.
