The ladies at the club have been busy contesting the Championship Triples, which commenced on Tuesday, 21st May, with the final played on Thursday, 29th May.
As expected, the competition was fierce, with many closely fought ends and the head often tightly packed with both teams’ bowls. After a strong display of skill and teamwork, the eventual winners were Marie Bragg (Lead), Val DePinto (Second), and Nuggie Pratt (Skip).
The runners-up were Daphne Offield (Lead), Jean Schmidtke (Second), and Lidia McCarthy (Skip).
Well done to all competitors who took part in this exciting event.
A special thank you to the ever-supportive umpire, June Cousen, for her continued dedication to all the club’s competitions.
Looking ahead, the Championship Singles will begin on Wednesday, 4th June, with matches scheduled alongside the B Singles through until 18th June.
Also worth noting is the launch of the Ladies Warehouse Bowls Fun Night, held each Tuesday evening from 6:30pm to approximately 8:30pm. All are welcome to come along, watch, or join in by putting their name down at the club. A $15 entry covers green fees and a delightful supper. New bowlers are especially welcome – equipment is provided.
Finally, Pennant season for all district clubs kicks off on 23rd June and will run until 31st July. Best of bowls to all clubs participating!
