It’s been another action-packed and inspiring week for bowlers from Airlie Beach Bowls Club, both on and off the green.
At the Para-Powerlifting Nationals on the Gold Coast, our very own Di Jackson took out the bronze medal, proving once again that her wheelchair is no match for her inner strength. Di continues to inspire with every achievement, adding another chapter to her remarkable story.
Back on the green, the Men’s Triples Championship brought some serious drama. After preliminary rounds on Saturday and semi-finals Sunday morning, the final was set. Manny Isgro, Peter Barrett and Andrew Butler—with four previous titles together—were well ahead at 17–6. But in a stunning turnaround, Kevin John Trembath, Alan Pershouse, and Andrew Butler fought back to win 29–19 in a brilliant display of precision and grit.
Tuesday’s Ladies Pennants also delivered impressive results.
Cathryn Remmeswaal, Wendy Pomeroy, Betty Whitehorn, and Betty Nicole defeated Mackay City 23–15.
Carol Crosbie, Regina Aquilina, Ladda Purdie, and Joan McGrath also notched a 23–16 win.
On Wednesday, Alan Pershouse and Betty Whitehorn were the standout performers at social bowls.
Meanwhile, at the Queensland Deaf Bowls Championships at Kawana, Russell Jackson claimed a thrilling 11–8 win in the final end, earning the title of Queensland Champion.
We’ll have Business House Bowls and Scroungers updates next week. Until then, keep rolling and enjoy your week on the green!
