The gusty conditions made it difficult for both teams, but the Curlews adjusted quickly to win both the morning matches by four shots.
Rick Bradbury won 15-11 and Roger Reynoldson won 14-10.
The afternoon matches were tight early, but again Berrigan were able to settle to make a clean sweep of the day, Reynoldson winning 13-7 and Bradbury winning 12-8.
In the other matches, Rand overcame a half-time deficit to win 50-39 and a combined team filling in for Urana defeated Jerilderie 53-40.
The expanded competition and new format for the Holy Shield has been a success, other than Urana unfortunately struggling for numbers most weeks.
The organisers are making plans to address this for 2025.
Berrigan
Berrigan played Tocumwal in a pennant practice match on Saturday, with an excellent turnout of 24 bowlers on hand.
Most exciting for the club was the performance of new Curlews such as Erika Walkerden, Chris Stock, Ged Towler and Greyd'n and Karen Davis, who all performed well in windy conditions.
The final pre-pennant hit-out for the Curlews is on Friday afternoon at Club Mulwala, starting at 4pm.
Pennant starts the following weekend, which is the Labour Day long weekend.
