Young Women’s Bowling Club

There has been lots of Championship bowls played over the last week. On Wednesday and Thursday the Regional play-offs for the Senior and State Triples were played at the Wagga Rules Club.

The team of Elsie Hines, Heather Bailey and Margaret Gailey from Young, and representing the South West District, had to play a team from Southern Slopes (West Wyalong) and a team from the Central Riverina (Leeton).

In the first game Young drew with West Wyalong 18 all and later Leeton defeated West Wyalong. In the final game South West District defeated Central Riverina 25-10. This meant the team from Young are the Champions and now go on to the State Finals to be played in Dubbo next March. Congratulations ladies.

Over the weekend Young held the District State and Senior Singles Championships. On Saturday morning there were four matches in the Senior division. Elsie Hines played Margaret Gailey – a win to Elsie 25–10. Jill Rosen played Suzanne Gault (Grenfell) – a win to Suzanne 25–20.

Yvonne Murphy (Boorowa) played Janice Roberts (Cootamundra Ex–Services) – a win to Janice 25-13. Sheila Traynor played Jan Slavin (Cootamundra Ex–Services) – a win to Sheila 25–6.

In the afternoon the semi-finals took place. Elsie Hines played Suzanne Gault – a win to Suzanne 25–18 and Sheila Traynor played Janice Roberts – a win to Sheila 25–9.

On Sunday the Final between Sheila Traynor and Suzanne Gault took place. The result was a win to Suzanne 25–11. She now goes on to the Regional Final to be held at Condobolin. Congratulations Suzanne.

The State Singles was also held but as there was only one match it became a straight out final. The match was between Judith Mulligan (Grenfell) and Lisa Arba (Boorowa). The result was a win to Judith 25–5 and she now goes to Condobolin for the Regional playoffs. Congratulations to Judith – and to all the ladies who participated.

This coming weekend we have the District Pairs Senior and State Championships to be held at Harden and in a month’s time we will have our annual Cherry Festival – so lots of bowls to come!
