YALLOURN proved too strong for Morwell Club winning 102/87 in round two of the Mid Gippsland pennant.
For Yallourn, Alan Grubb won 32/23 against Ian Hilsley and George Lambos demolished Alan Ralls 28/18, while for Morwell Club Phil Wynd won 27/21 over Pidge Burrows and Ian Kirkup defeated Yallourn's new recruit, Paul Williamson 25/21.
At Moe the home side battled against Traralgon and lasted to win 103/96 with two rinks being relatively close and the other two having wins by big margins.
At Trafalgar, the home side surprised Warragul with a solid 103/80 win, while at Longwarry visitors Drouin were too strong winning 109/80.
Yallourn remains undefeated after two round which bodes well for a very competitive season.
Next week the main game is at Traralgon when Morwell Club visits.
These two played off for the pennant last season so another top encounter is expected.
Yallourn is home to Longwarry and will have a big win, Drouin hosts Warragul and will get the points in a close game and Moe hosts Trafalgar and should record a win.
In division two RSL upstaged Neerim, winning 98/95, Morwell easily beat Drouin 109/83, Moe beat Thorpdale comfortably 103/85 and Traralgon got home 102/86 against Garfield after play was delayed for 25 minutes due to a heavy thunderstorm which flooded the green.
Next week unbeaten sides Morwell and Traralgon clash at Morwell.
