Tatura have now settled into the four in third place and, with only three matches remaining, should play finals.
Jason Carter had a great win by 18 shots, 31 to 13, over Glenn Thatcher and John Attwood had a nine-shot 28 to 19 victory over Darren Kelly.
The Boyd boys both had wins to ensure a clean sweep over Mooroopna.
Brendon Boyd by seven shots, 25 to 18, against Bruce Anselmi and Nick Boyd won by eight shots, 28 to 16, against Max McKee.
Tatura's Division 6 West in their overall small four-shot loss 67 to 71 and four points to 12, against second on the ladder Stanhope have lost the opportunity to replace Stanhope in second spot, however Tatura's position will still enable them to play finals with only three rounds remaining.
Tatura's Joyce Andrus was in a 15-shot deficit and well-beaten by Clarrie Weller, 17 to 32.
Rod Kirby had a close match with Gary Rout and got home by three shots, 23 to 20. Tatura's other winning rink was Freda Clement who defeated John Gibbs by eight shots, 27 to 19.
Tatura's Midweek Division 2 bowls battled away against hometown rival Hill Top and scraped home for an overall win in a mixed collection of individual rink results being a win, a draw and a loss.
The win of 13 points to 3 has Tatura just outside the final four with only three games remaining.
The ensuing remainder games on paper look favourable to Tatura, for they are only 8 points behind second spot on the ladder and they meet lower ladder sides in Stanhope and Euroa in two of the remaining games.
Next week also sees the top four sides playing off against each other, so without getting ahead of themselves and not to get too cocky, the run home to make the finals action should confidently be a certainty.
Tatura's Dot Best was behind from the very start against Pauline Moroney, that is until the 16th end when on three consecutive ends Best scored 11 shots to put her side into an 18-to-12 lead.
The match then see-sawed until the game concluded with Best getting home by eight shots, 25 to 17.
Joyce Andrus commenced well against Glenda Smith but relinquished the lead and was well down, 8 to 14, on the 12th end.
A purple patch of bowling by her team and they had, with only two ends remaining, what looked like a match-winning lead of seven shots, 27 to 20, and a valuable two points for a rink win.
Smith in a never-say-die attitude grabbed a three on the penultimate end and a four on the last to salvage a high-scoring draw.
The remaining game between Freda Clement and Sue Moreton was a low-scoring match and close throughout, with both sharing the lead at various times.
Hill Top's Moreton hung onto win by one shot, 20 to 19, and collected two points for the rink win.
Tatura won overall by seven shots, 71 to 64, and gained 13 points to 3.
