THE Highlands Playing Area continued in round six, with plenty of intriguing results.
Romsey and Gisborne continue to be the runaway leaders in division 1, with Romsey recording a 71-40 win over Kyneton Golf.
Romsey just missed out on claiming a clean sweep, with Greg Taylor losing to Adrian Plowman 14-15. However, Damien Ely’s 25-12 win over Dale Bont and John Beaumont’s 32-13 win over Wayne Turner means Romsey move to the top.
This was assisted by rivals Lancefield, who came desperately close to ending Gisborne’s start to the season.
Lancefield took two of the rinks, with Jeff Holmes defeating Ethan Higgins 18-16 and Aaron Andrews beating Braidon Johnson 16-15, but Alan Higgins’ 20-13 win over Shane Ray meant it was a 51-47 triumph to Gisborne.
Kilmore moved to third thanks to a clean sweep over Diggers Rest.
Lance Whitnall defeated Rod Treweek 24-13, while Daniel Noonan’s 22-15 win over Garry Candy and Raymond Jansen’s 24-23 win over Phil Robinson meant it was a 70-51 triumph.
Broadford competed hard with Kyneton, but fell just short, losing 71-54.
Darryn Lee pushed Gregory Podesta all the way before losing 20-21, while Mark Carboon similarly gave Sarah Howard a fright, losing 17-21. Stephen Bryant lost 17-29 to David Kennedy.
Kilmore remains atop division 2 thanks to a comfortable 80-29 win over Diggers Rest and now lead the competition by a remarkable 38 points after just six games.
Romsey’s quest to remain top two took a significant blow, however, losing to Mt Cottrell 60-55.
In division 3, Romsey proved too strong for Kilmore, sweeping the rinks to win 68-42, while Broadford took the points against Kyneton, winning 66-42. Lancefield fell short against Gisborne, losing 46-61.
