Congratulations to Kobie Cromie and his bowling partner on winning the State Under 18 Boys Pairs. A great effort.
The Ladies 100 Up Final was held between Ros King and Jan Hermassoo. It was a great game of draw bowls with Ros holding the lead for most of the game.
Jan got an 8 and 9 to close the gap but unfortunately ran out of ends with Ros claiming the win. Congratulations to Ros on being the Ladies 100 Up Champion for 2021/22 and well done to Jan on being Runner Up.
