Bowen Bowls Report

A local Bowen bowls club enjoyed a month of excellent bowls brimming with the company of southerners looking for a change in the weather, as well as representation across the Burdekin.

At the local group, social bowls kicked into gear on Wednesdays and Sundays, with plenty of excellent bowls played between competitors.

It was certainly an enjoyable week, but most enjoyable for those at the winner’s table.

That included Wednesday winners Charlie Van Bakel, Bev Smith, and Peter Thomson, as well as Dianne Harris, Lindsay Harris, and Jane Gilbert.

They were also joined by winners Jill Cunningham, Paul King, and Marilyn Turner.

Sunday socials winners were comprised of Klevo Takanen, Gavin Charles, and Ron Gould, with the following week’s top team Gavin Charles, Jill Brabon, Steve Roome, and Tiarna Rogers.

There were pennants matches in early July, too, with BBC Ladies’ team coming runners up in the Purple Pennants held in the Burdekin.

That team was comprised of Jill Brabon, Paula Welsted, Joan Edwards, Helen Jacobsen, Tiarna Rogers, Eddy Neylon, Tracey Roach, Bev Smith, and Aileen Fordham.

And there was the overall Winners of the Lions Trophy in the Purple Pennants: Aileen Fordham, Tiarna Rogers, Joan Edwards, and Bev Smith.
