Home of bowls

Tewantin Noosa Bowls
TEWANTIN-NOOSA Bowls Club has been the ‘home’ of bowls on the Sunshine Coast, hosting the Queensland State/District sides and sharing the preliminary rounds with other Sunshine Coast clubs but very fortunate to be ‘hosting’ all the finals of the Queensland State Championships over the past two weeks.
A big thankyou to Bowls Queensland for the privilege, especially to chairman John Dawson, events co-ordinator Ron Somerville and umpire co-ordinator John Kirkpatrick.
Special mention to Bill and Steve (our greens staff) ably assisted by Schoey, also Marlene, Gary, the umpires, markers and the many volunteers who contributed to the success of both events.
The side also managed some social bowls this week. Due to the State Championships, the men played triples on Wednesday in lieu of pairs and the winners were Graham Foster, Lindsay Barker and Gary Hughes (2+32). Runners-up: Alan Curtis, Mike Lowe and Ian McCallum (1+12). The Jackpot of $414 was not won and carries over.
’Friendly Friday’ winners were Kath Simmons, Gary Bond and Bryan Simmons. Runners-up, Gwen Steel, Dossie Buckley and Alan Laird.
The jackpot of $164 was won by teams Bolesworth and Land. Pennant season is nearly upon us, so the club is looking for players and selectors in both the Women’s and Men’s sections. If you are interested, put your names up at the club.
