Altona Sports advanced to the Bowls Victoria weekend pennant grand final in division 4, section 1 after beating Point Cook 83-65 in the semi-final. The club’s second side also secured a grand final berth on Saturday, with that decider set for the following weekend.

Bowls results anchor local effort

These outcomes trace directly to sustained participation at Altona Sports, where two sides reached finals on the same weekend. The first team’s 83-65 margin over Point Cook supplied the clearest marker of progress in division 4, section 1. The second side’s parallel qualification extends the club’s presence in the competition one week later.

Altona HC recorded a 2-2 draw in State League One women against ladder leader Greensborough after trailing by two goals. The same club’s men’s side conceded three goals in the opening 15 minutes and fell to Doncaster; the women’s team lost 0-2 in the same fixture.

Football sides maintain schedules

Altona Magic lost 3-1 to Green Gully Cavaliers and Altona City lost 1-0 to Bayside Argonauts FC in separate recent matches. These results sit alongside the bowls and hockey fixtures as part of the same weekend of local competition.

The immediate next step for Altona Sports involves preparation for the two grand finals, one this coming weekend and the second the weekend after. Clubs can check fixture updates through the listed competition portals to confirm times and venues.
