Tallygaroopna’s Allan Matheson Shield stranglehold will remain intact for another week.

The Redlegs’ unbeaten run extended to five in the Goulburn Valley Playing Area’s weekend pennant competition, fending off Seymour VRI at Tallygaroopna Bowls Club.

VRI skip David Ellis was the lone ranger as his quartet picked up a first-rink win over Mitch Sidebottom to hand the star Redleg his first defeat of the season.

But it was all green in the remaining three head-to-heads.

Guy Madigan (23-15), David Daws (21-14), and Leigh Clark (22-15) handed Tallygaroopna the buffer it needed to seal a 16-83 to 2-65 triumph, carrying its winning streak this season to four games.

The Redlegs stand a game clear atop the Matheson Shield mountain - but scaling the peak is a Tatura Hill Top outfit on the rise.

The Bulldogs’ 45-shot win over Mooroopna is the club’s fourth of the season, shifting them two games clear inside the top four and moving them one win shy of the five-win campaigns of the previous two years.

Tatura Hill Top’s Brendan Boyd is one of the division one competition’s two remaining undefeated skips, and his four were on song again as a 36-9 rout laid the platform for the Bulldogs’ 16-99 to 2-54 triumph at Hill Top Bowling Club.

Josh Warren (24-15) and Paul Newman’s quartets (22-9) joined Boyd in the winners’ circle, while Dan Considine got a rink up for the visiting Mooroopna to walk away with at least two points.

The Bulldogs are third on the Matheson Shield ladder, now 4-1 and on equal footing with next-up opponent Shepparton Golf.

The Golfers held on to second with a 15-shot win over Euroa, while Shepparton Park pipped cross-town rival East Shepparton 15-91 to 3-72.
