Wangaratta Bowls

The Wangaratta team of Denise Wallace, Margaret Wilson, Penny Warren, and Fely Duncan competed at South Townsville Bowls Club for four days in the prestigious Premier Cup competition last week.

They faced off against teams from 10 other District Clubs across Bowen, Ayr, Brandon, Alligator Creek, Ingham, Noorla, Jubilee, Suburban, Thuringowa, and South Townsville.

The Wangaratta ladies team led graciously and fought back with determination when they had to in their fixtures, coming away with nine wins from 10 wins with a margin of 151.

After claiming the trophy, Margaret and the team thanked the District Match Committee for such a successfully run tournament and invited all district clubs to travel to Wangaratta Club in Bowen in 2023.

As part of winning the cup, Wangaratta also gains hosting rights for the next year.

The club’s Monday triples competition has now finished for the year with winners Eileen Dunn, Virginia, and Tim Noar defeating Leon Fox, B Lampard, and Ian Best.

Tuesday social bowls winners were Deb Retchless, Bill Parker, and David Madden, who defeated Judy Christie, Colleen Christopher, and Pearl Aykens.
