Moama had won on two of three rinks.
RSL bowlers Bruce Clancy, Ken Bowden, Peter Liefting and Allan Hodges suffered a heavy defeat, only scoring eight shots overall and winning just six ends.
Leading all day and scoring on fifteen ends, Moama cruised to victory, 34-8.
Jenny Tonta with her grouping of Tony Tonta, Cheryl Bradley and Miro Peterman fared little better, but were still beaten decisively by a polished Moama combination.
Trailing after seven ends, RSL failed to make any inroads for the reminder of the match, eventually going down by 20 shots, 30-10.
Wayne Bradley, Ron Marchetti, Bruce Ferry and Ian McKenzie provided the only joy for RSL on the day, winning on their rink by five shots.
Ferry and Marchetti played consistently all day with some great draw bowling.
Leading 15-8 after 12 ends, RSL were challenged by the Moama team when it won the next six ends to lead 16-15 after 18 ends.
RSL steadied to take the final three ends and six shots to run out winners, 21-16.
Division 4 was also on the road to meet Rich River Green, and strong wins on both rinks ensured a very comfortable win overall for RSL — 57 to 24.
Jim Jenning’s team of Lindsay Dalzell, Don McCalman and Neville Austin took a while to shake off a determined Rich River side.
Leading 17-9 after 14 ends, they collected a magnificent seven shots on the 15th end to blow the game apart and cruise to a 16 shot victory, 29-13.
John Wilson, Archie Webster, Graeme Gordon, and Sandra Hill also had a comfortable win in their game.
Starting with four shots on each of the first two ends, they were never headed, winning 13 ends and by 14 shots overall, 28-11.
