Melton has finally returned to the winners’ list in Bowls Victoria Pennant, division 1, section 1.
A first-up loss on Saturday was followed by a handy win on Sunday.
In the first match, Melton went down to second-placed Sunbury.
Sunbury took all 18 points in its 86 (18)-61 (0) win.
But three of the four rinks were separated by five shots or less, with only one Sunbury rink having a big win.
That loss was Melton’s sixth in a row.
