Rochy travelled up the Northern Hwy to Echuca Bowls Club last Tuesday but couldn’t find form in the 16-87 to 0-40 defeat.
The rink led by Kerryn Evans secured the largest margin, 30-12 over Richard Feuk, but all three resulted in big wins for Echuca.
Ian Page skipped his side over Kaye Barker’s quartet 24-11, while James Ferrier earned a 33-17 victory in his win over Don Gillies.
The result gives Echuca some breathing room in second spot, while Rochester remains at the foot of the ladder.
Rochester’s next match will see it host Mathoura on November 25.
Moama is still the clear leader and Echuca has now opened up a gap in second.
Deniliquin, Kyabram and Stanhope are all clustered around the remaining finals places.
