It’s been a huge week for the club, both at home and away.
Club pairs champions Denise Wallace and Penny Warren travelled to Townsville for the District Club Champion of Champion event, where they won three tight matches to claim the title. They’ll return in August to play the Far North Queensland winners for a spot in the State Finals.
Later in the week, Denise, Penny and Tiarna Rogers represented North Queensland in the Northern Women’s Challenge. After nine games over three days, North Queensland secured the title with a convincing win over Mackay in the final match.
Back at the club, social bowls rolled on. Monday’s triples winners were Mark McKanza and Kennedy, with Trish Webb, Bob Lindsay and Leon Fox as runners-up. The jackpot didn’t go off.
On Tuesday, the large jackpot was finally won by Jocelyn Defranciscis, Shirley Smith and Jim C. Rink 8 produced the day’s winners — Elaine White, Lyn Madden and Bruce Thompson — while runners-up were Natalie Hands, Jill Hopper and Bob Dykstra.
Friday’s Fun Bowls and barefoot session was well attended, and Saturday’s annual Wangaratta vs All States match saw All States take the win, with Dave Madden accepting the trophy. Thanks to Tarn and Denise for manning the BBQ.
Good luck to our Premier Cup ladies heading to Thuringowa this weekend!
