Goosies Sport and Recreation Club recently hosted the 2025 Champion of Club Champion Singles, marking the first time the major bowls event has been held at the venue. The tournament drew 112 players over seven days, featuring 64 fours, 32 pairs, and 16 singles from clubs across Queensland.
A highlight of the event was 14-year-old Ben Harrison from Paradise Point, who made history by taking out the men’s singles title.
“Everybody was blown away by the club, the staff, and the performance of the players,” said Goosies Meneral manager Michael Newton.
“A young 14-year-old took out the men’s singles against everybody else in Queensland, which is a major achievement for him.”
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli even dropped by to celebrate Harrison’s win. Newton said the event showcased Goosies as a leading venue and helped boost the local economy, adding that the club plans to introduce junior programs to encourage more young bowlers.
