The rink skipped by Michelle Cunnington proved the difference for Echuca, her squad prevailing 31-10 over a Darren Yates-led side to set up the 66-51 overall win at Moama Bowling Club.

Pat Schram was also successful for Echuca, scoring the victory 22-15 over Roy Jackson.

Trevor Eastwell’s rink was promising for Moama, his side getting up 26-13 over Lee Beattie, but the margins across the greens had gotten away from the Steamers.

It was a big turnaround over the season from Echuca, which lost its round two meeting with Moama 0-44 to 16-63.

After grabbing third spot, the champion ran through Rich River in the semi-final but only made the decider by a single shot, 66-65 over Stanhope in the preliminary final.

Moama had previously lost only twice in the season, to two sides that didn’t make finals at all, but couldn’t add the pennant to a strong overall campaign.
